Welcome back, in today’s video I’ll be showing you how to make Google Chrome run
faster on a Windows 10 PC. This won’t cover ways to speed up your internet, but you may
notice an improvement in page loading times by following the methods in this video. There
might not be dramatic differences but hopefully at least a few of these methods improve your
browsing experience. If you are using Chrome but not on a Windows 10 PC, you might still
be able to follow some of the video. Remember to leave a like and feel free to subscribe
if the video helps, let’s get into the methods. The first thing we’ll check is that we have
hardware acceleration turned on, this should especially help with loading and playing videos
in your browser. To check, load up Chrome and head to the settings, this is found by
going to the three dots icon in the top right and then to settings. In the Chrome settings,
scroll down to the bottom and click on the advanced option to bring up more settings.
Now scroll down until you find the section called system. In here, make sure the toggle
switch is turned on for hardware acceleration. Let’s move onto the next method.
Stay in the settings for the next method, this time look for the section called privacy
and security, it should be towards the top. Under here, choose “cookies and other site
data”. This should load another settings page, in here, look for the option called
preload pages for faster browsing. Turn this toggle switch on. If you can’t find this
or any of the other settings in the video, you can always use the search function in
the settings to find it. You can also turn off and revert any of the changes you’ve
made if they don’t make a difference or make things worse, just follow the video again
to do so. The next thing we’ll try is removing any
extensions that you have on Chrome. There might be some you don’t need and if you
can remove these, they should help speed up Chrome. To check the extensions you have,
and to also remove them, click on the jigsaw piece icon in the top right of Chrome and
then choose manage extensions. This page will now display all of the extensions you have
installed, click on remove of any you don’t rely on and then remove again to delete these
and hopefully speed up Chrome. Another thing to think about is any other
applications that are running on your PC. It might be worth closing these or stopping
any background apps from running and slowing down your PC and Chrome. Click the card onscreen
now to watch a separate video of mine which will show you how to stop background apps
slowing down your PC. A quick solution as well is to not use as
many tabs, the more tabs you use the more your PC may struggle to keep up and this will
slow down your browsing experience on Chrome. The final way to improve Chrome’s performance
is to speed up your Windows 10 PC in general. There are plenty of ways to do this, and this
includes things like freeing up space, ensuring the power settings are best for performance
and many more. Luckily, I’ve compiled ten easy ways to speed up your PC and you can
watch those in the video on the card now. They should help speed up Chrome as well as
your PC experience and all those methods are easy to follow.
And so that is how to make Google Chrome run faster on a Windows 10 PC. If you have any
