Please help---IE8 performs too slowly!!!

Kathy Lee · 08-24-2009, 01:38 AM

I just downloaded and installed IE8. I am curious about the new explorer. But it performs too slowly. It takes about 2 minutes to access any Web site specified. Why is that? How can I correct this issue? Do I need change some settings before starting with IE8? Many thanks to you!

You can try optimizing IE8 by going tools > internet options

then delete cookies, temp files, history, forms, password

then go to connection tab > lan settings > make sure nothing is checked

then go to security tab > make sure everything is on default

then go to advanced > restore advanced settings

then go to programs > manage add-ons > check if there's any unnecessary addon that you can disable (you can list them here if you'd like to)

you can also try disabling 'phishing filter' as an option.

ArmaTheGreek, thank you so much for your instructions.

I have followed most of them except the last one to disable my add-ons.
Most add-ons in the list are frequently used. After changing those settings, I checked the result, and it seems a little bit better than before. But not that well as I expected. I am deciding to return to my previous version IE6.

Thank you so much for you nice help all the time. I really appreciate.

No problem Kathy, going back to IE6 would be my last option.
