    Sites take too long to open

    Why does it take some sites so long to open? Is there something wrong with my computer or is it just that site? Seems like so many times I want to go somewhere in a hurry I get the moving circle forever before the site opens.

    Run your anti virus and malwarebytes as I suggested in your other thread. Make sure that you have sufficient memory
    and
    Run for 8 passes.
    Then test each stick in a good slot for 6 passes.
    If you have dual channel, the results may be incorrect, if shows pass.

    Do you have at least 3gb ram?
    Also try another broswer. If using IE, disable add ons, see step 2 and 3
    Internet Explorer - Reset

    I have no idea what a "pass" or "stick" is. I run my anti virus and malware thingie twice a week. I had more ram added a year ago. I use Firefox and Chrome.

    Just do the other stuff.
    Its probably browser related.

    Ok, try to remove the addons, like I suggested for IE, but do it to you browser of choice.

    The only add on I have is Do Not Track Plus. This stops sites from tracking me.

    Strange now every site opens nicely. So many it was the cache and cookies I cleaned that fixed it.
