How to make your computer run faster: if you are in Chrome

Often if you are in a hotel you are sharing bandwidth with everyone else in the Hotel so if you don't speed up your computer (usually a laptop) nothing is going to happen (at least not very fast).

So, if you are in Chrome to speed up your computer you go up to History. IF you look carefully at the top of your screen you see from the left CHROME File Edit View History Bookmarks People Window and then Help

Go over to History. The point here is not necessarily that you want to delete your history so if you actually want your history so you can more easily go back to previous sites you might not have bookmarks for then don't delete your history. However, what you really want to delete is all unnecessary cookies. That's the real thing that slows your computer down.

So, go up and click on "history" now if you want to:

Now go to the bottom of all this where it says: "Show Full History" and then click on that.
Now look to your left where it says "Clear Browsing Data" and click on that.

If you don't want to delete your history because you are using it for some real reason then unclick where it says "Browsing history" but I usually just delete everything because it just so speeds up everything on your computer so you can actually use it much better.

However, I advise you NOT to click on any more new things unless you are an actual programmer who actually has been trained to think this way and knows how to correct any mistakes you might make. So, if you aren't a programmer likely you don't want to delete any more than you see checked already to speed up your computer which really really bogs down from cookies. So,for me it is eliminating all cookies which is my real goal here to speed up my computer many times over.

The other thing it does is it is going to log you out of any website you are logged into so be prepared for that too. So, you will have to log into whatever websites you want to again after this.

Happy Computing
