Here, we'll go over all of the issues that you may be experiencing, as well as how to fix them. Before you attempt more complicated solutions, try and reset Chrome. It takes little to no time and it might fix your problems. Here is how you do it:. While resetting Chrome doesn't affect your bookmarks or saved passwords, it will remove all pinned tabs, browsing data, and cookies.
Also, this will disable all of your browser extensions, so you'll need to re-enable them. If this is the case, you might have a poor internet connection, or there is an incompatible third-party extension. Before changing Chrome's settings, check your internet connection. To check for a faulty extension, switch to Incognito Mode. To open it, click the three dots placed in the top-right corner and select New incognito window. If you can view PDFs while using Incognito mode, the problem is caused by one of your extensions.
To find out which extension is causing you trouble, turn off all extensions and then enable them one by one. If you can't open PDFs even if you are using Incognito mode, hidden malware might be causing issues. Luckily, Chrome comes with a malware detection and removal tool for these cases. Opened PDFs might have odd-looking text, missing images, or even laggy scrolling. These problems might be caused by an outdated Chrome version.
While Chrome updates itself automatically, you can start an update manually. However, there may be times when hidden bugs and issues slow it down. After going through this article, you can determine if it's the internet or your browser that's slowing down your downloads.
The nine fixes that we cover in this article can help you speed up downloads if they are slower than usual. You must first confirm that a slow internet connection is not the cause of your slow download speed. Downloading the same files on another browser or another system connected to the same internet connection will confirm this. If the download speed is normal on other laptops or other browsers on the same laptop, the issue may be with your Chrome browser.
If that's so, follow the steps below to fix the slow Chrome download speed issue. Each tab open in your browser consumes some resources. Chrome has very few resources to utilize when so many tabs are open, and you're downloading files. Therefore, a lack of RAM resources can slow down the download process. In addition to using RAM, each open tab puts some strain on the internet. As more tabs are open, the internet becomes slower, causing files to take longer to download. Try closing the unused tabs one by one to see if it makes any difference to the download speed.
Surfing over the internet is more secure with a VPN. If, however, the VPN server is too far from you, the data packet will take longer to travel between your and the server's location. This will slow down Chrome browsing as well as download speeds. Check whether removing the VPN connection improves download speeds. However, this will expose your IP address, so make sure it won't compromise your security.
Chrome updates can eliminate hidden issues and enhance its performance. The download speed may slow down if Chrome is not updated to its latest version. If Chrome is already updated, you'll see the message "Google Chrome is up-to-date". If not, update it and download the file again. Menu Menu. Search Everywhere Threads This forum This thread.
