Question – Seeking Revelation for Slow Browing Speed ​​- On One Machine – ryan

Hi, hi

I seek the counsel of the wizards out there. Sorry if this shouldn’t be in networking – Think ITIFIC to One Machine. IT’S My Main Machine, A Windows 10 Mid-SPEC dell whic i’ve used for about 4 years so far. For the past two Weeks, a great many websites are really slow to load – if they load at all. I’ve attached a pic of what one website homepage will look like several minutes; In that Particular Instance, The Loading Icon Will Stop AFTER THOSE COUPLE OF MINUTES AND THERE WONE ATEY ATEMPT TO LOAD THE IMAGES ETC – ALL THOSE GREY AND WHITE BOXES SHOULD HAVE ON THE UNDER, WHICH SOCONDS FOR MOCHINES. On YouTube, if I was Lucky to Reach a Specific Video Page, It Might Events Play 10 Seconds of the Video Before A Buffer Attempt, THEN ABOUT LATE IT MIGHT SUCCEED IN LOADING ANOTHER 10 SECONDS, but at 240p! Yet Download Speeds, for Those Download Links of Can Reach, are unaffected.

These are some sites that are very Very Slowly Loading or Not Loading at All For Me:

These arees are Fine:

I’ve not been on tom’s for a while and forgot my password; I had to do the password recovery process on my backup laptop, Because on this problem Main Machine, we are asc as recover the password, the cloudflare verification steppe waading/appearing at all. Very odd stuff. Trying A Different Browser Makes No Difference. THEN BASED ON INITIAL SEARCHES ABOUT THE PROBLEM ONLINE, ONE Idea was to Change the dns server to think 8s and 4s what google uses, or the cloudflare equivalent – but that Done not.

Any Help/Ideas Appreciated here.

Two More Little Things Who Had TRIED, Based on Other Generic Threads of Saw Online. I’d Disabled Hardware Aciled for the Given Browser – Didn’t make a difference. I ALSO DISABLED THAT IPV6 THING IN THE NETWORK ADAPTOR SETTINGS – DIDN’T MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

Edit :: Adding Specs Which I Missed Earlier:
It ‘s dell xps 8940 BOUGHT Direct from dell, with Intel i7-10700k @3.80GHz (Base Clock), 16GB RAM, 500GB SSD (About Half Full) with (Unused) 1TB HDD as a backup. The GPU is a 6GB NVIDIA GeFORCE GTX 1660 IT.
The psu is a dell one, made specific for that unit i think – a 500W d5005p H500EPM -00 0y7r0x.
Attailed peripherals are a cherry Stream Keyboard and Logitech M100 Mouse. In case Needed for some reason, the monitor is one of the Oldschool 5: 4 Ones, A Dell P1913SB.
The Machine itelf Runs Fine with any Other Process. I don’t describe it as a high -end pc given it got a relatively Basic GPU (that came with the machine) and no snazzy cool system – just noctua fans; But the Machine’s Current Setup Give Crisp Performance at Most Everything – Practically Hasn’t Changed Over These 4 Years in That Respect.
The Task Manager / Resource Monitor isn’t showing any difference in performance that I can see. With a few explorer, notepad, ms paint and firefox Windows open, plus a video run in vlc, iT’e avreraaging about 7% of the CPU and 9.5GB OUT of 16GB RAM, WHICH ISN’T CHANGING OF HAVING THE ETHERNET PLUGGED IN OR, OR REGGARDLES OF WHATHER AGTHER Webpage is attempting to load or not. I do not see any sluggishness.
The Ethernet Adaptor is a Killer E2600 Gigabit Ethernet Controller. I’ve tried disabling that and ussing the wireless adaptor, but no difference made there. The router is from my issp talktalk, a sagemcom fast5364 3.00, with firmware version of sg4k100208. In che making that detail, noticed that some people on the talktalk forums are the talking of SINCE MARCH ’25 ABOUT ISSURE WITH THAT LATEST FIRMWARE, butn Again Probably People are posting problems with firmware all the time.
