All web-based software can experience performance issues relating to the connections and environment in which it operates. The number of tabs you have open at any one time has a direct impact on it.
Why You Should Never Have Too Many Tabs Open At Once
- We often hear people complain that their system is slow and unstable. It's easy to blame software developers for using bad coding and not managing memory correctly, but there's a more common element: having too many browser tabs open at once.
Open enough browser tabs and it doesn't matter whether you're running Chrome or Firefox, IE, Safari or Opera: your system is going to slow down significantly and eventually your browser will crash altogether, quite often bringing your entire environment down with it. It is quite simple you just can't process that much information simultaneously, at least not right now.
While the tab function is a useful tool for moving back and forth between tabs, many websites are already heavy in video, images, music and complex hypertext preprocessor code. As a result, too many open tabs will slow your computer's performance cause the system to freeze or force reload and hangs for no good reason.
For Safari users, in particular, Apple designed the browser to force reload all tabs instead of freezing up. But, while this process is meant to be helpful, Mac users can lose any unsaved information on their open tabs if one page is taking too long to load, this is a very common issue our users report while working on Newsletters under the Engage section and very often while editing or creating content under the Document Manager tool.
Essential Tips
- While working on a browser always save your data more often than regularly, this is a common recommendation from all of at Vega and all webmasters.
- The best thing for all PC users to do is to try to limit the number of tabs you keep open at a time, especially when visiting websites that use Adobe Flash your web browser may load web pages quickly when you have a single tab open anyway but will start to slow down when you have an increasing number of tabs, this could drastically affect the performance of your web-based software.
- Mastering your browser to improve speed, making it consume less RAM and increase privacy its important.
- Refresh or tune-up your browser
Web browsers work hard, and mostly get little in the way of care and attention. But a little tune-up can go a long way to making them perform faster and more efficiently. - Always update your browser
If you haven't closed your browser in a while probably because you've got a whole bunch of tabs you're keeping open then most likely there's an update waiting to be installed. You can easily tell if there's an update on later releases, notifications or in the browser settings dots. - Remove unwanted plug-ins and extensions
A browser extension is a computer program that extends the function of web browsers. They enable additional features on your web browser, modify web pages and integrate your browser with the other services you use often affecting the behaviour on other web-based software just like Vega.
Always read the Privacy Policy section of each extension before installing and only download browser extensions from authors that you know and trust. Using extensions that have a lot of users online somehow assures you that you are using something that lots of people trust.
- Refresh or tune-up your browser
