Speeding Up Web Browsing |
|
You may have noticed that web pages load into your browser window at different speeds. The speed of a page's download (or transfer) depends on several factors, including the speed of your Internet connection or modem, the length of the page, and the number of images and sounds the page contains.
If you have a slow Internet connection and want to speed up web page downloads, you can instruct Netscape Navigator to replace the page's own images with small icons, called placeholders, when it loads a page.

You Try It: Turn Off Automatic Image Loading |
- From the Communicator menu bar, select Edit, Preferences. The Preferences dialog box will appear.
- Click Advanced on the Category list. That panel will move to the front.
- Windows: Uncheck Automatically Load Images. Macintosh : Uncheck Automatically Load Images And Other Data Types.
- Click OK to close the Preferences dialog box and return to the Navigator window.
The next time you access a web page, you'll see little placeholders instead of the images that would normally load with the page, and your toolbar will have a new button called Images for you to click when you want to see the images on a page.

Tips for New Users |
|
When you turn off automatic image loading, you can still decide to view images. If you have auto image loading turned off, click the Images button on the navigation toolbar to load the images on that page. To view a single image without loading other images, click the image's icon on the downloaded web page.
