Internet Explorer 11/10/9 Very Slow to Load Pages in New Tab
This post explains the problems and solutions to when your IE11/IE10/IE9 is very slow to load pages, freezes when opening new tab, or open in new tab not working.
If your Internet Explorer 11/10/9/8 takes more than 3sec to finish opening a new tab, you are experiencing the slow tab opening which is a common problem to many IE 11/10/9/8 users. What follows are the solutions to this “open new tab slow” problem.
Everytime you open a new tab, IE will connect to something before it gets ready for you to use. Consequently, the Add-ons that you’ve installed in your IE might intentionally or inadvertently slows down the new tab opening process. Recently, Microsoft has put up a post in the official IE Blog to explain how Add-ons could potentially decrease the browsers’ performance in crucial activities like opening a new tab.
Now that we know what causes the problem, I think you probably already have some solutions there in your mind. Yes, disabling add-ons is indeed the only solution, but which one should you disable? I bet you wouldn’t want to disable those that you need badly while surfing the internet. The following is a chart provided by Microsoft that shows the median load times for the newest versions of the 50 most used add-ons in IE today. Users who have many of these add-ons installed will definitely notice a performance impact when starting IE or creating a new tab. This chart can help you to decide which add-ons to disable.
