You can make Chrome faster by following these steps
Step 1: Update Chrome
Chrome works best when you're on the latest version.
Step 2: Close unused tabs
The more tabs you have open, the harder Chrome has to work. We recommend closing tabs you aren't using.
- On the tab, click Close .
- For Windows, Linux, and Chrome OS, use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + w.
- For Mac, use the keyboard shortcut ⌘ + w.
Step 3: Turn off or stop unwanted processes
Turn off or delete unwanted extensions
Extensions are small programs you can add to Chrome on your computer that let you do more. If you're not using all your extensions, you can turn them off to speed up Chrome.
- On your computer, open Chrome.
- At the top right, click More More tools Extensions.
- Turn off or remove the extension.

Stop unwanted tasks
Look for tasks you no longer need that are using a lot of resources, like a video or an app.
- On your computer, open Chrome.
- At the top right, click More .
- Select More tools Task Manager.

- Click End Process.
- Note: Any unsaved work in your task will be lost.
Step 4: Let Chrome open pages faster
You can turn on network action predictions ("page prefetch") to make Google Chrome open webpages faster. When the setting is on, Chrome preloads the links you might open.
- On your computer, open Chrome.
- At the top right, click More Settings.
- In the "Privacy and security" section, select Cookies and other site data.
- Turn on "Preload pages for faster browsing and searching."
Step 5: Check your computer for Malware

- Under “Reset and clean up,” click Clean up computer.
- Click Find. Chrome will scan your computer for unwanted software and offer to remove it for you.
- Click Remove.
