Google Chrome, a great and already quite faster internet browser. However, Google Chrome can be made even faster by adjusting several settings.

Note: These settings in Chrome are constantly changing. It is possible that the flags or settings are outdated if you are reading this article!

Make Google Chrome a lot faster

We'll start by opening Google Chrome's “secret” settings.

To make searching through this maze of settings a lot easier, it is best to use the Google Chrome search function to more easily find the different settings that I recommend.

Set Maximum Tile to 512

We're going to start by setting the Maximum Tile. Maximum Tile is a setting that tells Google Chrome how much RAM it can use for intensive websites.

• Use the CTRL+F or CMD+F keyboard shortcut in Google Chrome and search for “Maximum number of tiles for area of ​​interest"
• Change the option from Default to 512

Adjust number of raster threads

We will adjust the next Raster threads option from default to 4. This option will optimize the rendering speed of images and therefore load images a lot faster.

• Use the CTRL+F or CMD+F keyboard shortcut in Google Chrome and search for “Number of raster threads"
• Adjust the option from default to 4.

Activate SPDY

This adjustment will make surfing the Internet a lot faster, SPDY is still experimental. The main objective of this project is to replace the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) version 1.1 with a better alternative to achieve higher transmission speed through data compression, prioritization and multiplexing “HTTP/2”.

• Use the CTRL+F or CMD+F keyboard shortcut in Google Chrome and search for “SPDY"
• Select switch.

Enable overlay scroll bars

Scroll bars for overlay will make scrolling a page more pleasant as Scroll bars for overlay make scrolling smoother. This feels more subtle, and is less a feature to make Google Chrome faster and more to improve the user experience. It works especially well on longer websites with more content.

• Use the CTRL+F or CMD+F keyboard shortcut in Google Chrome and search for “Scroll bars for overlay"
• Select switch.
