Previously, there was a text with tips on optimizing Chrome for Android using experimental features that can be accessed by entering chrome: // flags in the address bar of the browser. Sorry, Google almost all of them removed, but there are other ways.
Remember that one of the key factors of Chrome speed and other applications still remains the hardware component of the device. If your smartphone or tablet frankly weak outdated iron, then it is unlikely that it will. In this case, it is better to buy a new gadget, especially now that a normal smartphone is quite cheap. If you are sure that Chrome on your device is running slower than it should, then proceed to optimize the browser according to our instructions.
Turn on the traffic savings
We mentioned earlier about the importance of iron performance for brisk browsing, but even the most feature-rich Snapdragon or desyatiyaderny Mediatek are powerless if the mobile Internet slow or unstable. The situation is aggravated tendency to weighting sites. Agree, the abundance of graphics in high resolution on a small screen mobile device is actually not so needed.
Google can drive downloads you page through its servers. Smart algorithms optimize content, carefully compress the image and will show you the lightweight page adapted for phone or tablet form, which weigh much less and are loaded faster.

Get into the habit to regularly clean your browser cache
Generally, the cache - a useful thing. Instead, each time to fully load the page, the browser takes the part of the data from the local cache, which is why the download speed increases. The problem is that an increase in the volume of cache browser takes more time and resources to work with him and instead of increasing the download speed of the user receives the brake and friezes. Sometimes effective again completely download the current version of the page, rather than to try to collect it from the accumulated rubbish. Clean the cache once a week. Of course, the first time after the cleaning page will open a little longer, but on the next call, you will notice download acceleration.
This operation is, by the way, is not performed in the Chrome, or in Android Settings.
- Open Android Settings, then "Applications".
- You find the Chrome app Tapan on it.

Try disabling JavaScript
Do not rush to write hurtful things in the comments. We do not say, JavaScript does not need it, but suggest that you try to disable it and see what happens. The solution is really controversial, and its justification is highly dependent on the specific user. You will definitely notice the increase in download speeds. If the sites that you visit will cease to work correctly, you can always turn on JavaScript again.
- Tapan on the menu icon in the upper-right corner of Chrome.
- Select the "Settings", then "Site Settings".

Make bookmark your favorite sites on the Android home screen
Even if your smartphone works with the speed of light, you are still making a minimum of two extra steps when you open your browser and start to enter a web address, or go to the website from bookmarks. Chrome allows you to create bookmarks for your favorite sites directly from the Android home screen. One tap, and right in front of you appropriate page.

Upgrade your Chrome
Do not laugh. The first tip to speed up the browser on the official Google support site - Update to the latest version, and he's certainly not without reason. We are sure there are many people who have disabled not only auto-update, but also alerts when updates are available for applications, including for Chrome. Just check how things are going with the settings you updates. This is done in the Google Play app.
- Open the Google Play app tapom menu icon in the upper left corner, or swipe from the left edge of the screen to the right, select the "Settings".
- Option "Available updates" should be included.
If desired, you can automate the receipt of the newest versions of applications through the option "Auto-update apps" at the top of the Settings menu. If you do not have much mobile traffic, choose auto-update only when connected by Wi-Fi.
