How to Make MySpace Load Faster
With the popularity of MySpace, many people wonder how to make the pages on this site load faster. Members have the ability to add multimedia, but too many large files will cause a web browser to freeze and, in some instances, force quit. Whether it is your own profile or others, there are steps that you can take to minimize page load times and enjoy the MySpace community with less interruption.

Make Your Profile Load Faster
-
1
Look at your page and see if you can remove any videos or pictures. Too many graphics and large file sizes can make a site load slowly on even the fastest Internet connections.

2
Limit the number of friends and/or comments that show up on your profile as these messages can contain their own large graphics. Trim down the number of friends by selecting the "My Friends" option under the "Friends" drop-down menu and then choose "Top," "Online" or "New" to display just those people in that category. To edit comments, select "My Comments" under the "Profile" tab and delete any notes you no longer want to display.

Consider redesigning your profile if you used a third-party layout generator to create your MySpace page. These sites often put their own graphics and/or marketing codes in their offerings, which can take up bandwidth. You can redo a layout by using the MySpace "Profile Editor," which is found on the "Edit Profile" page.
Make Other Pages Load Faster

Browse through MySpace using the "Lite" version. This setting strips away multimedia so that you can see simplified versions of profiles and navigate through pages faster. Click the "My Account" button and then the "Miscellaneous" link on top to see the "Default View" section. Check the "Lite View" option and then the "Save All Changes" button to complete the setting.

Clear your browser's cache to get rid of previously viewed pages and make MySpace pages load faster.

6
Quit any unnecessary applications that are still running so that MySpace does not have to compete with them.
