Are you feeling frustrated at the time it is taking for a page to load? Wondering just what you can do to finish the page loading and move on to the next page?

It’s a feeling that I’m suffering all too often. There are a few sites in particular that seem bad, probably because these are locking out the logon buttons until the entire page is loaded.

But I have noticed what is stopping these pages from completing their loading. Quite simply put, it is the all encompassing Google. There seems to be an issue with Analytics that will sometimes make a page take forever to load.

If you can, take a look at what your browser is waiting for (some display this information). Quite probably it is saying “Waiting for google.com”. I’m not sure why as this is different to the google analytics address that serves the code, but this is what is holding us up.

For me the answer was simple. Log on to the router and block all access to google.com. As soon as I do that (and I’ve tried it several times) the pages open instantly. There’s only one downside – if the .com version is your default browser you will need to swap to another one. But if it speeds up your browsing, isn’t that better?
