<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">We cannot deny that Google Chrome is one of the best browsers. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">There are many factors affecting your download speed.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">They can derive from either Chrome itself or outside factors.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Learn some interesting tips below to increase your downloads. </p>

<h2 dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify" id="tag-24"><strong>How to do Google Chrome throttle download speed</strong></h2>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">All internet browsers (Safari, Google Chrome, Opera, etc) include a basic download manager that will download files and scan them to ensure there is no malicious content.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">When compared to desktop download manager apps, a browser's download manager has fewer features. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Apart from the interface, it simply has nothing to offer. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">A failed download can be resumed in Firefox.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">But it cannot be done in Chrome. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">If you use Chrome to download files and don't want it to consume all of your bandwidth </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">You can get a little trick from the web developer tools to limit Chrome's download speed.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">This method doesn’t require you to install or download any extra programs.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Just open Google Chrome and follow the steps below.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Step 1: Open Chrome and click the 3 dots in the right corner.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Look for More tools and select Developer tools.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">A quick tip to open it is to press a combination of Ctrl + Shift + I</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify"><img alt="Open Developer tools" src="http://gospeedcheck.com/filemanager/data-images/imgs/20220912/Google-chrome-throttle-download-speed_2.jpg" style="display:block; height:570px; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; width:640px"></p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:center"><em>Open Developer tools</em></p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Step 2: Continue to click the 3 dots in the top-right corner of the DevTools menu, and select Settings.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Step 4: Set unique profiles, you need to enter the download and upload rate limit in kbps. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Don’t exceed your maximum bandwidth ( Take a download speed test - MySpeed to check your internet connection speed).</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">You’d better set rates to your liking as well as name each profile with names like Fast, slow, or others.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify"><img alt="Set value of download, upload" src="http://gospeedcheck.com/filemanager/data-images/imgs/20220912/Google-chrome-throttle-download-speed_51.jpg" style="display:block; height:312px; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; width:640px"></p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:center"><em>Set value of download, upload</em></p>

<p style="text-align:justify">Step 5: Click Add in the blue box to complete the process.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify"><img alt="Complete the process by clicking the Add button" src="http://gospeedcheck.com/filemanager/data-images/imgs/20220912/Google-chrome-throttle-download-speed_6.jpg" style="display:block; height:388px; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; width:640px"></p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:center"><em>Complete the process by clicking the Add button</em></p>

<p style="text-align:justify">That's all you need to do to limit the download speed in Chrome. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">You can return to the DevTools tab at any time to create new profiles or edit existing ones.</p>

<h3 dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify" id="tag-66"><strong>Notes</strong></h3>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Remember to exit the DevTools pane after the download has finished. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">If you do it while the process is still running, Chrome will revert to its default settings.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">You must also activate the custom download profile before beginning a download. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">If you've already started the download, you won't be able to change the download profile.</p>

<h3 dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify" id="tag-72"><strong>How to disable Network Throttling Profile?</strong></h3>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">In Chrome, you can also disable the download speed limit. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">It is simple to turn off the network throttling profile. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">It is the same procedure we used to limit it. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Press F12 once more, and in the Network menu, in the second row of options, click on the button below "Audits" and change it back to Online. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">By closing the newly opened tab, you can also disable the network throttling profile.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Although some of these may not work for you, they are worth a shot if it means squeezing the last drops of bandwidth out of your system.</p>

<h3 dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify" id="tag-88"><strong>Update the latest version of Chrome</strong></h3>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Chrome upgrades can fix hidden problems and improve performance. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">To prevent experiencing the same issue in the future, enable auto-updates.</p>

<h3 dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify" id="tag-106"><strong>Clearing browsing data</strong></h3>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">If temporary files collect in the browser, they might create a glitch in the data download process. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">As a result, deleting cookies and cache may aid in the download speed.</p>

<ul>
<li dir="ltr">
	<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Hold down the CTRL and H keys at the same time.</p>
	</li>
</ul>

<h3 dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify" id="tag-135">While downloading files, close any tabs that aren't in use</h3>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">When you have a lot of tabs open and are downloading files, Chrome has extremely few resources to work with. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">As a result, a shortage of RAM resources might cause the download process to lag.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Chrome's Task Manager lets you see which programs are using the most network resources on your browser.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Step 1: Select the three vertical dots in the top-right corner, click More tools and you will see the Task Manager, click it.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">The easiest way is to press Shift + ESC at the same time.</p>

<p style="text-align:center">Choose a process and end it if you don’t use it</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">Close all the processes that use the most network resources to check if Chrome download performance improves. </p>

<h3 dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify" id="tag-155"><strong>Change DNS Servers</strong></h3>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">The DNS server might not be as quick as it should be, depending on how trustworthy your ISP is. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">It implies that your internet speed may be higher than it is now. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">You can speed up Google Chrome download by changing DNS servers.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">It's advisable to utilize the Google Public DNS IP addresses (IPv4) given below to achieve the greatest internet connection:</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">8.8.8.8 (preferred DNS)</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">8.8.4.4 (alternative DNS)</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Chrome also allows you to switch from your ISP's DNS servers to Google Public DNS without impacting your whole internet connection or device. Follow these steps to do so:</p>
