Running Opera 9.5, complex pages seem to load slowly even with a strong wifi connection. Is there a way to improve page load times?
TIA
I know this is an old post, but was there any solution to this problem?
Thanks

I am running 9.5 build 2745 and it seems ponderously slow loading web pages. (I should mention that it is set to load the full desktop versions.) It can sometimes take up to several minutes to load a large page, even on Wifi.
Any ideas on how to speed things up? It seems to get part way through the load and then pause for long periods before resuming. I'd like to stay with the desktop version of things like my homepage in yahoo.
Thanks in advance,

Yeah, there's something about my.yahoo.com that Opera takes a long time to render. Most other web pages go reasonably quickly, but my.yahoo.com just crawls. I have no idea how to fix it, though.

Actually, my.yahoo is one of my best loads! I followed a link to a boy genius review of the Storm this morning and gave up after waiting 5 minutes for it to load!!
Anyone know what that does? Its under Performance
I have seen that way back when I had mmy elfin also. I turned it on but seemed to do nothing. In 9.7 with Opera Turbo it will speed up page load times by 80%. Good news for us in the US that do not get 3G with our TD2's. I'm perfectly fine with Edge. Specially when 9.7 comes out.

Turbo mode uses a server to download and pre-compress data. In general it should be faster but sometimes you can't tell.
Currently Opera offers Opera Mini which always uses a sever to preprocess and Opera 9.5 which before Turbo mode never used servers to preprocess data.
Now Opera are giving you the option within a single software solution.
Maybe you don't want your bank details going through an intermediate server. Other times you want more speed. Now you can toggle between security and speed.
First Beta of Opera Mobile 9.7 is released. In addition there is a standalone Widget Manager. Well, both are probably buggy things since its their first version to the public.

Good question! I HATE when the OEM/Carriers burn these apps into the ROM, either preventing you from ever upgrading them, or forcing you to use or create cooked ROMs.
I personally find both the PIE and the Opera browsers that came stock with my AT&T Fuze somewhat lacking, preventing me from perusing a few of my favorite sites, and wish I could look for upgrades to them. Until I start fiddling with the actual ROM, though, I am stuck looking for alternative browsers altogether (Picsel, Opera Mini, etc.), and I find the available selections are not fitting my needs, either.
I wanted to wait a while longer before I started playing with some kitchens, but it looks like it might happen sooner than planned, at this point.
Anyone with an idea outside of cooking? Is there any way to install an upgraded Opera on top of the cr4p one that came with the device?

Hmmm, Iris Browser v1.1.9 looks pretty promising!
Hi all,
FWIW, I just DL'd the latest Iris Browser (v1.1.9) this morning, and played with it on my commute into work, and find it's really quite good. I will need to play with it a bit more to figure out what it's true strengths/weaknesses are, but from the short test I did, I'm optimistic.
Text size gets a bit small, though, and if you increase the zoom, and you need to scroll around. It would be nice if there was a way to increase the text size and still have it fit the width of the screen, but I think I can live with this. It renders pages that IE and Opera choke on, and it does so quickly. It does tabbed browsing, the circle-zoom thingie, and is g-sensor-aware, so that's cool too.
It automatically stores its cache wherever you have IE Temporary Internet Files located, so there's no need to tweak that setting if you already have IE set the way you want.
It doesn't look like it supports flash or .FLV content, yet, so that's a minus.
But it's free for non-business use, so the price is right! ;-)
If interested, you can get it here.
Hope somebody finds this info useful.

have you tried skyfire? it's free and it supports flash

Yes, I have. it appears to only support two zoom levels, and those at qvga resolution only. I have a very hard time trying to read the pages it renders.
I sure wish someone would create a browser where one could lock the text size, and then the browser would render the text within the screen size. This zooming with the same gestures as panning is driving me crazy.
Thanks for your suggestion, tho.

Any new opinions of Opera 9.7beta?
Anyone using Opera Mini? What do you think about that?
it load pages fast but scrolling though the pages is painfully slow with blank screens and zoom waiting to load for 5-6 seconds. no matter the page.
does this happen to anyone else? is there a fix or something?
Opera is incapable of loading even fandango.com properly.

Really? I just opened fandango with Opera Mobile 10 with flash support and it looks exactly like it does on my PC!
I have the same problem, skyfire very slow on my HD2 (youtube videos stops even I have a good internet connexion) and my Opera 10 dont work with Flash 3, so what can we do ? and why Opera 10 dont want to accept flash 3 support, THANKS FOR YOUR ANSWERS ...
I have no issues with Opera 10 and most flash sites, so I don't know what that's about, but I have to agree about Skyfire. Lost of people rave about it, but I've found it ugly and slow and very painful to use.
I hope it's not an issue concerning the ROM Artemis v8 i use

if you put in a zip code (U.S. only probably) to find a theater near you, i get a result page that had some bad lines accross the screen. this happens no matter when or where.
same page is displayed correctly in SkyFire, but i dont like how slow Skyfire page scrolling is.
i have the default Opera 9.7. I dont like Opera 10 because it doesnt have pinch zoom and it does the same thing.
i'm sorry, but i just think this is really lame. i mean, I have never had a problem with my previous Android phone. 3 Browsers on the HD2 and none of them can get it right.
Anyone try running a speed test with LTE on opera 11? Seems capped at 1.5 down. Every other browser I use hits 15-18 down, 5 up.
Any thoughts? Settings that I could fix this?
Doesn't opera compress the data through there servers?
So you'd be getting whatever there server speeds are

I believe thats Opera Mini, not Mobile, though not 100% sure.
Opera Mobile used to be the best browser out there, its just major lag now for me. I switched to Dolphin and love it way more. Even the stock browser is faster than Opera Mobile in my experience.
Opera Mobiile has server compression too, make sure Turbo is off in settings.

Miren is nice, doesnt handle flash as well as dolphin though.
I submitted a bug report on it to opera yesterday and also posted about it on their forum. here http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=964702&t=1302852965&page=1#comment9152762
Hopefully they will fix it. Sometimes they fix things fast, sometimes they dont. Like when they broke the forward/backward arrow buttons on the mouse for opera desktop. Used to be you could use the forward button to fast forward to the next page result on something like google. That's been broke for over a year. This is obviously a more critical bug that I think slows the browser down a bit.
