I have several pages on my local machine that are accessed via localhost, which are terribly slow to open / load using IE8, but are very quickly used by Firefox, Opera, Chrome and Safari.
They loaded very fast using IE7.
I produced a shortened page to check - to see what causes the problem - and seriously, the simplest page can cause it! I.e:
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
Hello!
</body>
</html>
It takes about 15 seconds to open on the local host in IE8 and works instantly in all other browsers! What for? What can I do to solve this problem?
By the way, I tried this on a web server, connecting it via a URL through IE8, and it was mostly instant when opening through IE8 via a web server!I have Windows Update turned on, so it should have the latest of all.
Note. I noticed this only after the Internet connection changed, which was about 2 weeks after installing IE8. Perhaps this is a coincidence, it MAY start with installing IE8, I'm not really sure. This is definitely happening now, though.
My URL: http: //localhost/fb/starttest.htm
Help!
