Cricket Performance
eBay is out of control! Gain control of your browsing experience and help prevent problems in your Cricket Sniper program.
The instructions below will still speed up page loads on category and search results pages... It will suppress many eBay errors that interfere with your daily activities including Sniping activities. It will have no adverse affects on any other site... The only possible interference you may experience will be if you try to sort a large search return by "Distance: nearest first"... Only the closest fifty [50] items will display sorted (200 if you use advanced search).
Portions of the tweak will carry cross-site and not be restricted to the search results/browse category pages... Specifically the buffer overflow in some routers caused by omniture.com cookies will cease and the omniture.com related "SiteCatalyst Debugging" should disappear from your eBay pages.
Do the tasks below one of two ways.
- From Control Panel > Internet Options
- From Internet Explorer Menu > Tools > Internet Options
Clear The Browsers Cache:
While in the Internet Options Applet
- Scroll the drop-down menu to "Internet Options" and click.
- The Internet Options dialog box pops up with the "General" tab on top.
- Click "Delete Files".
- In the next pop-up put a check mark in the box for "Delete all off-line content" and click "OK".
- Once the cache purge is finished click "OK"
Do this every once in a while. Especially if you are using an older computer and memory is at a premium. You can limit how much crap is stored on your computer by going back in Temporary Internet Files and clicking Settings lower the amount of disk spaced used to store these files. It will speed up the amount of time searching for cached pages.
