Question

I use a game website that uses a lot of XHR web requests. Som web requests fail. The game provider tries to blame my ISP. Is there a way to verify that my computer is capable of a lot of web requests?

Hi ArneGarvander-7224,

Troubleshoot Internet Connection

• Restart the router in use and check if there is no lose LAN/Ethernet cables plugged in.
• Test a difference between wireless and wired network connection using a ping test as mentioned above.
• If results have more frequent packet loss, report it to your ISP.
• Test the system/applications by turning off the firewall.
• If you use a third-party security software, try to remove them, clean your machine.

Enhance machine performance

• Clear/remove all temporary files from the temp folder.
• Perform disk cleanup.
• Remove/uninstall unnecessary apps or third-party security software from programs and features.
• Scan the PC using Windows Defender.
• Perform a SFC scan using a ‘command prompt’ as an administrator.
• Perform a clean boot and test the system/application.
• Boot the machine in a safe mode and test the system/application.

After you perform above troubleshooting steps, then use a Microsoft edge using InPrivate window or any other browser using 'Incognito mode', this feature doesn’t just eliminate history but also controls traffic.

Regards,
CK
