Even been to a website that loads sluggish or not at all, one solutions is your MTU settings. Default it is set to 1500, but slightly adjusting this number will help significantly. This is pretty simple, but a little time consuming. This is how it is done.

Step 1: Finding your Setting


1a Use thsudois command to set a MTU setting. 
           Copy and Paste into Terminal: sudo ifconfig eth0 mtu 1492
    I started with the setting 1492.

1b Next you ping, preferably a ISP ( They do not block ICMP). My time on 1492       was slow so I steped down. My number was 1472
    Numbers you should use: 1492, 1484, 1472, 1468, 1460

Step 2: Set MTU Setting Permanent


2a Edit the following directory: /etc/network/interface
       Use this Command: sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces 
       and enter your password

2b What you need now is the following:
                    IP Address
                    Network 
                    Gateway
                    Netmask
                    mtu (your preferred setting) --My Config: mtu 1472--


Next Click Save
