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.

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.

Numbers you should use: 1492, 1484, 1472, 1468, 1460
