Modern web browsers maintain persistent TCP connection sockets and internal DNS caches. When these socket pools become corrupted or overwhelmed with thousands of stale session cookies, speed tests and page loads appear sluggish despite high raw broadband speeds.
In Chrome or Edge, navigate to chrome://net-internals/#sockets and click "Flush socket pools" to instantly reset all network handles.
