Tip #2: Use the Stop button.
When you access a website, what you are actually doing is downloading digital files. You can see how the download is progressing by looking at the status bar located in the lower left-hand corner of your web browser. If you get tired of waiting, click the Stop button to view the files that have already downloaded. Then you can decide if you want to continue. If you do, click the Reload or Refresh button.
