JSP/HTML page loading / rendering is taking too much time in Internet Explorer (IE)

JSP/HTML page loading / rendering is taking too much time in Internet Explorer (IE).

Same JSP/HTML page is loaded/rendered in Firefox very fastly.

IE is taking 4 mins to load a JSP/HTML page and same page is loaded in Firefox in 1 mins 20 seconds.

It's really surprise to me.

What is the reason for taking too much time in Internet Explorer (IE) for page loading / rendering ?

How to design a web page, which will load/render faster in IE ?

MSIE is known to have a slow table renderer. But a loading time of over 1 minute is insane. Are you displaying a HTML table with a zilliion of records? Consider pagination. Strive to a max page loading time of 5 seconds, preferably less than 3 seconds. Your current problem is not MSIE.

Update as per the comments: Don't use client side pagination. Use server side pagination. If necessary with help of Ajax. It will solve your problem of unnecessarily hauling the entire table data into browser's memory and causing slow load and render time and bad user experience.

And once again, MSIE has just an extremely poor performing table renderer and JS engine. Firefox is simply the better browser. There's no why, that's a fact.
