How to accelerate your graphics in Lichess?

Hello. In fast games it's very important to have very fast graphics, and smooth movements of pieces.
Here are some ways, which I use, and I would like to hear your advices too.
What I do to make piece movements smoother:
1. Reinstall chrome periodically, deleting all hystory, bookmarks, everything.
2. Turning off add-block on Lichess (it's not necessary hear).
3. In game display preferences disabled everything exept board highlights and piece destinations.
4. Closing redundant tabs.
5. Make resolution 800*600 and 16bit color instead of 32.
6. Deleting everything from autorun, closing redundant processes.
Maybe something else.
Do you know some other ways to increase the speed by shortening graphics?
Are you serious here? This is a website, not a first person shooter.

Disable piece-animation and you are ready to go. If you feel the need to improve your system speed, maybe you should think about getting new hardware.

But some people need some kind of placebo to get a good feeling, I guess :)

But overall I guess you a trolling as your name suggests ... 800x600 with 16 bit color depth :D :D :D
Some unaducated buffoon came here again. Where is the factory which creates you all?
You don't play bullet chess, so you have no idea what I'm talking about.
In hyperbullet every millisecond is important.
My speed has increased after I made what I wrote.
And I am looking for further acceleration.
But yes, my harware is not the best, but not the worst.
I will be very glad to think about new, but come on, give me YOUR money, so I will be able to allow myself a new laptop.
You all appear to be very rich, as it seems.
So, if you make such posts, promote some philanthropy here, too.
Ironically, you are the one, who bothers too much about what I play and how. Could you tell me why this is so important for you?
I am not rich at all. But still my computer can handle a chess website with ease.

Look at the best bullet/hyperbullet players on this site. They're playing in at least full HD while they're streaming in HD. And still they are incredible fast.

But yeah if you play on an old laptop over wireless LAN, speed could indeed be a factor.

I apologize if your were serious about that matter.
Wire up with Ethernet instead of WiFi, or move to France. Those are the only things that are going to drop latency.

For what it's worth, I doubt your graphics tweaks are doing anything for you. It's not an FPS, there's not a significant bottleneck at the GPU, your biggest source of latency is your Internet connection.
