14 Hacks to Speed Up Your Amazon Fire TV Stick

Your Amazon Fire TV stick turns into a sluggish mess over time, from all those apps in background junk.

But AOL dropped 14 easy hacks to whip it.

Back into shape without dropping cash on a new one.

Start with the basics.

A quick restart clears the lag from too many open apps and keeping software updated delivers that fresh out the box speed.

Meanwhile, dig into settings to shut off data tracking and notifications, which hog resources and slow everything down.

Pair back your app collection too, since cramming too many eat storage and RAM and regularly clear caches on the heavy users to free up space fast.

These tweaks hit home for folks tired of buffering during binge sessions or gains freezing up, saving you from frustration and extra bills.

Force stop running apps, disable auto play for ads, and even turn off unused stuff like Amazon photos to keep things responsive.

On the hardware side, avoid overheating by plugging into a side HDMI port, use the official power adapter instead of TV USB for steady juice and grab.

An Ethernet adapter if Wi-Fi is the culprit behind slow streams.

Ditch data monitoring if your connections capped.

Give these a spin in order, and if nothing clicks, a factory reset brings it all back to factory fresh.

Keeping your setup lit without the upgrade.
