Limit IP address and tracking- Do I need it ?

It seems that when I enable "Limit IP address and tracking" my Internet speed cuts to half !

Do I need this feature ?

Thanks.

iMac 21.5″, macOS 13.3

Thank you.

I am using an iMac. Maybe some preferences to change ?

I have 2.5GB Cyber network, My Switch limit to 1GB and the iMac (I Think) also 1GB Network card.

PS : I'm using an iPhone , iPad under the same ``Apple ID.

In the mobile devices I don't know of "Limit IP address and tracking" so from them is possible.

I don't know if "need" is the right word. Some people prefer to be tracked as little as possible. I have it enabled but, enabled or not, I still have 900+Mb/s up and down. Not sure why yours would slow.

You're welcome. To be honest since it made no difference it's not something I've looked into. Perhaps someone else will have a thought.
