Performance slow using url BufferedReader

Question

I'm reading the contents of a url using BufferedReader, it takes a while to read the url into my application, what could be done to speed it up. Here's the code.
DiscovererUrl = https://url_to_site
URL myurl = new URL(DiscovererUrl);
HttpURLConnection con = (HttpURLConnection)myurl.openConnection();
InputStream ins = con.getInputStream();
InputStreamReader isr=new InputStreamReader(ins);
BufferedReader in =new BufferedReader(isr);
StringBuffer inputLine=null;
StringBuffer entirehtml=new StringBuffer();
String entirehtmlafter = "";
StringBuffer str = null;
StringBuffer str2 = null;
try{
while ((inputLine = new StringBuffer(in.readLine())) != null)
entirehtml.append(inputLine);
catch (NullPointerException npe){}
in.close();
isr.close();
ins.close();
con.disconnect();

Answer 1

it takes a while to read the url into my applicationWhat is 'a while'? Maybe it's because the site is not responding fast anyway.
Don't forget that with SSL it's slower.
By the way, you don't need to instantiate a StringBuffer for each line read:
while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null)
    entirehtml.append(inputLine);
