Disabling the counters on the User Portal home page can increase its load time performance. To disable the counters, you must modify the `PortalHomePageDisplayMode` parameter in the `web.config` file to set the counter visibility of each section on the User Portal home page.

**Note:** You can disable the counters for multiple sections by adding up their values and using the sum as the `PortalHomePageDisplayMode` value (see the example below).

| Value | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `0` | Display all section counters according to their results (default) |
| `1` | Display a link for the **My requests in progress** section only |
| `2` | Display a link for the **My actions to do** section only |
| `4` | Display a link for the **Team to-do list** section only |
| `8` | Display a link for the **Actions to assign** section only |
| `16` | Display a link for the **My requests closed since my last visit** section only |
| `32` | Display a link for the **Follow-up of requests in progress** section only |
| `64` | Display a link for the **Follow-up of actions in progress** section only |
| `127` | Display a link for all sections (disables all counters) |

#### Example

To display links for the **My requests in progress** and **My actions to do** sections, use `3` as the value:

```auto
<add key="PortalHomePageDisplayMode" value="3" />

```
