Extremely slow loading a wiki page on localhost?

Howdy,
I've set up a wiki on my localhost using mediawiki (php module in Apache.)
Safari is extremely (~15mins?) slow loading the main page, but I have no trouble loading this page in <1 sec using either Firefox or IE. I have tried the usual cleanups of Safari support files (trashing plist, cleaning up fonts, clearing history/cache, resetting Safari completely, etc.). Strangely, the file will eventually load if I let it go for more than 15 minutes. Any refresh or 'back' actions cause a new wait time to load.
I don't seem to have any problems with other pages loading from my localhost server and I don't have any trouble loading other mediawiki pages on other servers.
Any suggestions?
LL

One more interesting piece of datum:
I also experience this very long delay when I try to load this same wiki page from Safari on a powerbook on the local network.
However, again Firefox has no problem with the same page.

  • Safari is Extremely slow loading pages, like Hotmail, eBay, CNN,

    For the past few days, Safari has been extremely slow loading most all pages, especially Hotmail, eBay, CNN, etc. Apple support hasn't been able to help. Hve done all the normal stuff, Reset Safari, restarted, etc.... eventually reloaded Leopard, with all updates, 10.5.2. Still slow uploading pages. Have checked network with speedtest.net, Download 5019 kb/s, Upload 363 kb/s. Was told by everyone I asked, these were good speeds, "normal." But it takes 20 seconds - 60 seconds sometime to upload a page. Have watched "activity monitor" under network, "data sent" goes out fast, data received seems to come back but then stalls. I'm not sure of what numbers I should be getting on the return. Any suggestions????

    READ my post, March 17, for answers. I read other post, March 15-08, by Toshinmac and March 17-08 post by Rudolf, answered by Hawaiian Starman and Klaus1. My problem decribed there, with Time-Warner/Roadrunner DNS settings. Followed advice... Problem Solved! Thanks to ALL for their input!!!! A Beachbum!

  • How to fix extremely slow printing from web pages with latest updates (iMac) & HP Office jet printer. (It was not a problem with earlier versions of Firefox & same computer & printer.)

    The latest two updates of Mozilla Firefox are not useful for me because of extremely slow printing of web pages. It was never a problem before. Same iMac and HP officejet printer. How can I either fix it, or revert to an earlier version of the browser (without losing all my bookmarks) which didn't cause this problem?

    Try scanning from your Mac.  Use Image Capture app in your Applications folder.
    Click once on the scanner on the left side, then click on Show Details along the bottom.  Along the right side you will see LOTS of options for scanning and saving.
    Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

  • Safari is extremely slow loading web pages, i have to latest software, no updating needed

    Safari is really slow loading internet pages and uploading images. I have the latest software update. I just purchased this mac book pro within the last 3 months..just frustrating that it's already this slow so soon....Any suggestions? I called tech support and nothing they walked me through helped. He was going to reinstall everything but I wanted to wait and see if there was anything else I could possible do before considering I just got this notebook, I hate to reinstall everything. It seems like there should be a simpler solution...

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including your login items.
    Launch the application(s) and test. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)

  • Slow Load of my pages in dashboard

    A few days ago I'm looking that my pages of dashboards loads slower. I think one reason is because I have create a page that has 80 sections. Anyway what I see is that once the page loaded, navigation in this page is fast (changing prompts) but when I log off and come back in Oracle BI, the first load to be slow again. Is there a way to increase load speed?
    Which are the reasons that my pages load more slower than before??
    Thank you very much!

    80 Sections.. I think it is taking time to load the dashboard page because of Querying the Database for all those sections..
    For example, if you are putting a Department prompt.. BI will issue a Query to Database to load that prompt..
    To tune it, upon loading the page - go to Manage Sessions and view what are all sessions opened related to that page. Thereby try to tune them, if possible.
    Generally, it should happen only once if you are not bypassing Caching Mechanism.

  • Quicktime audio files extremely slow loading on webpage

    I have loaded four audio files onto one page of my website that I created using iWeb. This page is incredibly slow loading and just won't play on many people's computers (mac and pc alike) (including mine!).
    Is there something I can use for audio files besides the quicktime player? Is there a way to have the page load faster?
    Thanks in advance.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Yes. You can use a flash player like the examples on this demo page: Audio Players.
    More player types and even a jutebox player is explained and demoed on Roddy's iWeb for Musicians sitge on this page:Music Players.

  • Slow loading of photo pages ~~ reason why ~~

    I've been looking around some of the threads on this problem. And here is the horror story I have found.
    When you load a photo page it not only downloads the thumbnails but also the full size image as well!! So the web page loads all the thumbnails and all the larger copies, come on Apple!
    Safari activity monitor window for the photo page load.
    http://web.mac.com/molestrangler/.../CIMG2846.jpg
    http://web.mac.com/molestrangler/.../CIMG2846_1.jpg
    The thumbnail 'CMI2846_1.jpg' is only 14.8 kb but 'CIMG2846.jpg' is a massive 115 kb. The total kb of all my thumbnails is 295.3 kb, now add the total of the full size images of 2302 kb.
    Now these larger images should come down after all the thumbnails have loaded and the main page has been built. I cannot say this is a good approach because if you click on a thumbnail before all the larger images are downloaded the larger image does not appear if not downloaded though the photo page cuz it's not in the Safari cache...doh!!!
    When you click on an image it not only loads the image you want to see but the image before and after for the slideshow. But you clicked on an image and not the slide show button...doh!!
    It also loads the slideshow.js and transitions.js, this should only happen when you click on the slideshow button...doh!! I assume this relies on all the images being in the Safari cache, if not then the slideshow is likely to fail.

    It sounds as though you may have quite a few photos stored in your phone and the devices 32 Mega Bytes of RAM is struggling to cope. I would consider transferring some pictures to a PC for safe storage to give the phone a bit of breathing space.

  • Slow load of first page

    I have recently noticed that it seems to take a long time for safari to load the first page when it starts up. I think it started ever since I ran that huge java updater. It is really annoying because it is just that first page. After that everything is speedy like always. I also noticed that with Firefox this does not occur. Firefox loads its first page in about 3 seconds where Safari takes almost a minute. If I quit an dstart Safari again it always takes a long time for that first page. I have deleted preferences and reparied permissions and a lot of the basic things, but Safari is still taking a long time just with that first webpage that it loads. Anyone else experiencing this?
    Thanks

    Hello Joshua,
    Click on the Finder Icon in the Dock,
    Click on ~/Library/Caches/Safari cache
    click on Safari cache to highlight, & Get info,
    using the ⌘, key along with the "g" + "i" keys
    What is the size of the Safari cache folder?
    If it is more then 2-3 MB's ...
    Quit Safari, drag the Safari Cache folder to the trash
    * do not empty the trash, unless you know this works for you,]
    Launch Safari does it load more quickly?
    Please post back.

  • Extremely Slow Loading Home Pages At Start-Up

    I'm running Vista and recently upgraded from Firefox 3.6.12 to Firefox 7.0.1. Since then my home pages take WAY too long to load at start-up, even after disabling AVG add-ons. Tried uninstallilng, rebooting, reinstalling, rebooting -- same problem. Didn't have the problem using IE8, so concluded the problem was with Firefox 7.0.1. Uninstalled 7.0.1 and went back to 3.6.12 -- problem resolved. I'd like to run the latest version. Any idea what the problem was?

    The default of the pref network.http.max-connections has been increased from 30 to 256 in Firefox 6+ versions.
    Try to decrease the value of the pref <b>network.http.max-connections</b> from 256 to 30 as used in Firefox 3 versions.

  • Airpot Extreme SLOW LOADING

    I recently upgraded to an Airport Extreme from a LinkSys BEFSR41. The LinkSys router was working great, I just wanted to go wireless. However, with the new router, even connected via Ethernet cable, it can take 30-45 seconds to load webpages, even after loading for the first time, closing Safari, and loading again. The LinkSys router was near instantaneous.
    I installed the software for the Airport Extreme, updated everything I could find and have also reset Safari. I even checked my speed via SpeedTest.net and that's fine... just can't seem to load anything. I even called Apple Support and had a tech check everything with me and she said everything was fine.
    This is driving me crazy! Any ideas?

    KayBeeStew wrote:
    I understand the Extreme can run *two speeds at once* but someone said something about the unit working at the speed of the slowest equipment on the network.
    The "two speeds" of the new Extreme refer to its ability to run simultaneous 802.11g and 802.11n wireless networks. Wired network performance is completely unrelated to this characteristic.
    The comment regarding "working at the speed of the slowest equipment on the network" applied to the Extreme's predecessor; the single-band model. In that case, all your equipment had to operate in 802.11n mode to realize the highest possible performance, if any equipment was 801.11g only, the entire network would revert to that slower protocol.
    In any event, since your wired performance is also suffering, the statement is a red herring for you. Also, I believe the lengthy delay involved with loading a page you describe would not be diagnostic in your case. Network speed tests would also show consistently slower throughput, and you said that's not the case. DNS problems would definitely cause what you describe but Duane already covered that (here it is for your reference):
    Usually this indicates that the DNS server is overloaded or having problems. You can try using opendns. In your Network preference pane, in the DNS field, enter the values 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220.
    By all means use OpenDNS!!!
    Also be sure to reset your modem every time you change what's directly connected to it. Every time. Failure to do that will also cause what you're describing. Make it a habit.
    If there are old cables could the Extreme drop down in speed?
    Damaged or otherwise compromised cables can cause wired performance to be less than optimal, but since they worked fine with your Linksys router I doubt this is your problem.
    I just hate to invest in new cables if that's not the issue.
    It would be nice to try other cables; you don't have to pay retail prices - check Craigslist or eBay, just make sure they specifically say "Category 5e" or "gigabit Ethernet" rated. Cables are incredibly cheap.
    From what you describe, I'd say your Airport Extreme is looking like the prime suspect. Perhaps I should say "hardware of interest" to avoid accusations of slander. Take it back to Apple, if a new one does the same thing it's back to head-scratching time.
    Never heard of a *faulty Airport* causing this problem, hopefully it's a rare fault.

  • About 50% of the time Firefox is extremely slow loading any google scripts/search, all other scripts/search load quickly. Been happening for about a month now.

    A month or so ago FF starting taking forever to load any page using Google scripts, also Google search. Not always, about half the time, the other half the time FF works fine. Can go on and off like this three or four times a day. No discernible pattern. Pages without Google scripts and other search engines (Bing, Yahoo) always load fine with FF, only Google doesn't. Even while FF is slooowwwly loading Google scripts/searches, Chrome and IE load the same scripts and searches quickly with no problems. WTF?

    I had this problem, I checked my add-ons one by one as suggested and it was the Avast online security add-on slowing me down on Google. Disabled it and FF works ok.
    No idea why the avast add-on would do that? Still using the full version of avast but not the add-on.

  • Slow Loading On iWeb Pages - Really in Need of Help! (Thanks!!) :o)

    Hi Everyone!
    I have been a lurker here, learning from reading other's posts. I am in serious need of help, as I have been struggling with this issue for over a week and I can't move forward to other things until I get it resolved...
    Here's what's up: I am creating a single-page website as a landing page for a product I offer. (These are very common now in product marketing). The page is here: http://www.howtogetamazingrelationships.com.
    The page that is there is about the 4th iteration of the page in the quest for a faster-loading page. Everytime I test it - no matter what I do - it ends up being about a 24 second load time. Here's a sample test for review: http://tools.pingdom.com/?url=howtogetamazingrelationships.com&treeview=0&column =objectID&order=1&type=0&save=true
    Here are the things I have done to try to speed this baby up:
    1. Took my youtube video off auto-play.
    2. Optimized the site using Web Site Maestro. 27% decrease in size; no load time difference.
    3. Took out shapes and graphics.
    4. Rebuilt the site on a blank template - now it is actually a little worse!
    5. Took out the website.js file - totally messed things up.
    6. Eliminated the navigation.
    Nothing is even showing the least bit of difference in speed...and it is driving me crazy.
    Here's the thing - I have also contacted Web Site Maestro's support for help, and they said that the problem was the size of the site and the length of the page. But here's the thing - I checked the load speed of a page that is about double my page size and length, and it loads in like 4 seconds: http://tools.pingdom.com/?url=http://www.wealthbeyondreason.com/page2.php&treevi ew=0&column=objectID&order=1&type=0&save=true
    Anyone have help/advice for me? I am so frustrated with this, as the iWeb is crazy-easy to build, but I can't have a simple one-page product page load that slow. No one is going to stay around for 24 seconds!
    I just am at the end up my rope and don't know anything else to do. I really don't want to rebuild the site again and still not see results, so any help would be hugely appreciated.
    Thanks so much in advance, and I hope you are all having a beautiful day -
    :o) Tara

    Okay, more info -
    I checked my site on a different web analyzer, and it does seem to be loading quickly - 15.66 seconds for a 56 k, but only 3.6 for T1. So that is good -
    One thing I noticed in the recommendations is that there are 6 scripts that are running, that can slow things down. I don't really know how to change that (I am pretty web-savvy, but far from a developer) Here's what they recommended on the page -
    Analysis and Recommendations from webanalyzer.com:
    TOTAL_OBJECTS - Caution. You have 18 total objects on this page. From 12 to 20 objects per page, the latency due to object overhead makes up from 75% to 80% of the delay of the average web page. See Figure II-3: Relative distribution of latency components showing that object overhead dominates web page latency in Website Optimization Secrets for more details. Consider reducing, eliminating, and combining external objects (graphics, CSS, JavaScript, iFrames and XHTML) to reduce the total number of objects, and thus separate HTTP requests. Consider using CSS sprites to help consolidate decorative images.
    TOTAL_IMAGES - Caution. You have a moderate amount of images on this page (10 ). Consider using fewer images on the site or try reusing the same image in multiple pages to take advantage of caching. Using CSS techniques such as colored backgrounds, borders, or spacing instead of graphic techniques can help reduce HTTP requests.
    TOTAL_SCRIPT - Warning! The total number of external script files on this page is 6 , consider reducing this to a more reasonable number. Combine, refactor, and minify to optimize your JavaScript files. Ideally you should have one (or even embed scripts for high-traffic pages) on your pages. Consider suturing JavaScript files together at the server to minimize HTTP requests. Placing external JavaScript files at the bottom of your BODY, and CSS files in the HEAD enables progressive display in XHTML web pages.
    HTML_SIZE - Caution. The total size of this HTML file is 60492 bytes, which is above 50K but below 100K. With 50K of images and multimedia this means that your page will load in about 20 seconds. Consider optimizing your HTML and eliminating unnecessary features. To give your users feedback, consider layering your page or using positioning to display useful content within the first two seconds.

  • Slow load of web pages

    I've noticed a slowing in the loading of my home page and others. Any quick fixes like a clean up or such?

    Mine doesn't load right away. It starts with http:// and then seem to get hung up for longer than it used to or the whole url is highlighted but it hangs again. It seems to help to either click inside the address or to hit return when it hangs with the whole url highlighted. It started doing this when I updated from 10.4.4 to 10.4.8, Tiger.
    Could it be the isp or the dsl provider?

  • Safari - slow loading on web pages -

    Strange: If I click on a web page, Safari begins to load the page (from the status indicator) but then doesn't finish. If I simply reload the page,...boom, the page comes up lightning fast.
    (this happens, maybe 10% of the time)
    Why is this? And what can I do about it?
    Thanks.

    If Safari is getting very slow:
    Adding Open DNS codes to your Network Preferences, should give good results in terms of speed-up as well as added security:
    If you are using a single computer: Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu, and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' add the following two numbers:
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    (You can also enter them if you click on Advanced and then DNS)
    Sometimes reversing the order of the DNS numbers can be beneficial in cases where there is a long delay before web pages start to load, and then suddenly load at normal speed:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2296
    If your computer is part of a network: please refer to this page: http://www.opendns.com/start/bestpractices/#yournetwork and follow the advice given.
    You could also try these codes as well: 4.2.2.1 & 4.2.2.2
    If you use a Router, make sure it has the latest firmware installed.
    One reason for a slowness in page loading may be the 'DNS Pre-fetching' feature of Safari 5.x
    This is described here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3408?viewlocale=en_US
    If Safari seems to hang for ages:
    If you have a lot of tabs open and/or a lot of pages running Flash, Safari can sometimes 'hang', requiring a restart of Safari. This can often be inconvenient, and as it is rarely Safari itself that is hanging but merely one of its plug-ins, usually Flash, there is a way using Terminal to restart the plug-ins (without restarting Safari and losing your tabs) by quitting the WebPluginHost process:
    Open the Terminal from the Utilities folder in /Applications and type
    killall -9 WebKitPluginHost
    Note that this command kills all Safari plug-ins, not just Flash. All plug-ins should start back up when you reload the page.
    Then go back to Safari and refresh any pages that were using the Flash plug-in. This also fixes the Beachball of Death. Try this whenever Safari gets slow or freezes. The latest versions of Flash 10.1 appear to have improved the situation somewhat, but haven't completed eliminated it.
