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 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.

  • 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.

  • Long time to load a first page, get "the connection has timed out" frequently.

    Frequently takes a long time to get to first page. Even a "speed test" to check my DSL connection. Usually can get to "google.com" quickly but it did come up slow today (just a test for a simple page).
    I have a wireless N router with it's own Firewall (which I didn't want) and I think I've turned it off. Symantec firewall, don't think WinXP firewall is on.
    Tried refresh of Adobe Flash Player per suggestion in this forum, no help.
    Would like to have a tool to see how long each step of getting to the web takes so I can see if there's a bottleneck.
    Occasionally "try again" button works on the "connection has timed out" message.
    My PC is 6 yr old. xp-home, lots of ram, HDD available. Run Symantec AV/MBAM frequently. Ran Housecall and Dr. Web- no problems.
    Talked to my DSL provider and Symantec in depth. Similar lethargy when I get IE running but not as frequent as under FF. Measured my DSL speed - 5MB as promised.
    When the lag occurs, Task Manager does not show FF taking a lot of processor time.
    Have done the things suggested in FAQ to help with performance.
    Also going to bleepingcomputer.com to see if there are suggestions there.
    I'm hoping someone has experienced an analog to this and has a suggestion to diagnose and solve. Thanks - Mike.

    Here's your sign! This is my problem and its solution. Let me know if someone needs help to interpret.
    If you frequently get "connection timed out", go to your ISP and get Manual DNS addresses. Then beat them till they put a real fix on their system.
    Problem is in the DNS server service provided by my DSL provider, Bell South/AT&T. Result of a poor performing DNS is that one can't get thru to the selected site.
    If you do a web search +dsl +"time out" you will see the history with Windstream. THEY finally issues a system-wide fix which, it appears, flattened the issue. Then add +AT&T to see that experience. I did not read it all thru, I'm wasted chasing this problem. I don't give AT&T ANY credit for customer service or heading off problems for their customers on this one.
    AT&T support offers me:
    ==================================== start quote.
    How do I check and update my DNS settings, if my DNS settings are not "server assigned"?
    When you visit a Web site, your browser sends the site's alphabetic domain name to a DNS server. The DNS server translates the domain into a numeric IP address, then responds to your computer with the Internet location of the Web site. Incorrect DNS settings on your computer can disrupt this information flow and cause your Internet browsing to slow down or fail.
    If you have trouble browsing the Internet, check your DNS settings. You likely have your DNS settings as "server-assigned." This allows DNS information to be automatically sent to your computer, which may improve your browsing experience. However, you may need to have your DNS settings manually entered
    Note: If you are using a router to connect to your Internet service, check with your manufacturer's web site for instructions on updating your DNS settings with the following information:
    Primary DNS: 68.94.156.1
    Secondary DNS: 68.94.157.1
    1. Click the Start button and select Control Panel from the menu.
    2. Select Network and Internet Connections.
    3. Double-click the Network Connections icon at the lower right.
    4. Under the LAN or High-Speed Internet section, right-click the Local Area Connection icon and select Properties.
    5. From the "Components checked are used by this connection" list, select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), then click the Properties button.
    6. Read the current DNS setting on the lower half of the TCP/IP properties screen. If the radio button Obtain DNS server address automatically is selected, you do not need to update your DNS settings. Otherwise, please continue.
    7. Input the new Preferred DNS server of 68.94.156.1 and the Alternate DNS server of 68.94.157.1.
    8. Click OK.
    9. Return to the Network Connections screen. If you have a DSL Connection icon in the Broadband section, proceed to next step otherwise you have completed updating your DNS settings.
    10. Under the Broadband section, right-click the DSL Connection icon and select Properties.
    11. Select the Networking tab.
    12. From the "This connection uses the following items" list, select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click the Properties button.
    13. Read the current DNS setting on the lower half of the TCP/IP properties screen. If the radio button Obtain DNS server address automatically is selected you do not need to up date your DNS settings. Otherwise, please continue.
    14. Input the new Preferred DNS server of 68.94.156.1 and the Alternate DNS server of 68.94.157.1.
    15. Click OK.
    ================================= end quote.
    So it appears I can't put screen shots in here. Well I hope you get the gist.
    In fact this is a bit hosed up.
    It says if you user "automatic dns" you're OK, that's opposite of my experience.
    I changed to the specified DNS addresses and things seem 99.9% fixed.
    I also changed my Router (wireless) settings.
    If there's a survey of my experience here I'll take it.

  • Smart Setup problem, he never load the first page

    Hello,
    I got a EA6400 this week end.
    the second one, the first one is on my mother house. And everything works good.
    But with this one i got a issue .
    I try to connect to the router with wifi ,cable,smartphone
    Also try with firefox safari and chrome.
    i try by the ip and by myrouter.local.
    Between all this try, i reset the router by pressing the red bouton between 10 sec and restart the router after.
    ach try, the first page load  but never skip the "loading page" i wait for like 10 minute each time 
    But the page never load something. i can't press any "next" ou "back" button.
    Any ideas ? 

    Try a different PC to see if it can access the web page. 
    PC 3rd Party Security Software Configurations
    Turn off all anti virus and firewall programs on PC while testing. 3rd party firewalls are not generally needed when using routers as they are effective on blocking malicious inbound traffic.
    PC Web Browser Configurations
    If IE 8, 9, 10 or 11, set compatibility mode and test again.
    You may have a faulty unit and may need to be replaced...

  • When looking for images on Google Images why does Firefox only load the first page?

    For over a month now whenever I've gone to Google Images only the first page of pictures is shown, the others are just gray boxes or nothing at all. I've cleared my cache and cookies, but don't know what else I can try.

    Does it help if you disable "Google Instant" in the Google Search settings?
    You can click the Gear icon (top right) to open the Google Settings page

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Regular crashes and very slow loading of certain pages

    Basically, Firefox closes itself (crahes) VERY regularly; often after turning on the browser for less than a minute.
    Accessing my account information on play.com is next to impossible, due to a MASSIVE increase in loading times. Same for accessing any of my email accounts. Since this loading time is so large (anywhere from 1-10 minutes), it almost always crashes before the page loads.
    I have been using Firefox regularly ever since January and have NEVER had any problems or difficulties with the browser. Problems only began occuring since Friday 6th/Saturday 7th September, 2010.
    Also, these increased loading times are similarly affecting my other browsers, including Safari and Internet Explorer. If I try and download a new browser I get a message explaining how the setup has failed every time.

  • Slow Loading of Internet Pages

    I am new to Mac's. Just bout my MacBook Pro on Monday. So, far I like it a lot, but it seems to take forever for internet pages to load.
    I checked my download and upload speeds on DSLreports.com and it said I had 5 meg and .75 meg, respectively.
    Why does it take so long to load?
    Thanks,
    Alina

    Don't know, but suggest running Software Update under System Preferences, installing all updates, and repeating until none show up. Once that's done, launch Disk Utility in /Applications/Utilities/, select the boot volume, and repair permissions. Restart and see if that fixes things. BTW, meg what? bits or bytes? Do note that you'll get better results checking at http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/ than at DSL reports.

  • Slow loading of web pages in Safari

    Despite having excellent wireless download speed, recently many, but not all web pages have been downloading very slowly, e.g., my att home page, Google, FB, etc. I have reset Safari and removed all cookies, but nothing seems to help.  The problem is only with Safari on my MacBook. It works fine on my iPad And iPhone.  Any ideas what might be wrong?

    Hi PaulinCT,
    If you have issues with Safari performing slowly you may want to remove any 3rd party software such as plug-ins or extensions. See this article for instructions -
