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.

  • 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 -
    Safari: Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Slow loading specific web pages

    I noticed that my safari loads only specific websites only example apple related websits and gmail but not the rest like hotmail..etc. So i am wondering is the problem lies in the safari or might be someother problem?

    Hello again Terence,
    Disk Utility...
    Hard Drive > Applications > Utilities > Disk Utilities.
    Select the uppermost disk icon
    Select " first aid "
    Select " repair permissions "
    Re start the computer when its finished running. Some messages can be safely ignored. If you see -
    "... Repairing permissions for “Macintosh HD”
    Determining correct file permissions.
    We are using special permissions for the file or directory ./Library/Widgets. New permissions are 16877
    We are using special permissions for the file or directory ./usr/lib/php/build/acinclude.m4. New permissions are 33060.... "
    Thats OK and can be ignored.
    Resetting....
    Open Safari. Where it says Safari in the top menu - click on it. Scroll down until you see the words; Reset Safari
    Click on that.
    Regards

  • Safari Slow to Load Certain Web Pages

    Has anyone found a fix for the web pages that get "stuck"

    This has been an ongoing problem in Safari v2.0x with OS X v10.4. However, I would describe this as "Safari stalls when loading Web pages." It seems like it may happen on certain pages, but it has been my experience that this can happen on any Web page at any give time: In fact, it just happened when I tried to load the Safari Discussions forum page!
    - Safari attempts to load a Web page
    - Progress bar in address field stalls at mid-point or later
    - Web page never finishes loading but sometimes, if you're patient, it takes a minute or more to load, but eventually finishes
    - More often, cancelling the page load (Command/Period) and then immediately hitting Command/R (or selecting Reload Page from the View menu) usually loads the page immediately!
    Once, I thought it might be favicons, but I had just reset that folder to Read Only. Also, I just used Font Book to Resolve Duplicate Fonts before seeing it happen again. This is pretty frustrating, and never seems to get better.

  • Hy does loading a web page in Firefox causes my external hard disk to spin up?

    On OSX 10.6 and 10.7, Firefox will not load a web page unless my external hard disk spins up.
    My thought is that Firefox is trying to cache or pre-fetch something, but why is it doing it on my external backup drive?
    No other browser does this. Only Firefox. It's annoying because the backup drive is slow, so I have to wait for it to wake up, spin up, do whatever it needs to do, and THEN Firefox becomes usable again.

    Maybe Firefox is searching for fonts.
    Try to move all User fonts in Font Book to Computer fonts.
    # Launch Font Book (/Applications/Utilities/)
    # Open Font Book > Preferences
    # Deselect: "Automatic Font Activation"
    # Set the "Default Install Location" for fonts to "Computer"
    # Select all User fonts
    # Move the selected User fonts to Computer fonts
    # Remove all duplicate fonts in Computer fonts

  • Why does it take so long to load a web page on my iPad

    Why does it take so long to load a web page on my new ipad wifi

    This is probably not a problem with the iPad, but with the wi-fi. If your internet connection and/or wi-fi speeds are slow, then loading web pages will be slow. If I was you, I would research different kinds of wireless routers to find the fastest one in your price range, and also research different kinds of modems.

  • Windows Server 2008 R2 - Won't load certain web pages - Happens in all browers - Won't do windows updates

    This server (Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard with SP1) is used to host thin clients as well as RDP sessions.  One morning the office is fine, they come back from lunch and all of the sudden they can't load certain web pages, such as adobe.com
    and pandora.com to name a couple.  This was roughly 3 days ago. 
    1.)  I have tried machines that are not connected to this server (not thin client or RDP), but are on the same network, they can load up any web page fine with no issues.
    2.) On the server I have tried Opera, Chrome, IE and Firefox, all have the same exact problem.
    3.) Tried different DNS servers just to be sure, even though it only effects the server and no one else.
    Based on these facts I know that it is something wrong with the server, but not tied to a specific brower.  In all browsers when you load up a page in question it just sits there with a blank screen trying to load, it never generates any errors. 
    The Event Viewer is also clean, no errors.  So with no errors I have had trouble trying to find a starting place for this.  Things I have tried:
    1.) ipconfig /flushdns to try and clear out any DNS issues
    2.) Changing the DNS servers for the server to 8.8.8.8 and 4.2.2.2
    3.) Scanning for Viruses and Malware/Spyware
    4.) Checking proxy settings on the server
    5.) Updating and then removing Adobe Flash (thought it was tied to flash at first).  Problem persists even with no flash player installed.
    6.) Completed a failed update of .net, no effect
    7.) Loading up browsers in debug mode to try and find anything in the site code that I could relate between failed sites.  I found nothing I could identify
    Of all issues to finally be stumped on this seems like an easy one, but I can't even begin to come up with an idea at this point. 
    I have tried to lay out all of the facts that I know as plainly as I can.  I am hoping that someone has seen this before as this issue is effecting a number of differnt users and keeping them from doing portions of their job.
    Help is most appreciated, thank you!

    I was able to figure out a solution.
    CAUSE:
    It appears that the Internet isn’t fully up to date and ready to use EDns -- which is enabled on Windows Server 2008 R2 by default. The solution for this is to disable Edns. Note that this isn’t
    a problem for most Windows Server 2008 R2 member servers.  It’s only a problem for DNS *servers* that do recursive lookups.  i.e. likely only your domain controller will be affected if that is where your DNS Server role exists.
    SOLUTION:
    To disable EDns, you can do it from the command prompt, or by editing the registry.
    Create a DWORD called EnableEDNSProbes and set to 0 in HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\DNS\Parameters
    Restart the DNS Server service for it to take effect.

  • 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.

  • Firefox will not load any web pages

    Firefox will not load any web pages. I have tried every suggestion on the support page, deleted the program and reinstalled it 4 times, and ran a malware scan. None of these have solved the problem.

    Hi JessN37,
    We've got a whole [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/web-pages-dont-load troubleshooting section on failure to load pages]. Have you looked through any of that information? There is a ton of useful stuff there.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • Cut and paste operation in Hyperion Planning is slower than normal web page

    We understand the web form under Hyperion Planning has many useful functions built-in but we also encountered some user complains that the operation inside the web form is relatively slower than normal web page. When user cut and paste 20 to 50 cells content, they need to wait 1 to 5 seconds on the "copy" function.
    Any workaround can be implemented to improved the user experience? We have asked Oracle whether we can disable the SQL statement behind but no firm reply yet.
    Thanks a lot for your help!

    Hi,
    It has always been a bit of an issue, they supposely resolved in it earlier releases though I am not sure how much there really did resolve it.
    It is down to the amount of Javascript that is used in the web forms and how much rendering and validation it has to go through.
    The spec of client machines sometimes can have performance impact.
    One route is to use smart view to enter data into forms, as it is excel based it should be much quicker to cut/copy and paste.

    John, thanks for your advice.
    Yes SmartView should improve the operational speed. However as not all of our users are using SmartView we are looking for some ways to improve the web form speed.

    Hi Sebastin,
    You can't open a webpage in your Crystal Report, because all webpages will be executed in browser only. If you insert any webpage link in any documents it will not open in the same document, it will open in browser.
    Hope this will help you

    I want to buy MBA 11'' which model is good.  i.e.  i need speed.  I am using Lenovo netbook s-10. Is very slow in opening web pages an also in operating other apps.

    Put your first emphasis on memory. Don't even consider 2 GB.
    Second, maximize your SSD size according to the ability of your wallet. Lastly is your processor.
    For what you describe the MBA is plenty fast.
