Flash Web Pages Very Slow

Hi all, i've noticed on my iBook G4 1.33, 1GB, OSX 10.4.7 that any web pages that contain flash are really slow and not very responsive. I appreciate that flash movies are probably more intensive to the machine but having come from the PC where flash makes no difference regardless of your spec im finding it a little frustrating. Am i doing something wrong?
Cheers

aghh right,
basically on both the links above, i have no problems,
my problems are whenever there is flash ads or flash movie
streams, my scrolling is so bad, i have to go back to the old
fashion drag the bar.
i did actually think i had cured it with a reinstall of flash
player, but its back again.
as much as it pains me to say this....iam real tempted to go
back to the dreaded I.E.
as my main interests are gaming, virtually all my sites i
visit are every flash orientated, so to be honest, i dont know what
to do.
one thing for sure its dam annoying.

Web Pages Very Slow To Open

I recently switched DSL providers. In the process, I got a new DSL modem. This is a 2Wire (2701HG) DSL modem. It has a wireless router built-in. I have the 2Wire modem connected to an eMac via ethernet. This works well. No matter what Web browser I use, Web pages load at a very fast rate. I also have a Time Capsule connected via ethernet to the 2Wire modem. Time Capsule provides wireless Internet service throughout the house. I use a MacBook in various rooms to connect wirelessly through Time Capsule. My dilemma? The so-called "latency" rate on the MacBook. When Web pages load on the MacBook, there is a 12-15 second delay before the page actually loads. If I connect the MacBook via ethernet cable directly to the 2Wire modem, Web pages load fast. Any idea what's causing the unacceptably slow loading of Web pages on the MacBook when it's connected to the Internet with a wireless connection via Time Capsule? The 2Wire modem's wireless router is turned on and password protected, but I don't use it. The Time Capsule is also on and password protected, and I'm trying to fix the latency rate when I use the MacBook with a wireless connection. Any suggestions? Would disabling the 2Wire's wireless signal solve the problem? I'm using DHCP on Time Capsule. Does a setting need to be adjusted using Airport Utility? I have reset the Time Capsule numerous times, adjusted the Time Capsule's settings, but to no avail. Any help would be appreciated. If you need more info about the modem or Time Capsule settings, I will provide it. The Time Capsule is not a bridge, it's just set up as a wireless router. Thanks.

You should only have one router on a home network (as its function is to translate a single public IP address to multiple private addressed on your LAN). If you have the 2Wire and TC both configured as routers, slow connection or no connection would be the likely result.
Suggestion would be to choose "Add New Network Device" when setting up the TC and add it as an Access Point. This will provide wireless connectivity and ensure that only one device is doing network address translation. My network is setup in this exact way (when an Airport Extreme router and a TC added as an Access Point) and I have not experienced any problems with 4 Macs that connect wirelessly.

Web page VERY slow to load

I created a website in Dreamweaver CS3, but the gallery page loads very slow. I believe it's from the images, but they want to keep all those images and that size. I used IrfanView to compress the images but to me, the page still loads slow. Here is the web page http://www.kmmcement.com/gallery.html. Is there anything else I can do to help the web page load faster? Thank you!

I think you're missing the point.
You need to actually resize each fullsize image to make a smaller image which will be your thumbnail. Then compress.
e.g.http://www.kmmcement.com/gallery/DSC00486.JPG is 3264px x 2448px.
1. You need to resize that image in Irfanview to 240px x 216px then compress it.
2. Then insert the 240px x 216px thumbnail in your page. (Not the fullsize image which takes far too long to load)
3. Then link each thumbnail to its fullsize version (3264 px x 2448px which is still too big dimensionally for a webpage)
4. Same steps are required for all the fullsize images.

Since a week or 2 Firefox has been loading web pages very slow. Or it does load them but it takes a good 3 seconds before i can scroll or enter anything.

This morning also it froze up for a good 10 seconds and then it loaded the web pages again. Especially when i am browsing on a forum and return to main page or something. It just takes ages before i can select anything. It loads somewhat slower also but the part of it that i cannot select anything or scroll down before it stops thinking.

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Bookmarks_history_and_toolbar_buttons_not_working_-_Firefox
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Bookmarks+not+saved#w_fix-the-bookmarks-file
You can also try to repair the places database with this extension:
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/places-maintenance/
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Web pages very slow to load

I have just bought a Mac (3.1 GHz with 7 GB RAM) and have been very frustrated with the performance of Safari, Chrome and Firefox - specifically how long it takes web pages to load.
Chrome says 'sending request'.
Safari says 'contacting website' or 'loading http ....'
Firefox says 'connecting to website ....'
I am connected to a LAN via an ethernet cable and am connected to the internet via cable modem (BigPond).
My DNS servers are 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220.
I have cleared the history in the web browsers and have rebooted the machine many times.
What am I missing?
(My PC, connected to the same LAN, does not have the same problem.)
Many thanks for any help.

Let's stick with Safari.
Have you "reset Safari" from the Safari menu? You might try that.
Also, in System Preferences > Network > Advanced > DNS, have you entered the DNS server?
What does a speed test like http://www.bandwidthplace.com/
or one of the others show?

EPM Web Pages very slow to render

I've installed Foundation Services on a Windows 2008 box with a single dual core CPU, 4GB RAM.
When I launch Workspace, the web page takes at lease 5 minutes to render. In addition launching any applciation within Workspace e.g. Shared Services, it also take about 5 minutes to render.
Any suggestions on what I should check to resolve this?

Web pages very slow to load if at all

I just bought my first Mac about 9 months ago...and was loving it until 7-10 days ago the web access has slowed to a crawl, and sometimes not at all. I also seem to recall it was about the time I updated some software.
I have tried several of the suggestions on these forums...adding DNS numbers, reversing DNS numbers....etc...nothing has worked thus far.
It also seems to have affected Firefox... is that possible?
Many times I cannot even access the web at all...I had to try about 6-7 times just to get to this Apple website.
I am wide open to any suggestions. Please note...I am only somewhat savvy regarding operating systems...so be gentle!!

HI,
Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari and move the "cache.db" file to the Trash.
If deleting the cache.db file doesn't help, go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem. Safari: Add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
If it's not third party add-ons, troubleshoot the Safari .plist file.
Go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop.
Relaunch Safari and see if that makes a difference. If not, move the .plist file back to the Preferences folder. If Safari functions as it should, move that .plist file to the Trash.
 Web pages include a small icon or 'favicon' which is visible in the address bar and next to bookmarks. These icons take up disk space and slow Safari down. It is possible to erase the icons from your computer and start fresh. *To delete Safari's icon using the Finder, open your user folder, navigate to ~/Library/Safari/ and move this file "webpageIcons.db to the Trash.*
And if you didn't repair disk permissions after the update, it would be beneficial to do so.
Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

Web page open slow

http://web.mac.com/escapademedia/Nouveau/Accueil.html
There is my link web page travel. I put some little Flash, have high speed internet and i realize sometime all my web page open slow ? All pictures are JPG and very light.

Possible if i put to other server my web page open moore faster.
Need suggestions. Thank's to take your time to help me.
M.Raymond

It opened fine for me, sometimes it takes the Apple servers a while to respond so may be at that end the problem lies not with your internet connection. That is why people suggest other hosts for commercial sites. I like your site - very good layout.

How do I embed a youtube video in a flash web page?

I am attempting to embed a youtube video in a flash web page I created. I have been able to do this in html on static sites and thought I might be able to do the same in flash. Can anyone walk me thru the steps to do this?

Thank you Rob,
I am VERY new to actionscript and have an additional question:
I saw this in the beginning notes of the document link you sent me:
Use the following URL to load the chromeless player into your
application and build your own custom controls in Flash:
http://www.youtube.com/apiplayer?version=3
how do I do this? Do I do this in actionscript (how) or the import
feature?
Any additional assistance you give me will be greatly appreciated

Web pages containing flash run/scroll very slow, help plz

hi guys,
complete first timer on here so be gentle,
i have a very annoying problem with flash player and my
firefox web browser.
what happens is,
normal browsing is all ok with no problems, but as soon as a
flash ad or anything with flash appears , it basically brings that
web page to a stand still.
meaning, you know when you use your scroll wheel under normal
circumstances, to scroll down a page, well when the problem
happens, the page just virtually freezes up, and scrolling just
becomes impossible.
i figured this out to be a flash player problem, when i was
on IGN'S web site, and they have small ads appearing at regular
intervals, and i noticed that as soon as ads appeared, the
scrolling problem happened.
so can anybody give me any ideas as to why or how to stop
this happening.
i have firefox 2.0.0.3 and flash player 9,0,28,0
thanks for any help.

aghh right,
basically on both the links above, i have no problems,
my problems are whenever there is flash ads or flash movie
streams, my scrolling is so bad, i have to go back to the old
fashion drag the bar.
i did actually think i had cured it with a reinstall of flash
player, but its back again.
as much as it pains me to say this....iam real tempted to go
back to the dreaded I.E.
as my main interests are gaming, virtually all my sites i
visit are every flash orientated, so to be honest, i dont know what

Use VLC for YouTube and other Flash Player videos. Flash has become very slow and VLC Web Player works perfectly for other video websites.

I'd like to use VLC Web Player for viewing YouTube videos rather than use Adobe Flash. Adobe Flash is very slow on my other computers and when websites use my VLC Web Player, I have no issues whatsoever. I'm curious if this can be done with Firefox, as I researched it only to find an add-on for Google Chrome only.

You may be able to disable Flash entirely and just use HTML 5 video codecs to view the videos this is faster but you may lose access to some videos such as ones that have mandatory advertisements.

Only one web pages is slow - on another pc on same lan it opens fast

Hi,
Am running Firefox 29.0.1 on a Windows 7 pc. One particular web pages takes over a minute to load. On the same LAN I have another pc running Firefox 29.0 on Ubuntu (Linux) and it opens the same web page in a matter of seconds.
On the Windows 7 pc I have cleared the cache, cleared cookies but still the one page gives problems.
Web pages is http://www.stuff.co.nz
Any ideas to fix the problem would be very much appreciated.

[[Firefox is slow - How to make it faster]]
# Open the History on the computer that is slow.
# Search for all of the pages with that domain name.
# Delete them
# Reload the page.
Reload the webpage while bypassing the cache using '''one''' of the following steps:
*Hold down the ''Shift'' key and click the ''Reload'' button with a left click.
OR
*Press ''Ctrl'' + ''F5'' or ''Ctrl'' + ''Shift'' + ''R'' (Windows and Linux)
*Press ''Command'' + ''Shift'' + ''R'' (Mac)
Let us know if this solves the issues you are having.

[SOLVED] Web navigation very slow

I've installed the last version of ArchLinux (archlinux-2009.02-ftp-i686.iso) and the web navigation is very slow. Loading Google's home page in Windows is instantaneous but in Linux it takes about 9 seconds. And the rest of web pages are the same. I've noticed that, when loading a web page, it takes a lot of time in "Looking up www.google.es..." so I guess that it is a networking problem. I've tried several web browser with the same result.
I've tried several changes which I found in Internet:
a) According to http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=61408:
- I included the host name in /etc/hosts
- I deactivated IPv6 in /etc/modprobe.conf with "alias net-pf-10 off"
b) According to http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Qui … ux_Install:
- In /etc/rc.conf, I updated:
gateway="default gw 192.168.1.1"
ROUTES=(gateway)
because my router is in 192.168.1.1 and the page recommended to remove the ! in ROUTES=(!gateway)
- I added /etc/resolv.conf.head:
nameserver 192.168.1.1
These changes improved a bit the performance but I am not satisfied yet. It takes a lot of time to retrieve the 1st page from a server (however, afterwards, the navigation in that server is normal). It looks like there is no cache for DNS names.
Any hint?
Thank you in advance

Glad you found it! One of the first things I do when setting up a system behind the typical soho router, is to put either the isp's primary and alternate dns addresses into the router itself. (I actually prefer OpenDNS addresses - scroll to the bottom right of their web page)
In days of old when soho routers didn't always follow internet rfq's, and seemed to have their internal dns routines tuned for Windows / Mac, doing this helped bypass that nonsense. Now the *nix boxes had no problems with slow dns lookups, and the windows/mac boxes were just fine as well. I suppose soho routers are better these days, but I still do this.

Web pages are slow to load up.

I am having trouble loading up web pages, they do eventually load but its very slow. I wan't to delete unwanted/ junk files how do i do this

The first thing you should do is check your internet connection, try it out here:
http://www.speedtest.net
One important thing to note is to ignore the ads at ALL COSTS, that mac clean thing is NOT something you want
If your results are 5mbs or less, I would say its your internet connection to check.
Secondly, use an up to date browser such as chrome or safari. If you have any exemptions, turn them off.
Those are some tips I have, I have no clue how to remove junk files to speed up your browsing experience.
Hope this helped
