MacBook loads web pages too slowly

Since updating to Yosemite, MacBook loads web pages much more slowly. I did run an Etrecheck report. If anyone can help me by interpreting it, I will attempt to post it. Or if you have other suggestions, please advise. I did change to an alternate DNS server already.

EtreCheck version: 2.1.5 (108)

I'm using Safari 5.0.5 on a 13" MacBook Pro and can't get Safari to fully load web pages or pictures on web pages. Any suggestions?

I bought a MacBook Pro in October of 2010 and it's been running greatly up to this month. Now I am experiencing problems with Safari loading web pages. Sometimes it will load web pages just fine and other times it doesn't load web pages at all. This only seems to happen with certain sites. Also, on some web pages Safari won't load pictures (only the blue "?" is visible). I've experienced the same problem when I use the Mac App Store. In addition to these problems, when I visit sites that have problems loading, sometimes I just get a notice saying "Not connected to the internet" or "Safari cannot find the server." I am beginning to wonder if the problem could be some setting with my wireless router. I'm really hoping my MacBook hasn't gotten a virus. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi.
Try putting these numbers in Network>TCP/IP>DNS Servers, for the Interface you connect with...
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Then Apply

Why is safari loading certain web pages so slowly?

Emptied the Safari cache lately?
Press Command + Option + E then quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that doesn't help, try this DNS.
Open System Preferences > Network > Advanced > DNS
Click + and type:
208.67.222.222
Click + again and do the same.
208.67.220.220
Click OK.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

My macbook air is so slow at loading web pages

Why is my Macbook Air suddenly so slow at loading web pages?

Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them. In that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
Have you restarted your router and your broadband device (if they're separate) since you first noticed the problem? If not, do that now and see whether there's any change.
If your browser is Safari, then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. Any change?
If you're running OS X 10.9 or later, select the Advanced tab in the Preferences window and uncheck the box marked
Stop plug-ins to save power
Any change?
Quit and relaunch the browser. Any change?
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Enable Private Browsing in the Safari menu. Any change?
Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same? What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
If other browsers and Internet applications are also affected, follow these instructions and test. Any change?
If Parental Controls is active for any user, please turn it off and test. Any change?
If only Safari is affected, launch the Activity Monitor application and enter "web" (without the quotes) in the search box. If a process named "Safari Web Content" is shown in red or is using more than about 5% of a CPU, select it and force it to quit by clicking the X or Quit Process button in the toolbar of the window. There may be more than one such process. Any improvement?
Open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the box marked Photo Stream, if it's checked. Any change?
Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they affected?
If you can test Safari on another network, is it the same there?
If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?

My MacBook Air won't load web pages from the internet. It will connect to phone hotspot and run fine. The apple store reset the library and network preferences and it ran fine for a little bit, now slow again. Any ideas?

Safari is slow 2 load web pages on my Macbook

Safari is slow 2 load web pages on my Macbook.

First I would do a speed test to make sure your Internet is working appropriately. If speed is slow you can restart your router/ modem.

Having issues with loading web pages after using migration assistant

Last week my old macbook pro died and i purchased a new 13" mbp. I brought it home the first day i bought it and just turned it on and started playing with it and the internet was blazing fast, no issues at all. I then brought it back to the apple store where they peformed a migration from my old hdd to my new macbook pro. I then took it back to my dorm and connected to the same exact internet and now i am having problems loading web pages. Sometimes the page will load on the first try (click) and other times it will hang there loading but never fully load the page, and if it does load somewhat certain things are missing from the page. So i have to click the link again, and again, and sometimes again for it to finally load correctly. I dont know what is wrong but i have a feeling it is files from my old system conflicting with new ones when it comes to loading web pages. Everything is up to date the OS and firefox and i am having the same issues in safari. Also my ipad and blackberry have no problem connecting to the wifi so that is not the issue. I really hope someone can help me out because this is really starting to drive me crazy.

If your still having problems, or anyone else......
For future info, your in the wrong forum, your need the MBP area, this is the MacPRO area, no big deal, I can barely keep up with the M & B & P, etc...
Sounds like when it migrated over your old settings it may have gotten corrupted? It has been known to work if you were to just make another "Location" and just re-enter the information again and sometimes that will help. You might take it back to the store and see if it does it on their connection also. The silly person should have tested it first before letting you go.
Hope you got it fixed...

Browsers not loading web pages.

Hi there I'm hoping someone can help me with this.
This evening I logged on to my mac to find that none of my browsers (Safari, Chrome and Firefox) could load web pages. My MacBook Pro connects to the Internet via wifi. All other devices (wired and wireless) connected to the router work and even when the mac is hard wired it works. I have a bootcamp install of windows that works fine.
I tried loading all 3 browsers on another users account to no avail as well as attempting it in a guest account. I also attempted to load pages whilst booted in safe mode again to no avail. The strange thing is, when I connect to my universities VPN the browsers all work fine.
I have also noticed that applications installed that show in the menu bar (weather, Dropbox etc) do not work unless the mac is hard wired (or connected to the VPN wirelessly).
Can anyone help with this problem please?

First contact your ISP. You need to confirm that the issue is not on their end.
Change your router channel. Sometimes this is all you will have to do.
Power cycling the router. Read the router's user manual or contact their tech support for instructions.

Click the Assist Me button
In the popup window click the Diagnostic button.
System Preferences/Network- Unlock padlock. Highlight Airport. Network Name-select your name. Click on the Advanced button. Airport/Preferred Networks-delete all that is not your network.
Place a check mark next to "Remember networks this computer has joined." Click the OK button and lock the padlock. Restart your computer.

Safari won't load web pages while firefox has no problem

Started having problems yesterday and couldn't load any web pages with Safari or get mail. I thought the internet connection was down (it had been down), but the phone gets access via the same home wireless network, and Firefox has no problem loading web pages. Even more bizzare is that the same issue is happening on the iMac and the Macbook: both cannot get mail with Mac Mail or load web pages with Safari, but can with Firefox. This problem seems to correlate with an internet outage - everything worked until the outage, but then didn't work when the internet was back up.

Oh. Another weird thing. When I restart Safari, I can actually load one page. Just the front tab that was open when Safari closed. So odd. I did disable and re-enable DNS prefetching also to no avail also.

IPad really slow and can't load web pages

I tried to ask this question from my iPad mini, but it was not possible to type in this field, so apparently support is another page that I can't load. Suddenly iPad won't load web pages, and is really slow...I already cleared safari cache and history...what now? have not updated to ios8.

Hello LizBMac,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If your Wi-Fi network is loading images slowly, then I recommend that you follow the information in the article linked to below.
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won’t connect to a Wi-Fi network - Apple Support
Take care,

Often unable to load web pages.

My MacBook har suddenly decided to not load web pages ...
I surf around, and maybe one fifth of all the web pages won't load in my browser (both Firefox and Safari). It isn't something about the web pages, because after some time I can get them to load perfectly. I contacted my ISP, and they couldn't find anything wrong. Besides, I can surf just fine from other computers (non-Macs).
I wondered if it was something about the port, since all other apps work perfectly (for example Google Notifier and Audium is always connected), but https doesn't any better. I've also pinged web sites for a long time, without any evidence of something being wrong. One strange thing is that traceroute sometimes gives me "no such host," and then a moment later, it works with the same address.
It's not Airport either, because I now use a network cable and have the same problems.

There are several possibilities that come to mind.
Since HTTP transfers often fail, but lightweight protocols such as AIM don't, my first thought is MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit).
The standard MTU for ethernet networks is 1500 bytes. This means that all transfers are broken into chunks of 1500 bytes each before being sent over the network. In some cases, certain network configurations (such as DSL links that use PPPoE) require a lower MTU such as 1492 or even 1460.
Normally this isn't a problem since the router tells the client what MTU to use but sometimes this doesn't work - especially if you're using a NAT device.
When there's a mismatch your Mac doesn't know that it needs to use a lower MTU so sends traffic upstream at 1500 bytes and the router chokes when it tries to cram that data into its 1492 link.
This is why lightweight protocols often work - the typical AIM packet is less than the MTU and therefore doesn't need to get truncated. However, large file downloads exceed the MTU and run into problems.
If this is the case you can force your MTU to be lower using the System Preferences -> Network -> <interface> -> Ethernet tab. Switch from Automatic to Manual and you'll see options for changing the MTU. Try lowering it to 1460 to see if it works. If it does you can try increasing it until you find the optimal value.
If it wasn't for your statement traceroute sometimes gives me "no such host" I'd be sure this was the problem. However, MTU doesn't usually cause DNS failures since most DNS requests are small.
If your DNS is failing and the ISP belives the DNS server is working correctly, that hints at a link-level problem. Packets are getting lost somewhere along the link between you and the server.
The first thing to check here would be speed and duplex. The fact that you've used both AirPort and wired connections hints that it's not a problem directly on your machine, but what about the rest of the links between you and the router? I'm guessing you have an ethernet cable between your base station and a switch, maybe another cable between that switch and the router? Either of these cables could have a mismatch.
Without knowing the switch it's impossible for me to tell how you check the switch port configuration - some switches have LEDs on each link that tell you the speed and duplex, others have a command line or web interface that will give you port status and statistics. If you have such a switch, check it. Also check the switch logs if you can - you'll often see error messages such as 'excessive CRC errors' which can indicate a duplex mismatch.
If you can't get the information from the switch, try manually configuring your devices. The same preferences tab where you set MTU can also be used to set speed and duplex. Just be aware that if you choose a combination that the switch doesn't support (e.g. you choose gigabit but you're connected to a 100mbps switch), then the link will go down.
Try different options to see if any of them work any better for you.

Firefox will not load web page (I also have Internet Explorer 8 installed).

Fire Fox will not load web pages. It may have something to do with proxy settings but I have reset this to Auto-Detect which is where it has always been in the past but still nothing. Something has reset my proxy settings in the past which caused a similar problem but doesn't seem to be the issue this time. I have Internet Explorer 8.0 installed on computer right now and it seems to work.

After looking into this further I checked firewall settings in Panda A.V. For Firefox they were set to Custom settings which effectively disabled it. I changed setting to Outbound only like Internet Explorer and other programs and Firefox seems to work fine now. Hope this helps others who have experienced this problem. I have teenage children who use computer a lot (Face Book, etc.) so the root of the problem may have been Malware, Adware, or something else but hopefully Panda has taken care of this.

Help! Safari won't fully load web pages until I refresh! Why and any suggestions on how to retify this??

For several months now safari has not been loading web pages properly (not them all, it is a bit random, but maybe every 3rd or 4th page I open?). The blue loading bar gets to about 1.5 inches from the end and stops. I can then click on the bar and refresh and it loads no problems but this is highly inconvenient and I can't seem to fix it.
I have reset safari, updated all software, I am on a mac book pro, I have Version 5.1.5 safari.
Would this be an internet problem rather than a software problem? How would I check.
It's not very convenient when you're doing something important like trying to get tickets for an event and then it jams, and you know you need to refresh but if you refresh you've lost the tickets...
Any suggestions welcome

Hi Krisztina ..
Using OpenDNS can help when pages won't load properly.
Use OpenDNS for better speed, more security, includes anti phishing filters, prevents browser redirects, blocks the flashback trojan, and it's free.
Open System Preferences / Preferences then select the Network tab. Click the Advanced tab then click the DNS tab.
Click +
Enter these addresses exactly as you see them here.
208.67.222.222
Click +
208.67.220.220
Then click OK.
