Massive Slowdown when loading webpage

Firefox become incredibly slow when loading in a webpage, especially ones with a lot of flash content. The progress wheel would lag, and scrolling will be jaggy etc. I am forced to switch to Chrome because this issue is getting on my nerves.

Hello,
Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
#Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
#Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
#Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
# Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. [[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] 
# Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
# Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
# Restart Firefox.
This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
Does this solve the problem? Let us know.

Itunes sound distorted when loading webpages

Hi,
I recently got a new laptop (like a week ago) and installed iTunes 9. This worked fine at first, but starting yesterday the sound gets distorted half the time I load webpages or open applications.
I've had this before on older computers, and assumed it was because of their limited technical capabilities. I don't think that's the case here, though.
Does anyone have any idea where the problem could be situated? Or might it be technical after all?
Thanks in advance!
Greetings,
Steven

Sounds like your audio midi settings are not being stored properly.
I'd try deleting com.apple.audio.AudioMIDISetup.plist and resetting
audio midi.
As you know, iTunes only reads the audio midi settings when it starts
up, so I'd do that with itunes not running.

Safari 3.1.1 hesitates when loading webpage

I have a G4/667 (circa 2001) running OS X 10.4.1
I noticed that Safari 3.1.1 hesitates noticeably when loading a webpage. The blue progress bar freezes at the beginning, & SLOWLY progresses. (it's really maddening & gets on my nerves) I tested the webpages on Firefox, & it DOESN'T HAPPEN.
What is going on? I think other users have noticed the same thing.
I tried everything: empty Safari cache, restart computer, run Onyx to clean things up.

Hi
running OS X 10.4.1
I think you meant 10.4.11 as Safari 3.1.1 is incompatible with earlier versions of OS X.
What you describe is more of a Network issue. Go to your System Preferences Network panel. Do the following:
-Location - set up a personal location by clicking on the location drop down menu and selecting "add a location". Use a name familiar to you. Once established, select "apply".
-Next, click on the "Show" drop down menu and select Network Port Configurations. Depending on whether you use Ethernet or Airport (wireless) for your setup: Only Ethernet or Airport ought to be checked. Move it to the top of the list (you can drag it). Select "apply". Everything else ought to be unchecked unless you use a Bluetooth device.
-Back to the "Show" menu, select either "Ethernet" or "Airport" (whichever applies to you). Click on the TCP panel. There, if you live outside the US enter 208.67.222.220 and 208.67.220.222 (separate lines) in the DNS servers box - these are Opensource DNS codes. and select "apply". If you live in the US use Verizon's 4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2 public codes instead of the OpenDNS codes.
Restart Safari

Safari freezes when loading webpages, rainbow wheel

When loading some webpages, especially blogs with pictures from blogspot.com, safari freezes about 75% into loading the page. The rainbow wheel appears and spins indefinitely and does not stop until I force quit the program. This happens on Firefox, too. The problem occurs nearly every time I try loading these webpages.
This problem began once I installed Leopard.

Nevermind, I figured it out.
Some flash files were corrupted, so I updated those and repaired permissions.

Light grey lines appearing when loading webpages.

In the small time from when I click on a link and Firefox loads the page, there are these small grey lines that appear. (http://prntscr.com/56zhsd) When I bought my computer, there were none. But within a week they started to appear and they just kept on adding ever since.
I've updated to the newest version of Firefox and I've run it in Safe Mode, no solution.

Thank you '''so''' much.
I was beginning to worry that it was a hardware problem as many of my computers that I have owned previously have had the same issue but on every program.

Yosemite: Input freezes when loading webpage with video (flash?)

Just updated to Yosemite, and its impressive. But im having a severe issue where input (mouse and keyboard) freezes for at least 5 seconds whenever I load a webpage in Safari with a video on it. Not sure if its just flash or any video. This did not happen before upgrade.
Im on a late 2013 Macbook pro Retina 13" with Yosemite 10.10
Any suggestions or similar experiences?

Try uninstalling Adobe Flash Player, and determine if the web page containing the video you are using really requires it. Most don't.
If, after uninstalling Flash Player you determine you really require it, install it again. That alone may fix the problem.

Massive slowdowns when using Airport Extreme

Hi everyone,
I'm pulling my hair out over this problem. I have a 50/5 cable connection which deteriorates in an unacceptable manner as soon as I connect to the web wirelessly using my almost brand new Airport Extreme Base station (bought this August). I have an Ubee EVM 3200 cable modem, and as long as I plug my laptop directly into it, I get the advertised speeds and pings at around 20 ms. However, as soon as I involve my Airport Extreme, everything falls apart: my downstream drops to about 25Mbits (sometimes lower) and my ping goes up to 40-50 ms. Upload speeds remain intact, for some reason.
Now, the base station is situated about five meters from my Macbook Pro and signal strength is supposedly very good. Even if I sit down right next to it, my speeds are still only half of what I should be getting. I also tried pingtest.net, which wasn't even able to test for packet loss. So, what am I doing wrong here? Is my Airport broken? Is there some kind of problem between the Airport Base Station and the modem? Or am I just stupid and there's some trivial setting that's causing all this?
I've already tried this fix: http://discussions.apple.com/messag...321416#11321416
It vastly improved my ping (to about 20, where it should normally be), but speeds are still terrible.
I'd be very grateful to hear your comments.

The picture did not load, but I assume that it displays the signal strength of about 68% that you mention. Are there other networks displayed as well?
Users are very confused about signal strength. They see 5 "bars" on the Airport icon at the top of the computer screen and think that is 100%, 4 bars = 80%, etc. +The "bars" are there just for show+. As you may now have guessed, they tell you nothing about the actual signal strength or noise on the network.
Your AirPort Extreme radiates a signal primarily in an upward spherical pattern from the device...360% degrees, so the signal goes all over the place like an expanding balloon. Some of the signal is absorbed by any close obstructions...a wall, ceiling, cabinet, etc. This cannot be avoided.
A reading of 68% represents a very strong signal. If you think about it, it would be impossible for the computer to receive 100% of the signal that is radiated when a third of it, on average, is absorbed by any nearby obstructions.
But there is more, and it can get complicated. You need to use the Inspector feature (Edit menu) of iStumbler to calculate a much more important measurement than signal strength alone. You need to calculate the Signal to Noise Ratio, or SNR. This is the most useful measurement that you can use to evaluate the quality of a wireless signal. Post back if you want to work through this.

When loaded webpage shifted to right. scroll bar not showing

When I open a website the page is shifted to the right and partly off screen so I cannot scroll up or down in the document.

Q1: Does that happen with all sites including this one, or on particular sites?
Q2: If you change the zoom level using one of these methods, does it make any difference?
* On the application menu (click the "3-bar" menu button), try the + and - buttons
* Hold down the Ctrl key and tap the + and - buttons on the keyboard
Q3: Have you noticed any problems with secure certificate errors or sites missing content?
More generally...
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* (menu bar) Tools > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
In case one of your extensions is involved, could you test the page in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
Any difference?

Mac Pro Slow to load webpages

Almost overnight, My MacPro (late 2009 Dual Quad, 2 1Tetra HD) started to REALLY slow down when loading webpages on both Safari and Firefox. Some times , I will get the "safari can't find browser" message...and if I try it again, it will load....after it loads and I go back to in within the same internet session, it is usually ok. And these are my topsites that I go to all the time. Did not know if anyone had any ideas. I tried to find if there were some type of diagnostic software, but could not find it.
Could I possibly have a virus...if so any suggestions on how to rid myself of it.

Sig shows 10.4 my friend!
Also, 3 x 2GB (or 4 x 2GB) is basic, I would hate to see someone running with less than 6GB, and some have a need for 12-24GB easily.
Keep your system in good shape with SuperDuper and Disk Warrior (clone it over to a new drive). Installing a system and apps can really fragment all the free space and while files may not be, it still helps to clone once in awhile, and optimize free space etc.
For some apps, 8GB really is not a lot (CS4/5 for instance_) though I'm sure you'll find those that say their system is 'fine' with that amount for their work. Others really need more (fast raid0 for boot; scratch; and media).
Avoid 'green' drives for active work. And while fast, a full 1TB drive full track seek is still going to be slow... another reason to clone/optimize.

A Critical error encountered while loading webpage.

Was running 2.1.51 and when browsing to the status link while logged in to the web gui I got a blank web page with the following text:
A Critical error encountered while loading webpage.
Reboot router - log back in - can go anywhere except the status page -- get same error page
made the mistake of downloading and upgrading firmware to 2.1.71   = upgrade completed successfully = presented with the new login screen confirming that the box is running the new code -- now when I log in - I don't get in rather the previous error page - and cant get anywhere.
A Critical error encountered while loading webpage.
the url is https://192.168.75.1/scgi-bin/platform.cgi   but it doesn't load only displays the error.
could someone share another valid management url for the box so I can at least try to get in somewhere before attempting to factory reset this POS ;-(
thanks.

Thanks for the response.   Based on the number of crickets that I heard after asking the question, I did indeed factory reset the box. Luckily I had a backup of the config so it wasn't too painful to restore.
I beleive the root cause co-incided with the expiration of the trend micro web protection gateway service.
For whatever reason, I did not receive any notification that the service was to expire but the error experienced was noticed just two days after the subscription expired... I had successfully logged in without issue and was able to view the status tab only a week earlier.
be sure to pay the cisco tax on time or they'll lock you out of your box was the lesson learned...

This is a family computer and I do not like the language used at times when the webpage cannot be found. Clean up the language please

When a webpage or site is not available, my browser FireFox 3.6.8 comes up with funny messages. But one uses what I consider the vulgar term f***ing. Yea I know, you think it is funny, but I don't. Vulgar means course or common, low English, etc. so it is proper to call it vulgar. I would prefer that my kids and family not be exposed to that on my computer. Please kill that page or I will have to change browsers.

You should be seeing something like this when a website can't be found:
<pre><code># Check the address for typing errors such as
ww.example.com instead of
www.example.com
# If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
# If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.</code></pre>
If you get a Google or other search page with links on it then you can disable that search by setting the pref keyword.enabled to false on the about:config page. 
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/keyword.enabled 
See also http://kb.mozillazine.org/Location_Bar_search 
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

Delay in loading webpages!

I recently started to notice (about 2-3 days ago) that the loading of a webpage was slower than normal. I started to investigate and realized that it was just when loading a webpage and that when I tried to download something or use internet in any other way the speed was the same as always. Let's say that I want to open Apple's web page, when I give the command to go to the webpage the blue status bar in Safari does not move for about 10 seconds. After that the web page loads perfectly and fast. I really don't know what has happened, there has not been any change to my network configuration or hardware, however about a month ago (way more than what the problem has persisted) I asked my ISP to change the Dynamic IP I had for a Static IP so I don't know if this could be influencing in something.
My internet and router configuration is kind of complex (compared to normal use) becuase from the modem that my ISP provides I have connected a Linksys wired router set to "optain IP address automatically". The router is configured to assign a range of IP adresses to other hardware connected to it. To this Linksys router I have connected 3 other routers which are the ones in charge of making my whole house wireless. The routers are: 1 Aiport Extreme Base Station (Wireless N) and 2 Aiport Express (Wireless G). They are both set to "bridge mode" in order for the Linksys to provide all of the IP addresses used and the three Apple routers are configured to use DHCP automatically.
I hope that the lenghty description of the problem and my network setup helps in order to solve my problem!
Thank you very much!

Search for open DNS or public DNS and you will find many to choose from.
You can either enter it directly in the network preference pane on your Mac or you can enter it in the router and allow the router's DHCP service to push that to your devices.
I put the DNS information in my router and it pushes it to all the connected devices.

I am not sure this is a question within the scope of this forum.
If you have problems with a web page because of the page design or changes to the webpage it is normally up to the website to sort that out.
You could consider posting on a mozillazine forum to see what they say if you think it is a website problem.

Web browsers not loading webpages

Overnight, a couple of days ago, my web browsers (Safari and Chrome) both stopped loading webpages. When I click on a link, I get a blank page. But when I am logged as a guest or browse through Vmware's windows I can still browse normally. Thanks for helping to fix this.

Thank you Carolyn,
I've got Sophos installed from long time ago. That's the only antivirus that is installed.
Checking in firewall settings didn't help I think, cause even after desactivating the firewall temporaly didn't fix the issue in both web browsers.
This issue is not discussed in Mac malware guide.
Another detail, is that some web content will load like this discussion group or google search. But If I click on any item from google search, the page won't load.
