Mavericks very slow to link to web sites

I My MacBook Pro is very slow to load websites but this is not the case on my iPad and iPhone.. I am running OS X 10.9.4.
i Saw answers to this problem in earlier forums but the latest was July 2013 and are now out of date as the suggestions given for resetting Safari are different and do not exist .
any help would be welcome.

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?
Log out and log back in. Any change?
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?
Again, if only Safari is involved, open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the box marked Safari, if it's checked. Any change?
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?

  • This browser has very slow connectivty to any web site.

    Whatever web sit I want to look at this browser is very slow to connect. I have never had this type of issue with explorer.

    Hi,
    When you initally posted your question, it appears that addons.mozilla.org was undergoing maintenance. I can now successfully download addons from addons.mozilla.org with no problem. You can see the status report at http://status.mozilla.org/en-US/detail/78/ describing the downtime.

  • Loads very slow on one specific web site

    It takes a very long time to load the first page and all subsequent pages. When I use the Netscape or IE browsers they have no problem and are very quick.

    Hi David.
    Sounds like it's not a problem on the site's side. Try running Firefox in safe mode to see if that fixes the issue. If it does, it's possible that some extension may be causing some problem with the site. Try disabling them one at a time to find the problematic one. Once you find it, disable it and contact its author for support.
    If safe mode doesn't solve the issue, please say so and we'll see what we can do.

  • Why is FireFox so slow to initially load web sites, and then works fine?

    The last two updates on FireFox, on my Windows 7 64-bit computer, is very, very slow to connect to web sites (20-30 or more minutes.) Once it does, it works fine. It loads quickly from the cache, and it seems to actually connect to some web sites in the first few seconds before the delay begins. The computer has no malware; using Windows firewall; virus software disabled without solving the problem; using Windows Defender. Other computers on the same home network are having no problems with FireFox.

    The default of the pref network.http.max-connections has been increased from 30 to 256 in Firefox 6+ versions.
    Try to decrease the value of the pref <b>network.http.max-connections</b> from 256 to 30 as used in Firefox 3 versions.

  • Safari was very slow in opening up Google sites.  I found a discussion thread that suggested changing the "Configure IPv6" setting to "Off" in the System Preferences, Network, Advanced, TCP/IP section.  That seems to work well.  Are there any risks?

    Nope. You can always reverse that if you choose.

    the code you posted is not causing the error message.

  • Firefox much slower connecting to all web sites than Internet Explorer. Why?

    Over the last few weeks, Firefox has become much slower connecting to virtually all web sites that I frequent than does Internet Explorer. Nothing has changed on my computer other than occasional downloads of Firefox "improvements".

    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.
    See:
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Server+not+found
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Firewalls
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • CS4 very slow image linking.

    We are having a efficiency issues with CS4.
    We have a large IDML document with 80 pages and 1800 images. Each image is about 24kb jpg.
    If we open the document and InDesign can find images, it will take hours to open the document. And it is very annoying that InDesign stops responding and doesn't show even a progressbar while opening the document.
    If we open the document and InDesign cannot find images, it will open the document in few minutes. Then if we fix the location of images and say "Update all links" or "Relink" broken links, InDesign will start fetching the images but it again takes hours..
    It doesn't matter if the images are on the server or local machine.
    If we update the links in smaller chunks, it will take a few minutes to update all the links. Little more testing shows that the time the InDesign takes to fetch the images increases exponentially when the amount of images increases. That seems a bug to me.
    I'm not sure what InDesign is doing when it fetches images but I know it becomes way too slow and it propably does too much.
    Is this fixed in CS5? And if not, please fix this.
    We are running CS4 InDesign 6.0.6 in Mac OSX 10.5.8 in Mac pro (2.66GHz with 8Gb memory)

    Hello,
    I have a strange problem.
    Some of my images are VERY slow to load,
    scale... (any image operation).
    I have those 2 images :
    http://193.252.5.30/tmp/cat1.jpg (25Ko : 295x551
    pixels)
    http://193.252.5.30/tmp/cat2.jpg (24Ko : 295x551
    pixels)
    I wrote a little program which load and scale the
    image.
    Here is the result :
    cat1.jpg
    Time to load image : 171 ms.
    Time to scale image : 157 ms.
    cat2.jpg
    Time to load image : 1157 ms.
    Time to scale image : 2578 ms.How can this huge difference explained ?
    Thanks for your help.Using the Netbeans profiler, I can see that for some reason, the cat2.jpg image is resulting in a hot spot where the scale() method ends up performing a color conversion via ColorConvertOp. Placing a debugger breakpoint on this call and debugging the code using cat1.jpg, the method is never called. So, there is something different about the color models of the two images, or there is a bug in the image reading code that is misinterpreting the image data.

  • Can not send link to web site with firefox 3.6.8

    When I go to a web site and want to send a link to an email correspondent I go to File>send link and click it. Nothing happens, no new email window with the link. Nada. My email client is TBird 3.0.6
    I have several other machines, two on Ubuntu and one on Windows XP Pro. They all use earlier versions of both TBird an Firefox. The feature works fine there.

    Your Firewall does not recognize the new version of Firefox and is blocking it from connecting. Clear all instances of Firefox from your Firewall programs list. Let your Firewall re-detect the new version of Firefox and give Firefox the necessary permissions in your Firewall. See:

  • Safari (and other browsers) very slow loading "content rich" web pages

    Hi,
    I'm a very "light" user of my mac, using it basically for surfing the web, uploading pictures and music, etc... and recently any web page that has a lot of content (examples are nfl.com, nba.com, nhl.com, mlb.com, united.com, continental.com) takes a very long time to load (most other web pages load normally). Safari (and Firefox as well) gets to the web page in an instant, but then sits there trying to load content (mostly high res pictures and ads I suppose), which sometimes takes minutes or just never fully downloads the content. I'm connected to the internet via ethernet (high speed cable modem from Time Warner), and they've already come out and verified that everything on their end is fine. I've followed the instructions posted on some of the other similar posts (emptying cache, deleting cookies, disenabling add on's, reseting safari, logging in as another user, etc..), and this has not helped. Since this problem is persistent with both browsers, I'm wondering if this may be an OS issue as opposed to a browser issue. If someone can walk me through a solution (keep in mind that I'm a novice), that would be much appreciated.
    Thanks!

    HI and welcome....
    Since this problem is persistent with both browsers, I'm wondering if this may be an OS issue as opposed to a browser issue
    Could be.
    Since the problems exist with multiple browsers, login to another user account on your Mac. Try Safari there. If you see the same behavior with Safari there, then follow the instructions here. You will need your install disc. The startup disk may need repairing. Even if Safari is ok in another account, it's still a good idea to check the startup disk. That way you can rule that out.
    Insert your install disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
    Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
    (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first from the installer menu)
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
    Select First Aid in the Main panel.
    (Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
    Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
    If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
    If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
    When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
    Select your startup disk and click Restart
    While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window. Where you see Capacity and Available. Make sure there is always 15% free space.

  • Very slow / aborted connection to some sites. UK R...

    Hi all,
    For the past two weeks or so I've had awful connectivity issues to a variety of different websites, e.g.
    www.bbc.co.uk
    www.ebay.co.uk
    www.facebook.co.uk
    www.imdb.co.uk
    www.tesco.com
    yet other sites work perfectly well, These same sites are readily accessible via my mobile phones 3g connection, so I know it is not an issue with the websites themselves.
    I know there was a broader UK wide issue with BT broadband at the weekend, but this has been marked as resolved. Is there anything else that might be causing this issue? Routing or DNS issues perhaps, and how could I test this?
    It is not a general broadband connection issue as my home hub remains stable, and I can readily access newsgroups (astraweb and newsdemon) at full speed without issue.
    Thanks
