Pages Not loading or loading very slowly

We have a home network, two laptops, one iMac. We were all having problems with the internet cutting out on us and it got to the point where unplugging the modem and router no longer did any good. My son with the iMac, which was never having any problems, ever, just quit using it, because he said he no longer could use the internet.
I always thought it must be the router and even got on here and asked if the Airport's go bad, but something recently caused me to think about the Comcast modem.
So I did the same thing and searched for info on cable modems going bad, sure enough there was much to read about that! So we went and bought our own modem last night, called Comcast today to hook us up on their end, and his iMac will work good for just a few minutes, then it starts acting up and keeps saying "loading" when you try and go to a site.
So, how about the internal card or whatnot that speaks to the airport extreme? Can this be the problem? Is there something maybe we can do or check to get this working good once again, now that we have a new modem and eliminated that problem?
Thanks for any help here!
Jeff

Welcome to the discussions!
If the iMac works well at first, but then slows after a few minutes, that is a classic symptom of interference from a cordless phone or another nearby wireless network. Microwave ovens and other nearby electronics can cause issues as well. It may take some experimentation like turning off the cordless phones (if you have them) for an hour or so to see if the wireless signal improves.
If no luck on that front, download a utility like iStumbler if you can on the iMac to display the signal strength and noise on your network. Ideally, you want at least 50-60% signal strength at the iMac with noise less than 10%.
Note the channel that your wireless network is using and compare that to any other networks that are displayed. If you see another network on the same channel or even a close adjacent channel, try changing the channel on your wireless router to look for less congested airspace. Depending on the location of your residence, you may see a few other networks or a lot of networks if you are in close quarters like an apartment complex.
If you still have problems with all computers, then it is time to suspect the wireless router and work from that angle.

Iweb 09 pages load very slowly - How can I fix this?

Hi-
Just published my website to ipage.com and every page is loading very slowly despite the fact that the backgrounds and graphics are very simple (Many of the pages are text only). I'm using the "Modern theme" Blank with a gradient fill, which is what seems to be causing the slowdown. I've tried it on two computers (macbook and macbook pro), two browsers (safari and firefox) and my iphone 4 - performance is equally poor on all three. Spoke to my Web Hosting technical support (I'm using Ipage) and he says my site is only using 17 mb, which should not cause any issues. My download speeds are also very fast so it's not my computers that are causing the issue (Between 20.5 and 23.2 mbps, ping=18ms). The site address is www.jeffreyjanger.com.
Thanks,
jeff

Bonjour
the slowness is explained by the big size of gradient fill image. Your background [image|http://www.jeffreyjanger.com/JeffreyJanger/Home_files/backgroundimage_11.png] is a PNG
You've changed color opacity, that forces iWeb to create a PNG file.
if you let opacity to 100%, iWeb will create a JPEG file
In an iWeb published site, JPEG file size can be 25% smaller than PNG (and sometimes more...)

Web pages loading very slowly.

It doesn't matter if my Mac is connected with an ethernet cable or wireless, web pages are loading very slowly. I'm sure there's an easy fix for this but I'm clueless. Can anyone offer a suggestion? Thanks...

Try clicking safari> reset safari.this should speed things up a bit. also click preferences, cookies, and clear some unwanted cookies.

Since update, various sites load very slowly and some do not load until "Reload Current Page" is clicked several times.

Since Firefox update (6.0.2) many sites load very slowly and some do not load at all (green circle rotates infinitely) until "Reload Current Page" is clicked on 2 to 12 times.
Returned to version 5. No more slow load.
Automatically re-updated me to 6.0.2 and now slow again.
Returned to FF 5 again and turned off automatic update.
Downloaded 7.0.1 and the problem seems to be solved.

Same here, only that updating to 7.0 or 7.0.1 doesn't seem to solve this issue. Seems to have something to do with loading images (e.g: adobe.com stops loading when "wwwimages.adobe.com" is being loaded. imdb.com, on the other hand, seems to load images very slowly and not all of them).
Safe-mode. disabling add-ons, clearing cache and cookies and checking for malware doesn't help.

IBooks Author: in exported file, one page loads very slowly...

iBooks Author: in exported file, one page loads very slowly and drags when scrolling through pages, almost stopping the scroll. I have never seen this problem before with photo pages. Normally they scroll just as smoothly as text pages.
I have tried rebuilding the page with more compressed files to no avail. The image files used on the page are not any bigger than others I have used previously without any problem.
I have tried restarting my iBook.
I am using a template that I have modified quite a bit. The templates currently offered by Apple and third parties are not even close to what I am looking for in terms of layout, so I have to rip almost everything out of the page and start with a blank page, most of the time. I tried modyfying the layouts to save time and then saved as a new template. Apple really needs to add a module to create your own template at the beginning of a project. Or they need to create one very open template, without much on the pages.

I finally solved the problem by using an unmodified template. I would still like to know how my modifications to the other template caused the problem, but for now it remains a mystery. Thanks for your ideas.
Next I will try modifying the template without saving it as a template (merely saving it as a file) to see if I can get away with my modifications. Also I will make fewer modifications.
Slowly but surely I am learning this program by trial and error. Each time I try a few formatting variations, output an iBooks file, and open it on my iPad. I have probably done 20 of these tests, so far. Once I work out every detail of the design and structure, I will build the final book. I am lucky to have a beautiful PDF of the hardcover version, generously provided by my publisher. This not only sets a high bar for me, but also allows me to use some of their design elements via screen capture.
iBooks Author has great potential, but I along way to go to get there. One feature I would really like to see in the next update: the ability to add a hidden caption to a photo. The reader would tap the image and the caption would appear. Tap again and it disappears.

Movies on itunes will not load or load very slowly and freeze on my apple tv.

Movies on itunes will not load or load very slowly and freeze on my apple tv. both the computer and apple tv are wired connections on my home network. Checked the network speed and it is between 0 and 1 ms response. This problem just started last week. Only new software introduced recently was update to Norton 360.
Thanks

I know very little about windows but security software is notorious for causing the type of problem you have, you may want to contact Symentec and ask them which settings you need to change.

Website loads very slowly in Safari....

I have had my website for quite a while and all of a sudden, when I try to view it in Safari, it loads very slowly and each time the welcome page loads, there are pictures missing. I have not done anything different to my site. Is this a problem with Mobileme or iWeb or both?? My site is captured4u.com

I can't speak for past performance, but any page that is over a MB in size does take longer to load. A problem with your page is that you have an idea of how to add pictures and make the layout how you want it to look, but there is a price the viewer has to pay to download all of those graphics, including some of the text that are being converted to graphics by iWeb (which means Google can't read some of your categories for their index).
I don't find that iWeb does a very good job of optimizing graphics for the web. They work, but dedicated graphics programs like Photoshop or even Photoshop Elements will do much better when the files are resized and saved for web properly.
You would probably do better to simplify the home page with larger single graphics for each category that are used to point to other pages with more related photo's and descriptions. Remember, even the fancy picture frame outlines are more graphics the viewer has to load, and you need to be aware of when iWeb is going to convert your text into graphics either because you are not using standard web safe fonts, are rotating the text or adding other fancy attributes.
Design and optimization are always a compromise. iWeb is not always smart about optimization, and mobileme is not the best solution for speed. They're fairly easy to use, but go easy on them...

Pages not loading completely

I am seeing intermittent issues with web pages not loading completely, or taking a long time to load. Some times embedded images will not load. The page will often load, but the page loading icon in chrome will carry on spinning.
This is happening periodically and at various times of the day, but has been going on for a couple of weeks. The rest of the time, my broadband speeds are fine and very snappy, as normal.
I've restarted my router (homehub 3) several times.
This doesn't seem to be a general speed problem.
Using speedtest.net, i can see that my download speed is pretty consistent at just under 20mbps.
Using pingtest.net i see no packet loss, with good ping times.
Using the BT speedtest tool, my line speed to the house is around 23mbps, and my download speed is again around 20mbps.
This is effecting all devices attached to the router, both wired and wifi... both windows PC/laptops and ipad/iphone devices.
I am not sure where to look next, and am kind of dreading a conversation with BT helpdesk.
Any ideas?

Thanks... That's a long thread, and I am not going to pretend to understand all of it.
It seems to be similar issue, but I am seeing this any webiste, including this one, not just on a handful of specific sites.
If I understand the thread above correctly, that issue is with BT, and was apparantly fixed, although the most recent post suggests it has not been. And that if this is the same problem, I can't do anything to fix this myself, other than raise this BT?
Having played around a little more, I think I can see that this problem becomes more accute when i am jumping rapidly from one webpage to another in quick succession, until i get to the point where pages are just not loading anymore.

The fancybox images on the Recent Images section of the site are loading very slowly. This just started happening with Mozilla 8. Is there a fix?

The images on the fancybox on the bottom of our main page (Recent Images) are loading very slowly. This issue is only on Mozilla 8. When you browse through the images the loading begins from top to bottom.

previously i had adsl from bt and didnt have these issues.

You can include alternative content for people who do not
have the Flash
player. Essentially, you write the site twice--once in HTML
and once in
Flash/Flex. This is one reason why people will often advise
you not to put
mission-critical functionality into anything that requires
the Flash player,
unless you're 100% certain that all of the users who need to
see your
content will have it.
