Safari Slow after Mavericks install.
My Fix.
In order below try:
1) System Preferences -> Flash —> Advanced -> “Browser Data and Settings” -> “Delete All”
2) Safari -> “Reset Safari” (make sure you clear everything).
3) Reboot your machine.
Try the misbehaving website…all should be well.
If not:
4) Safari -> “Reset Safari” (make sure you clear everything).
5) Exit Safari
6) In Finder go to ~/Library/Caches
   remove com.apple.Safari
7) In Finder go to /Library/Caches
    there may be a file or directory with “Safari” in name…remove it.
8) In Finder go to ~/Library/Preferences
     there may be a file com.apple.Safari.plist , remove it.
     there may be a file com.apple.Safari.Extensions.plist , remove it.
9) In Finder go to ~Library/Saved Application State
     there may be a file com.apple.Safari.savedState , remove it.
10) Reboot your machine.
Try the misbehaving website and all should be well.
If not:
11) Safari -> “Reset Safari” (make sure you clear everything).
12) In Finder go to ~/Library/Caches
    remove the file com.apple.nsservicescache.plist
13) Reboot your machine.
Try the misbehaving website and all should be well.
If not:
14) System Preferences -> Network -> Advanced -> DNS
    The IP Addresses here should be “greyed out” numbers.
    If they stand out as “black”, you may have a conflict with your ISPs DNS Servers.
    If they are in “black”,
    a) Note the numbers down on paper.
    b) Remove them
    c) Apply
    d) Check that the numbers are now “grey”.
15) Reboot your machine.
Try the misbehaving website and all should be well.
If it is anything else…you are on your own…
