Safari loads portable web page

Since updating to Yosemite and Safari8, occasionally Safari loads what appears to be the portable web page rather then the desktop version. This displays the web site as a very oversized page. The only way I can recover is to restart safari, logging onto the same site as before now works OK. Is anyone else seeing this happening?

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data...
and confirm. Test.

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.

Safari will not finish loading some web pages

I just bought a new macbook pro. As soon as I got it I started installing programs I use (photoshop, lightroom, Chrome, Firefox, etc). It seemed that from the beginning Safari didn't work properly, but in reading more about my problem maybe it's because I have downloaded programs that changed Safari.
Some web pages work fine, but some don't. For instance, even the Apple.com site won't load all the way in Safari. Links or images will be missing. I tried to fill out a form and when I got to the bottom of the page the "submit" button was missing and I couldn't submit the form. I try the same page in Chrome and it works just fine. Firefox is even worse at loading the website though.
I've been trying to read other people's questions to figure it out but no one seems to have the exact same problem. I tried changing the DNS and reinstalling Safari and it made no difference. Then I read some advice from Linc Davis to create a guest user. I tried loading Apple.com in Safari under the guest user and it worked perfect. Then I tried booting in safe mode as Linc Davis suggested others do and I still had the same problem with Safari, no improvement. At least I think I was in safe mode. I turned off my computer and when I turned it back on and heard the chime I held down the shift key. The grey apple screen came up with the gear turning, but when it came to the log in screen it didn't say "safe mode." Is there any indication to tell you you are indeed in safe mode?
Any way I restarted normally and can't figure out how to fix Safari. Any suggestions? Linc Davis?

To anyone who has this same question, I had to find the answer on my own and thought I would post it for you. I was kind of annoyed that Apple wouldn't even try to help me. After searching forever on Apple's support pages I finally did a google search and went to some outside sources to find the answer. I narrowed down that the problem Safari was having was not being able to load images on any website.
Here was the solution:
I opened Finder
Opened the Go menu and held down the option key to open the hidden Library folder
Opened Preferences
Then I deleted all the com.apple.Safari files (there were 4)
Ta Dah! Safari instantly works again. Hope this can help someone else out in my predicament.

I've installed the new safari and it didnt load any web pages

i've installed the new safari and it didnt load any web pages and i dont knw wut to do thank and pleas help as quick as possible

Hello,
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
Let us know after that what happens.

Safari Slow to Load Certain Web Pages

Has anyone found a fix for the web pages that get "stuck"

This has been an ongoing problem in Safari v2.0x with OS X v10.4. However, I would describe this as "Safari stalls when loading Web pages." It seems like it may happen on certain pages, but it has been my experience that this can happen on any Web page at any give time: In fact, it just happened when I tried to load the Safari Discussions forum page!
- Safari attempts to load a Web page
- Progress bar in address field stalls at mid-point or later
- Web page never finishes loading but sometimes, if you're patient, it takes a minute or more to load, but eventually finishes
- More often, cancelling the page load (Command/Period) and then immediately hitting Command/R (or selecting Reload Page from the View menu) usually loads the page immediately!
Once, I thought it might be favicons, but I had just reset that folder to Read Only. Also, I just used Font Book to Resolve Duplicate Fonts before seeing it happen again. This is pretty frustrating, and never seems to get better.

Safari wont load any web pages

I've been using both Safari (2.x) and Firefox in my MBP for a coupel of months w/o problems. Now all the sudden Safari will not load any web pages. FX still works ok. Has anyone had a simialr problem? It's almost like Safari doesnt recognize you are connected to the internet.

Same thing to me!
I downloaded it 3 days ago, installed it and it never worked. The option to set up the proxy server was grayed out. My IE and firefox are working perfectly (of course I set up the proxy server on each browser), basically Safari doesn't open any web page. I'd like try this browser but I don't have idea how configure it, if anybody knows how to, I'll appreciate it.

Safari not loading some web pages

Got a problem with Safari where it won't load certain web pages. This happens when I try to click on the buy button on certain web sites (such as Amazon), but not on all web sites. Safari tries to load the page but stops before any content is downloaded. I've tried re-installing the software, re-setting Safari, emptying the cache, cookies are enabled, and proxies are unchecked. If I run Internet Explorer I can access the pages that Safari won't download. Anyone got any suggestions????
eMac Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Do you have Little Snitch installed? If so, check the Little Snitch preference panel (under System Preferences) to make sure that there are not any Little Snitch rules denying Safari access to any ports. If only HTTPS sites are being effected, specifically check the rule for Port 443, as Safari needs Little Snitch to allow connections to that.
I am not sure, but I think the update changed these rules around, at least on my computer.

Safari won't load some web pages.

Ever since installing Mavericks, Safari won't load some web pages (including these Apple support pages). I'm able to load the pages using Chrome or Firefox. Does anyone know of any settings in Safari 7 or the Mavericks system preferences that would be causing this?
-Greg

I had the same problem... I ran disk repair and repaired all permissions on the HD then reopened safari now it's working fine.

Safari wont open web pages

When opening certain web pages I get an error that says '.....safari can't open.....because safari can't find the server.....'
Does anyone know what is causing this?
Thanks

You are likely having a networking problem or a specific web site problem and not a problem with Safari. Some web pages (those that you have visited before) may still seem to load because all web browsers "cache" pages you have alread visited.
If you have another web browser like Google Chrome you should try that first and see if the same pages load. If they don't load then it's likely your Internet connection instead of Safari.
Then, try a few major web sites directly in Safari by typing in "google.com" in the address bar and hit [return]. Then, try, "amazon.com". If those load, then it's likely just a problem with specifis web servers. You'll just need to wait and try later. If those sites do not load, then continue on with these steps.
To see if you are having an internet connectivity problem, open "Applications" > "Utilities" > "Terminal". Then type "ping 8.8.8.8" (do not type to quotes) and hit the return key. Wait about 10 seconds and then hit [control] and [c] keys at the same time to end the output.
If the last few lines of output say something like ...
"--- 8.8.8.8 ping statistics ---
4 packets transmitted, 4 packets received, 0.0% packet loss"
... then your Internet connectivity is fine, but you could be having a DNS server problem. To troubleshoot that, try changing your DNS servers form the defaults provided by your ISP, to more reliable servers of Google:
Open "System Preferences" > "Network" > "Advanced" > "DNS", then click the "+" button under DNS Servers, type in "8.8.8.8", and then click "OK".
Then try those web sites again. If they work, then great, you can leave things this way perminently. If that doesn't solve the issue then you likely have an Internet outage that your ISP will need to solve for you.

Problems loading certain web pages

Lately, in the past week or two, I have been noticing that Safari wont load certain web pages. It jsut stops and then I get a blank white page with no error message. I have noticed this mostly with Facebook, but also found the same problems with Evite.com when I click the login link. I have tried using Firefox and it seems to d better, especially with Facebook, but it did hang up on it one time. I cant get to the login page on Evite with either browser. I am using OpenDNS, but dont have these things blocked. I can access them fine from a PC laptop through the same connection via my wireless modem.

HI,

Open Keychain Access (Applications/Utiities). Select Passwords on the left then delete the Evite under Names on the right. Launch Safari or Firefox, go to the Evite site and login. After typing in your password, click Always Allow
I opened Keychain, but there is nothing in there for Evite under passwords?
Try Safari Maintenance
Repair disk permissions...
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
Tried this, but still having problems in both Safari and Firefox. Facebook seems to be random, more often not working than it is. Still no login page with Evite?

My MacBook Pro won't load any web page I have restarted and safe booted still nothing

My MacBook Pro will not load any web pages. Safari opens but when I click on top sites or type in a website it will start but not get past half of the address before stopping and going no further. I have restarted and restarted in safe boot and still no change. I'm am connected to the internet wirelessly and my iPad mini is connecting to the internet wirelessly fine, so I think the internet is fine. What can I try next?
Thanks

2-3 minutes to load a web page

I got a macpro with retina display several months ago and it has disasterous web surfing capability. I timed myself and it took me 6 minutes to get through the apple website to post this! I just timed an attempt to resolve www.cnn.com and it took 160 seconds. This brings back mind-numing memories of AOL and 28,800 baud rates.
I cannot imagine --anyone-- would put up with this kind of performance but I cannot get this fixed. On my home Windows PC I can get to this page in under ten seconds. On my corporate work network with a PC; I can get to it even faster.
The Macpro performance is terrible on my corporate network and at home. The performance is terrible with both wired and wireless. I have reset Safari. I have cleared the cache. I have diabled the cache. I have never added a single extension. I have ensured there are no bad/duplicate DNS servers. After all of this I loaded Chrome and it's performance is even worse than Safari!
I called my company helpdesk and said the performance was terrible and after several hours they just gave up trying to fix it. I told them it must be a hardare failure and they need to replace the mac pro. They said this is a common complaint with Macs! I am ready to junk this thing and go back to a corporate Lenovo piece of junk running windows 7. At least it can resolve web pages in milliseconds instead of literally multiple minutes.
COnsidering how many dozens of hours I have spent on this maddening issue (surfing the web on my WIndows PC and trying to fix this mac):
Please don't tell me to fiddle with safari because chrome is worse
Please don't tell me to fiddle with wireless, because it is no better wired with wireless disabled
Please don't tell me to fiddle with routers because it is just as bad on corporate and home networks.
Please don't tell me to update to the latest OS version because I am running 10.8.3
So last call for anyone who has any suggestions on how to fix this...
-Robert

Thomas A Reed:
After two months of trying, your suggestion to boot into safe mode is a breakthrough!
While in Safe Mode I can actually load this web page in 5-6 seconds. I spent the last few minutes bouncing all over the web watching web pages draw within seconds.
This proves that the hardware is ok and there is some application which is killing my ability to load a web page. It effects Safari, Chrome and I even loaded Firefox and all of them are similarly crippled. Therefore, it is not something misconfigured in any browser, or some cache issue. Since I can download files at regular speed, it is unlikely a network driver issue.
I do not have anti-virus software running on the machine. I don't know of any network filtering applications so I am not sure what those might be, but at least I have something to debug now.
My thanks to you for your insight here! i sincerely appreciate your help.
