Safari Loads Slow

Safari is very slow opening up (15 seconds). Any advice?

I have a windows XP machine and prefer to use Safari over Firefox but Safari takes 35 seconds to load the first time and 15 seconds the second time. (as instructed from you Reverse_Parn.) Firefox loads in 7 seconds. I have a imac running safari and it load very fast. Reverse_Parn, in layman's terms, why does Safari on the windows need so much time? And is that typical for a windows machine running safari? The reason I prefer safari over firefox is the font smoothing. I looked and couldn't find a font smoothing plug in for Firefox.

    Safari loads slow on Xtinity Comcast

    Safari on the iPhone 4 has been slow for me since the 4.3 updates. My Safari speed was ffaster on 4.2. The Facebook app on the iPhone constantly crashes and is a disaster. You can't directly edit information on your profile, and I use Voice Over, and when I attempt to comment directly on a friend's status on that friend's page, the comment buttons don't work. I can't even read comments written on my own profile. I can only comment on the newsfeed. There is also no like buttons when you look at a friend's status on that friend's wall. The app has crashed numerous times and has some major bugs. You are better off using Safari or the facebook app on the iPod Touch because for some reason, the app works better on the iPod Touch.

  • Safari Loading Slow... can't open certian sites

    Hi as usual I go here to get the best advice that has gotten me going again.... Can not open certain pages on Safari one of them for example www.segib.org, not able to do it with Camino either. Furthermore Safari seems slow and weird on tabbed browsing, if anybody is able to open the above link let me know...
    Thanks

  • Safari loading slow with yosemite

    Even after this latest update, Safari is loading incredibly slow since the OS X Yosemite upgrade.  Any suggestions as to how to get pages to load faster?  Sometimes they won't even load completely. 

    Tried clearing the cache, resetting network, switching between ethernet and wifi - still 10-20 sec delays on certain web pages - mostly places I hadn't visited in a while. Same pages loading on Firefox appeared instantly (I tried loading Safari first then Firefox first, each on a "new" page, trying to eliminate a DNS problem). I then wondered if the new “synchronized history” feature that uploads to iCloud could be the culprit.
    Everything Apple is busy on Christmas.  So I tried this:
    Open System Preferences
    Select iCloud
    un-Check Safari
    I assume this eliminates communication with iCloud every time you navigate to a new page.  Delays are now pretty much gone - seems much faster, even when I navigate to a site that I knew isn’t in the cache (a site I hadn’t visited since clearing).  Hoping that will fix the problem for now.

  • Safari Loads Slow Like On Facebook..Please help

    Whenever i go to facebook, the pages load very slow..this happends recently..it was not like this before. What could be the problem and what should I do? I don't know if this is happening because maybe I tapped somewhere where I was NOT supposed to touch on the screen or something. Also, am I supposed to clear cache or would that do it automatically? Please help.

  • IPad AIR 2 - SAFARI Loading slow when scrolling pages

    I'm having problems with my iPad AIR 2 with the slow loading web pages with scrolling up and down .
    The problem looks like the video posted on YouTube , the video shot by me.
    Sorry for my English.
    LINK YouTube: https://youtu.be/jYudjQwk7so

    so I went to the Genius Bar today
    the genius ran the usually diagnostic
    she said I had a memory issue
    she tried to blame it on some old backup restore
    but I've never used one
    i always start fresh on a new device manually (other than iCloud contacts and bookmarks)
    well she wouldn't listen and insisted she restore the device yet again
    ((vie already done it 2x in the last week)
    anyways things were fine for an hour
    tthe problem is now back
    i made another appointment for Monday
    know for a fact this issue does not affect every iPad air 2
    there are several in my family
    i am beginning to think its an issue with low performing ram
    ppossibly apple used two suppliers
    i don't want to fail victim to conspiracy theories
    but I am extremely ****** off and I will demand a new iPad on monday

    How much free space on the startup disk?
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you have a minimum of 15% free disk space.
    If you have anti virus software installed, that could be a factor.
    Try troubleshooting third party plugins. Safari: Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
    Do you have Little Snitch installed?

  • Safari hanging, loading slow upon startup..???

    anyone have this issue?

    If Safari is getting very slow:
    (Presumably you regularly empty your Safari cache and clear your History)
    Adding Open DNS codes to your Network Preferences, should give good results in terms of speed-up as well as added security:
    If you are using a single computer: Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu, and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' add the following two numbers:
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    (You can also enter them if you click on Advanced and then DNS)
    Sometimes reversing the order of the DNS numbers can be beneficial in cases where there is a long delay before web pages start to load, and then suddenly load at normal speed:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2296
    If your computer is part of a network: please refer to this page: http://www.opendns.com/start/bestpractices/#yournetwork and follow the advice given.
    You could also try these codes as well: 4.2.2.1 & 4.2.2.2
    If you use a Router, make sure it has the latest firmware installed.
    One reason for a slowness in page loading may be the 'DNS Pre-fetching' feature of Safari 5.x
    This is described here:

    If Safari seems to hang for ages:
    If you have a lot of tabs open and/or a lot of pages running Flash, Safari can sometimes 'hang', requiring a restart of Safari. This can often be inconvenient, and as it is rarely Safari itself that is hanging but merely one of its plug-ins, usually Flash, there is a way using Terminal to restart the plug-ins (without restarting Safari and losing your tabs) by quitting the WebPluginHost process:
    Open the Terminal from the Utilities folder in /Applications and type
    killall -9 WebKitPluginHost
    Note that this command kills all Safari plug-ins, not just Flash. All plug-ins should start back up when you reload the page.
    Then go back to Safari and refresh any pages that were using the Flash plug-in. This also fixes the Beachball of Death. Try this whenever Safari gets slow or freezes. The latest versions of Flash 10.1 appear to have improved the situation somewhat, but haven't completed eliminated it.

  • Why does my safari run slow with DSL?

    I recently had to change to DSL internet, and my macbook safari does not do well with it.
    I cannot seem to open more than one internet tab at a time, videos do not load, slow loading time for searching.
    Is there a way to fix this to where my safari is not so slow?
    Is it a macbook fix, or should I increase my DSL usage limit?
    My macbook is up to date.

    You will have to call the Internet Service Provider and let them test the line.
    Best.

  • Suddenly my firefox loads SO slowly. I launch firefox first and then Safari and Safari loads pages before firefox enen begins too. Also a LOT more adds show pages I looked at previously.

    Several weeks ago Firefox suddenly was / is very slow to load all pages. I launch Firefox. Wait. Launch Safari. Safari loads page while I am still waiting for Firefox.
    Why?

    Do you use NoScript? There's possibly an issue with NoScript where certain settings cause Firefox to load HTTPS pages on startup very slowly.

  • Safari in slow motion?

    I use Safari 5.06 and have a 60/60 Mbps line. When I start Safari I usually get my full 60/60 speed, but if I open three or four more windows, everything slows down to half speed or worse. Why? (I do understand that secure lines SSL etc. pages with much content like video etc, will take more bandwith but this is not an issue here)
    All help and suggestions is greatly appreciated!

  • Why is my Safari so slow

    I have recently upgraded to Tiger. Since doing so, web pages loading on Safari have slowed down drastically. Navigating from one web page to another has become painfully slow whereas it was almost instant previously (we have an excellent broadband service).
    I run a 17 inch G4 Powerbook with 1 GB RAM.
    Can I do anything to speed up my web access?

    Do not use "Reset Safari" unless you are prepared to lose all Internet passwords saved in your keychain.
    "Reset Safari" is intended for clearing personal information that may have been saved while using a public Internet terminal running Safari. While it can be used as a Safari troubleshooting action of last resort, it was not designed with that intent and one should backup their keychain first. See the AppleCare Knowledge Base document “Safari 2.0 Help: Resetting Safari.” Unfortunately, Reset Safari cannot be undone.
    Two other ways to speed up Safari:
    • Empty it's cache: Command-Option-E.
    • Quit and relaunch it if you've had it open for several days and visited many sites.
    Good luck!

  • Internet/Safari load trouble since ugrade (10.4.4)

    Since downloading the 10.4.4 software update yesterday, my pages are loading slower on Firefox and Explorer, with Safari sometimes not finding pages at all. Safari is my main browser, but three times, at startup, it couldn't even find the home page (google). I thought it was my connection, but then, firing up either of the other two browsers, Firefox or Explorer, it went immediately to google, no problem, no wait.
    Then it was slower on all three browsers when going beyond the home page. Anyone else experiencing this, and do you think it's connected to the upgrade?
