Safari loads webpages slow UNLESS 'x' and reload = Fast

I am using an iPhone 5 with 6.0.2.
LTE network
I find that mobile Safari is extremely slow to load webpages when entering a new address. What really speeds up the process is if i 'X' the loading, then immediately hit the Reload icon in the address bar. When I do this, the websites load nearly instantaneously.
Any ideas how I can get fast loading websites without this workaround?
Thanks in advance

Hi Tricia and welcome to the forums!
The following usually works on both Tiger and Leopard:
Empty Safari's cache (from the Safari menu), then close Safari.
Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete the following files:
form values
download.plist
Then go to Home/Library/Preferences and delete
com.apple.Safari.plist
Repair permissions (in Disk Utility).
Start up Safari again, and things should have improved.
If not, MacFixit have published a very detailed (very!) article on speeding up a slow Safari, here:
http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20070416000657464
Many, including me, have also followed the advice given by others here to add DNS codes to their Network Settings, with good results in terms of speed-up:
Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu. Click on TCP/IP and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' enter the following two numbers:
208.67.222.220
208.67.220.222
Click on Apply Now and close the window.
Restart Safari, and repair permissions.

thank you thank you for taking an interest. this is so frustrating.
i only have apple keyboard, mighty mouse, and 20 inch cinema display connected. this morning took out memory and tried to boot up with individual pairs in the first bank. first the (2)256, the (2) 1g, and then the other (2) 1g modules. everytime I get the weird fuzzy wheel under the logo after a while, black screen flashes, then grey apple logo fuzzy screen then black forever.
I ran tiger updates this morn. still will only boot to safe mode. then tried to run leopard disk to install it
will not boot from leopard disk.
tried safe boot, then doulble click install leopard, restart, then the saga repeats with the pixely red square around the wheel.
these are fresh drives with only what came on instll disk loaded.
thanks again for taking an interest.
i love this system(well at least i did). I want to install leopard on my powerbook too but am terrified to do so right now since it is working and I have work to do. Can't afford to have no computer to do my work on...self employment is great?!
This is making me crazy. I anxiously await your words of wisdom.

Why can't Safari load webpages while Bluetooth is on?

I have a Mac Mini Mid 2007 running 10.6.8
Safari refuses to load webpages while Bluetooth is on. This is quite troublesome because I use a Magic Mouse and Wireless Keyboard.
When I turn off Bluetooth and hook up a wired mouse and keyboard, Safari loads the webpages just fine.
Does anyone know how I can fix this?
Thanks in advance!

Hi, see if it's the Service order...
10.5.x/10.6.x/10.7.x instructions...
System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order.
The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list.

Initially Firefox was fast; since I downloaded 3.6.12 loading webpages takes more time and this is frustrating. What do I do to gain back the speed?

Firefox can take up to a minute to load my web page, sometimes longer. Sometimes I have to go back and reload to get to my destination. I have a clean, debugged, reasonably fast computer. Connectivity is not a problem. However, since loading 3.6.12 the speed is considerably slowed. When this happened before, I went back to Explorer because the speed does not slow with that search engine. I would like to stay with Firefox. What can I do or check?

Firefox is comparable to other browsers in terms of time except in startup. It took 60 seconds before I saw Firefox reappear and another 12 seconds to see this tab among my 12 tabs that were open. I used "[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/restartless-restart/ Restartless Restart]" extension to close and restart Firefox. My laptop is a single core machine purchased Jan 2010.
I know I could improve the my startup time by changing the options on one of my extensions, Infolister, or more if I [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/infolister_listing_fx4.htm#extensions disabled all 78] of my enabled extensions then it would be a faster browser but wouldn't do much for me.
One of the things that was found was that all of those fonts that we have available slows down the start-up of Firefox. I don't know if we see any improvements in Firefox 4 or 5 based on that yet though.
If you install really large extensions on your machine, and it is difficult to see how large an extension is if it is not at addons, then you are going to have lots of problems. You always want to be aware of what is listed in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problematic_extensions Problematic extensions] and why it was listed to know if it applies to you.
At least your time seems comparable to mine. Often when I see someone "complaining" about their time, it looks more like bragging about how fast their machine is.

Safari load times slower under Snow Leopard?

Has something recently changed?
Safari used to be very snappy- suddenly pages are taking forever to load.
The first days I ran SL- all seemed fine.
The last few days- major hang-ups.
I have three machines and it happening across the board.

Greetings,
It's probably the Top Sites and Cover Flow features caching all those web pages; that can slow things down quite a bit. And if you don't clear your History before you quit every day, that cache just keeps getting larger. You might want to consider disabling those features and removing their cache of web page preview images.

FF v28 loads very slow even on a screamingly fast brand new PC, hardly anything loaded on the OS. Patched Win7 640-bit and still slow.

IE10 and Chrome load uber fast, but FF takes forever.. even disabled everything and it still loads slow.

I'm no noobie to this.. I know how to support software issues. Done all the usual optimizations and chrome and IE load ultra fast..Firefox white screens for a few seconds when launched before it loads it's homepage. Even switched home pages, no change. Google is the home page, so there is almost nothing to slow it down .. everything points to v28 is just slowly built.

Safari loads some pages very slowly and freezes

My mid 2007 iMac , 10.8.2, Safari 10.6.2, is not loading web pages completely . It also freezes up in Safari with the pinwheel. I get various Safari error messages. What gives?

It seemed to start a few weeks ago or maybe a month or so. after an apple update . i cant say which.
I went to the adobe site and it id'd my 10.8.2 and said my installed player was the most current version. 10.602 i think
There are other issues with other sites. I will keep a note pad next to the comp amd make notes for the next few days and report back,
Thank you for your help.
The imac is five years old, I have updated it to the latest and greatest as offfered by apple. I had one gig of ram, ( dont laugh), i upgraded to two !
I am happy I got five trouble free years out of it.
Is it time to upgrade?

TS3408 Safari, loading too slow or partially only

Its becoming very frustrating, since it's ALL the time, that either it's only a partial loading of the page.
Also I've noticed that even when I type, the text is delayed on the screen.
Anyone experiencing the same?
Or any suggestions on how to fix it??
Thanks!!

Make sure you have the latest version of the operating system. I had the same miss you once I upgraded to Mac OS XSafari work like a charm.

I just bought a new I mac but when I try to go on facebook through Safari the webpage does not open and instead I get : safari cannot connect to the server (Safari no puede conectarse al servitor). How can I solve this problem? Please help. Thank you

Please help

It might have something to do with Proxies. Have a look in System Preferences>Network, click on your network - either ethernet or wifi - and click on the Proxies tab. Anything selected in there. If so deselect and then try.
Have you tried using another brrowser, maybe Chrome or Firefox?

Browsing in Safari has gone slow, Chrome 5 is super fast, how do I fix it?

Hi everyone,
I've been experiencing slow browsing speeds in Safari for some time now, and I've always thought that it was my ISP. Eventually I got used to it and I stopped worrying about it. Today I downloaded Chrome 5 out of curiosity and I was blown away! I mean, this thing is so instant on almost every page! Then I remembered that Safari used to be somewhat like that some long time ago...
So what on earth is going on, how do I fix it? I don't want to have to rely on Chrome because that doesn't fix iTunes, which is equally slow when browsing the iTunes store. When I mean slow, I don't mean that it is unusable like some other people have reported. It's maybe x5 times slower than Chrome. I.e., pages don't just appear instantly, but I can instead see the individual images and text that comprise them taking their time to load. Some benchmarking in the developer tools shows that the delay is attributed to both longer latency times per resource, and at times actual loading times too. Benchmarking a complex page reveals that it needs 1.2sec in Chrome 5, and almost 5sec in Safari 5 on my computer. So there is certainly something weird going on there.
I have tried a few things that have been suggested to others, but none worked. Also, the DNS in my preferences points to the router within my intranet, not to some bizarre external site (i.e., 192.168.0.1). I am connected to the router with a cable. The problem first appeared long time ago when I was working on a MacBook Pro. The problem persist till today on my iMac 27", which came fresh with OS X 10.6.3 - I did use the migration wizard though to transfer all my stuff from my Mac Book Pro to the new iMac. I can verify that the problem persists even with Safari 5, without any plugins added to it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Dimitris

I haven't installed any plugins as far as I can remember. I tried looking for menu "HOME > Library > Plugins" in Safari, but could not locate it. Perhaps it is a path in the file system? In that case, I don't have a Plugins subfolder (i.e., I only have <home folder>/Library/).
A also just tried OpenDNS out of curiosity, and there was no improvement. Chrome however became just slightly slower. Also, I would like to alert other members of the forum that may read this thread, that openDNS makes money by selling their browsing preferences to advertising agencies (refer to their small print for more details). I also tried Google's similar service (http://www.chromeplugins.org/google/chrome-talk/google-dns-8877.html) which is supposed to respect privacy (again, according to their terms and conditions), however that still did not improve the situation. Again, Chrome was just slightly slower. At the least, I was very pleasantly surprised to find out that my ISP offers really fast DNS resolution

TS1398 My iPad runs slow some days and super fast other days.

All of a sudden my iPad takes about 20 minutes to load a 5 minute video from youtube. And then a day later it can download HD videos in seconds. I always have full wifi strength and my wifi antenna is dual band and very powerful. I have the new iPad and I haven't downloaded any new software to anything on or connected to my iPad. I don't know why it is acting up all of a sudden. My pc works fine and will download the same video ten times as fast. And also a new thing with my iPad is it will insert the last 2 words of my last sentence into my next sentence. Why is this all happening?

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

Safari 7 in mavericks loading pages slow

My safari loads pages slow (not every page). The blue progress bar is stuck at half way. But other browsers like chrome, firefox load the same page fast. And if I turn private browsing on, the same page loads as fast as the other browsers. I have tried every solution I have searched, but still can not solve this problem. any one encountered the same situation?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. The question is whether Safari is still slower than other browsers.
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Update to IOS 6 has been a nightmare. Facebook would allow me to save pictures unless I granted access to my foto album. Does this mean my pictures are going be planted all over the web? The safari keeps crashing and loading is slow.

update to IOS 6 has been a nightmare. Facebook would allow me to save pictures unless I granted access to my foto album. Does this mean my pictures are going be planted all over the web? The safari keeps crashing and loading is slow. Most infuriating is that YouTube was deleted from my entertainment apps and I now have to pay for it if I want it back!! This is a bloody disgrace.

Back up all data.
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with proxy servers, or with networks that require a certificate for authentication.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, follow the prompts to reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.

Safari is loading webpages extremely slow and not loading images...

Not loading webpages a lot of the time and not loading images on sites such as Facebook, Twitter, etc. I'm new to Mac and I'm running Safari on a Mac Mini. Help? Also deleted ~/Libraries/Safari and it didn't work.

Please answer as many of the following questions as you can.
1. Have you restarted your router and broadband modem since you first noticed the problem? If the answer is no, do that now and see whether there's any change.
2. Are any other web browsers installed, and are they also slow?
3. What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
4. Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they also slow?
5. If you can test Safari on another network, is it slow there too?
6. 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?
