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 only partially loads certain web pages. The menu bar on a page is completely missing so I can't access any of the site

    where that white bar is above the login should be a menu bar. It never loads and I cannot access a number of pages on the site. Is there anyway to correct this?

    Hello Siobhan86,
    It looks like your iPad is not loading this webpage correctly all of a sudden. I would start by quitting Safari:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    If the issue persists, I would next clear the website data for Safari in Settings:
    Safari settings - iPad User Guide
    Go to Settings > Safari, where you can:
    Clear your history, cookies, and data
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

    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.

  • 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.

    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?

  • Windows Server 2008 R2 - Won't load certain web pages - Happens in all browers - Won't do windows updates

    This server (Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard with SP1) is used to host thin clients as well as RDP sessions.  One morning the office is fine, they come back from lunch and all of the sudden they can't load certain web pages, such as adobe.com
    and pandora.com to name a couple.  This was roughly 3 days ago. 
    1.)  I have tried machines that are not connected to this server (not thin client or RDP), but are on the same network, they can load up any web page fine with no issues.
    2.) On the server I have tried Opera, Chrome, IE and Firefox, all have the same exact problem.
    3.) Tried different DNS servers just to be sure, even though it only effects the server and no one else.
    Based on these facts I know that it is something wrong with the server, but not tied to a specific brower.  In all browsers when you load up a page in question it just sits there with a blank screen trying to load, it never generates any errors. 
    The Event Viewer is also clean, no errors.  So with no errors I have had trouble trying to find a starting place for this.  Things I have tried:
    1.) ipconfig /flushdns to try and clear out any DNS issues
    2.) Changing the DNS servers for the server to 8.8.8.8 and 4.2.2.2
    3.) Scanning for Viruses and Malware/Spyware
    4.) Checking proxy settings on the server
    5.) Updating and then removing Adobe Flash (thought it was tied to flash at first).  Problem persists even with no flash player installed.
    6.) Completed a failed update of .net, no effect
    7.) Loading up browsers in debug mode to try and find anything in the site code that I could relate between failed sites.  I found nothing I could identify
    Of all issues to finally be stumped on this seems like an easy one, but I can't even begin to come up with an idea at this point. 
    I have tried to lay out all of the facts that I know as plainly as I can.  I am hoping that someone has seen this before as this issue is effecting a number of differnt users and keeping them from doing portions of their job.
    Help is most appreciated, thank you!

    I was able to figure out a solution.
    CAUSE:
    It appears that the Internet isn’t fully up to date and ready to use EDns -- which is enabled on Windows Server 2008 R2 by default. The solution for this is to disable Edns. Note that this isn’t
    a problem for most Windows Server 2008 R2 member servers.  It’s only a problem for DNS *servers* that do recursive lookups.  i.e. likely only your domain controller will be affected if that is where your DNS Server role exists.
    SOLUTION:
    To disable EDns, you can do it from the command prompt, or by editing the registry.
    Create a DWORD called EnableEDNSProbes and set to 0 in HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\DNS\Parameters
    Restart the DNS Server service for it to take effect.

  • 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?

  • Safari 6 Won't Load Certain Web Pages

    I have installed Mountain Lion on two machines. One is working great. But, on the other, there are certain web pages that won't load in Safari 6.

    I've reset Safari and cleaned up cache using OnyX. Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice would be appreciated.
    Thanks, Greg

    I'm thinking it may be a DNS issue. I cleared my DNS cache using OnyX and my problem went away. OnyX is a free utility and is very useful. You can get it here:

  • Safari is not opening certain web pages

    Why isn't Safari opening certain web pages?

    If you are using any non-Apple "anti-virus" software, uninstall it according to its instructions and do not reinstall it.
    There are a variety of other potential reasons for that message. First try restarting your Mac in "Safe Mode" (see below). Attempt to load the same webpage again. If that works it will reduce the number of potential causes.
    Determine if the problems also occur in "Safe Mode":
    Safe Mode or "Safe Boot" is a troubleshooting mode that bypasses all third party system extensions and loads only required system components. Read about it: Starting up in Safe Mode
    You must disable FileVault before you can start your Mac in Safe Mode.
    Starting your Mac in Safe Mode will take longer than usual, graphics will not render smoothly, audio is disabled on some Macs, and some programs (iTunes for example) may not work at all.
    Merely starting your Mac in Safe Mode is not intended to resolve the problem, it's to observe its performance without certain additional components.
    To end Safe Mode restart your Mac normally. Shutdown will take longer as well.

  • Safari won't open certain web pages

    Hi,
    I can't get Safari to open certain web pages. This has only been the case for the last week or so, I could happily view them before.
    2 examples are : www.facebook.com and www.quaysws.co.uk
    can anybody please help, it just seems a bit weird...

    I just got this link, http://www.quaysws.co.uk/flash/page1.php,
    to open in both Safari and Firefox. Mind you at the same time, I cannot get Apple.com to open in Safari I'm running Leopard with Safari 3.0.4. Whoa Safari just decided that Apple.com does exist and opened it without me first having to restart the computer. Safari definitely has some bugs but you may want to make sure that you don't have any 3rd party add-ons set up and you may have to reinstall.

  • Safari will not load any web pages

    I choose safari and the apple home page comes up. 
    The problem is when I want to go to yahoo or TSN web pages they do not totally load and keeps reloading 3 or 4 times and then Safari comes up and says>
    "Safari cannot display this web page"   and
    "Safari has repeatedly encountered an error while trying to display"
    Can anyone tell me what I need to do to correct this?

    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. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
    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(s)?
    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 in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. 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.
    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. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    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.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    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.

  • Iphone 6 won't load certain web pages displays hyperlink 'GO' and nothing else

    II've just upgraded to an iPhone 6 although I had the same issue with my iPhone 5 just before I changed phones.
    WHen I am connected to wifi, my phone will not open certain weblinks within Facebook app and displays a blank white screen with the word 'go' and nothing else. When I click 'go' nothing happens.
    Also within my Guardian app, the banner adverts display the same (blank with the word GO)
    I'm not very technical but it seems to have a problem with shortened weblinks.
    ALso the phone is slow to load web pages when I'm on wifi and I often have to reload and reload to get anywhere in Safari.
    I don't seem to have the same problem when I'm using 3G.
    Thanks for any advice in advance.

    My wifi is through Sky but it can't be that as it doesn't happen on my iPad or on my husband's iPhone.
    When I look it is redirecting to the page anrdoezr.net rather than the page I want.

  • Can't load certain WEB pages via a wireless internet connection

    I have a 17 inch PowerBook G4 running OS X 10.4.8 and am unable to get to certain WEB sites such as Microsoft.com. I have no problem getting to and loading most other WEB sites using Safari, Netscape or Firefox browsers with this computer. I also have 15 inch PowerBook G4 that is running OS X 10.3.9. The 15 inch computer has no problem getting to and loading WEB pages at sites I'm unable to open with my 17 inch G4. My connection to the internet is via a wireless network using Apple's Airport Extreme Basestation to connect to the DSL modem. When I connect my 17 inch G4 directly to the modem, I have no problem loading WEB pages I could not previously load using my wireless network. I trashed the System Configuration folder in the Library/Preferences directory, but this made no difference to my problem.
    Does anyone have any idea as to what is going on?

    Are you using the latest Airport driver (check via Software Update)?
    Have you tried resetting the Airport unit via AirPort Admin Utility.app in your Applications/Utilities folder?

  • Safari slow to open up web page

    When I open safari, it takes a while (20 to 30 secs) to load it's first website (the home page). Once it opens, I have no problem navigating the web. My internet speed is around 6 mps, so that's not the problem. Help!!

    You're welcome.
    Go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem. Safari: Add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
    Web pages now include a small icon or 'favicon' which is visible in the address bar and next to bookmarks. These icons take up disk space and *slow Safari down*. It is possible to erase the icons from your computer and start fresh. *To delete Safari's icon cache using the Finder, open your user folder, navigate to ~/Library/Safari/ and move this file "webpageIcons.db to the Trash.*
    Relaunch Safari. If it's not a third party plugin issue, go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop. Relaunch Safari.
    If it's ok... the move that .plist file to the Trash.
