Slow loading on website

I am new to Quicktime Pro, but have found it very easy to use with great quality results endoding my FC files for the web. My problem is that when a user clicks to open my video sample, the file has a very slow load time. Some specifics:
input file: 1.8 GB file exported from FCE as uncompressed 8-bit
output file: in QTPro - encoded with H.264, 15 fps, 100 key frame, 800 kbps, set for streaming (fast start), 640X480, deinterlacing checked. file size 8 MB.
As I said, the quality is great (except that the deinterlacing filter doesn't seem to do anything), but the playback outpaces the load very quickly. It takes almost 2-3 minutes for the file to be ready to start automatically. I've been told that an 800 kbps file should load in a few seconds.
Is there anything you could tell me to enhance the load time? I'm wondering if I'm missing a simple step since QT has been so easy to start to use.
Thanks so much for your help!! Jo

Nothing at all wrong with your QuickTime file but your html code at http://aftglow.com/ directly links to it rather than calling the quickTime browser plug-in.
That may be the source of your troubles. You need to use special html page code for QuickTime:

Suddenly slow loading of websites and RBB in Safari and Chrome

I'm working with a MBPro 17" 2009, Mavericks 10.9.4 and suddenly RAM seems to be full especially when using Chrome or Safari Broswers. I know there is a problem with a sector of my hard drive, this is an old story; the slow web page loading and rotating beach ball are new. My ethernet connection is reasonably fast, 29 ms ping + 6mbps down + 2mbps up. I tested DNS with name bench and changed to the fastest servers.
Occasionally also seeing this slowness with iPhoto, or when moving photos to an email, etc.
Posted below is my EtreCheck summary and also a snapshot of a SmartUtility run tonight, which indicates the hard drive problem.
One thing I notice is that even after uninstalling Chrome (which had become practically impossible to use), I still see some references to Chrome as a user login item and internet plug-in. I don't know how to remove these, if that would help. (Uninstalling Chrome helped.)
Also attached are screenshots of Activity Monitor showing CPU usage and Memory usage.
Thanks for any advice.

are you suggesting a used hard drive?
No; $35 is sufficient for a brand new 320 GB internal hard disk drive with a warranty. Another $19 will buy one with three times that capacity. Do not buy "used".
And do you think this is the problem I've described?
It is a problem that must be corrected before addressing anything else that could be a contributing factor. It is premature to conclude it is the only problem though.
Consider yourself fortunate in that you have been given advance warning of its impending doom, and that you already have a Time Machine backup. Hard disk drives often fail with no warning at all. They are all wear items that should be considered disposable, given their replacement cost.

Safari is INCREDIBLY slow loading my website.

So, for the last few months (since I updated to the latest version of Safari, as far as I can tell), my personal website (maxwelltielman.com) has been loading INCREDIBLY slowly in Safari. Basically, it will load the top half of the site's images, but stall about half way down, usually until the browser displays a message. This does not occur on any other browser and seems to be happening only to my own personal website. I've tried using safari on many, many other computers (my school is all mac) all with the same results. I tried removing elements of the site (tables, rows of images, etc) all to no avail. Ocassionally, I can get the site to load, but if I hit refresh or empty my cache, I get the same problems. I can not for the life of me figure out what is going on here, but it is incredibly frustrating. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

The W3C site validation tool shows 90 errors and 2 warnings on your home page. Safari is somewhat less tolerant of such things than some other browsers.

New MacBook Pro is sometimes slow loading a website

I got a MacBook Pro for Christmas and have noticed that sometimes (not everytime) it takes forever to load a certain page. It doesn't happen to a certain website just at random times. My wifi is perfectly fine too. I use Google Chrome by the way. Please please please help me!

I get the message:
Google Chrome could not load the webpage because google.com took too long to respond. The website may be down, or you may be experiencing issues with your Internet connection.
Check your Internet connection.
Check any cables and reboot any routers, modems, or other network devices you may be using.
Allow Chrome to access the network in your firewall or antivirus settings.
If it is already listed as a program allowed to access the network, try removing it from the list and adding it again.
If you use a proxy server...
Check your proxy settings or contact your network administrator to make sure the proxy server is working. If you don't believe you should be using a proxy server: Go to Applications > System Preferences > Network > Advanced > Proxies and deselect any proxies that have been selected.
Error code: ERR_TIMED_OUT

Website slow loading

So I am having a problem with one website that I frequent. It it much slower loading than other websites I visit. The progress bar seems to freeze for several seconds. Sometimes if I hit the x then the reload symbol the page loads right away. I have asked other people, it is a forum site, if they have had problems lately and nobody has experienced the slow loading problem I have. One person suggested clearing the history which I did. That didn't work so I researched the web and found a suggestion to delete the cache from the library and also clear history. I did that as well and nothing has improved. It only happens on this one site and has only started happening in the last two maybe three weeks.
Any suggestions on what else I could try? I do not want to use another browser to see if it works in another browser. It used to work fine but doesn't now. Just looking for other things I could try to resolve the issue.

Start up in Recovery mode. In the OS X Utilities screen, select Get Help Online. A clean copy of Safari will launch. No plugins, such as Flash, will be available. While in Recovery, you'll have no access to your saved bookmarks or passwords, so make a note of those before you begin, if they're needed for the test.
Test. After testing, restart as usual and post the results.

Slow loading website

So I just finished my website but it loads piece by piece and
a slower than I would have liked. is there anyway to improve this
that would not require me redoing it all over? The site is here:
http://www.martinpaulphotography.com/index.html
thanks,
Martin.

A couple of things:
(1) If the music is in your flash file, you can delay it a
few frames. Too much in the first frame slows loading. You might
consider adding a volume X button for those that want to browse w/
sound.
(2) Optimize the images of your page. There are a lot of them
which is one of the reasons for the slow load.
Is that your musical composition? If not, you should post
your use with permission on the front page to oblige the author's
permission. If you don't have that....lose the music. Be careful
here, especially with professional sites.

My internet isn't working anymore, its not the wifi but the actual computer safari and google chrome. Its not loading particular websites, and if it is loading them, they are different to how they use to be. Computer was slow yesterday as well

my internet isn't working anymore, its not the wifi but the actual computer safari and google chrome. Its not loading particular websites, and if it is loading them, they are different to how they use to be. Computer was slow yesterday as well and took about 4 hours to finally be able to shut down and close everything. Does anyone know how to fix this? Im going into exams and need my internet to work
Thanks

I dont know if your allowed to show images here but if you are then these pictures will show you what happens.
This is what happens when I turn on my iMac (normal)
This is what happens a few seconds after I turn on my iMac
Here it is up close
Hopefully these pictures will help you understand what's been hapening on my iMac when I turn it on.
Thanks

Very slow at loading any website if it loads at all

Everytime I load Firefox , lately it has been very slow at loading a website and sometimes it take so long that it times out. It has also looked like it loaded a wed page but it will not load the whole page
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== a couple days ago

When the Magic mouse is connected to the macbook, loading every website gets so slow.

Hello!
When I connect the Magic mouse to my Macbook pro, loading any website gets so slow, it takes a lot of time to loads. When I disconnect the Magic mouse from the Macbook the loading of any website gets fast and normal.
Nothing is installed in my Macbook, I've bought this mac before 3 days, and bought the mouse yesterday.
I'm using the bluetooth Magic mouse.

Hello,

I thought ff4 was suppose to be faster than 3.6 but it is slower loading and getting to websites. Are ther certain add-ons that could be affecting ff4 that did not affect 3.6?

ff4 generally slower loading and loading pages.

same problem here for the past two days till this morning when I created a new profile and removed ALL addons from the default profile. With the new profile with NO addons, I got to the sites with video that I had problem with and flash player did work.
Now, I only have three addons that have not created the problem; adblock, flashgot, and flashblock.
Create a new profile and check it out.

Firfox 8 is sometimes very slow to load random websites and others it loads quickly, IE8 loads all websites ok. Have cleared cookies and cache and allowed ff as exception in Windows firewall.

I use FF 8.0 (x86en-US) as default browser, since update to 8.0 FF intermittently takes ages to load some websites, sometimes not loading the site at all. To rectify this I go back one page to the Google results or hyperlink and ask FF to load the webpage again. This usually solves the problem but not always. I have cleared cookies and cache and added FF to exceptions in windows firewall. The websites affected are not always the same and some that load quickly one day can take ages next time. IE8 loads all websites OK. Antivirus and malware scans all clear.

Firefox takes a long time to load a website and sometimes won't open at all

Firefox is running really slow and takes ages to load a website if it loads at all, i'm having the same problem with other browsers but Skype and Windows Messenger are working fine. I've reset my wireless a number of times but this doesn't solve the problem. It was fine earlier today but since this evening every time i attempt to open a website it won't work.

Can you check your Windows Firewall settings? It's possible that it's routing Firefox requests differently. At least one other Firefox user has reported that his Windows Firewall was set to block Firefox 3.6.

Email Send/Receive causes slow access to website host server. Any Suggestions?

Hello Community.
"Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth."
I have a bit of a weird problem and though it sounds silly, I'm 99% certain of the cause. My business migrated our five different sites to a new web host (shared hosting) about 5 months ago. Since then we've been plagued by a localised speed issue with connecting to that host. The host is a reasonably good one, but for some reason when connecting on our local network ONLY we were having intermittent load problems; anywhere for instant load to 40-50 seconds. After much testing we have arrived at an improbable conclusion; That accessing webmail (e.g. clicking Send/Receive) on any Mac within our network causes a massive and immediate slow-down of website access and smtp connection to any of our five sites held on the shared hosting server.
Again, I know how strange that sounds, but we've essentially proved it based on ping tests and side by side comparisons of isolated computers. The ONLY computers that are affected are the Macs on the network and also mobile browsers on multiple platforms. Windows based PCs are not affected by the slow down.
Also, the problem seems to be access based. By that I mean, one a site is accessed it loads almost instantly, but it can take up to 40 seconds of white screen before the site is reached. Interestingly, during this time, the sites' ping speeds are perfectly normal UNTIL the moment when the page is finally accessed and it loads instantly. Once the load triggers the ping speeds increase dramatically to the point where they occasionally time out. Once the site is loaded the ping speeds return to normal (approx 22 ms).
... help!
Important: Things we've ruled out:
ISP is not a factor (used a 3G modem to rule this out)
Router is not a factor (see above)
Switch is not a factor (Tested different switch)
Individual terminals are not a factor (when removed from the network or isolated on the network the individual terminals perform perfectly. Furthermore when an external mac (iMac laptop) was introduced to the network it performed just as poorly)
Browser/Operating System/CMS platform not a factor (multiple CMSs have been tested, testing on multiple computers with different versions of OS have been tested, and all sites have different CMSs; Joomla, Concrete 5, Bespoke, and Wordpress of different versions)
Cpanel setup not a factor (Each site has its own Cpanel account, the are not set up as add-on domains. Furthermore, a similar slow down has been observed on other sites held on that server)
Mixed platform network not a factor (We removed non-mac based computers from the network and turned off wi-fi to isolate and found no change)
DNS does not appear to be a factor (We tested multiple DNS including Googles 8,8,8,8 / 8,8,4,4 and found no change)
Cabling does not appear to be a factor (though the cabling isn't perfect, it's at least Cat5/Cat6, plus it wouldn't affect only our sites)
Email Client does not appear to be a factor (accessing email via Outlook or Mail App causes the slowdown)
Important: Things that we suspect
Computer Year of Manufacture: (though all computers are affected, the problem is most severe on pre-2013 constructed models (regardless of OS)
POP3/SMTP request immediately triggers the slow down (observed visually as well as in ping tests. No mail needs to be sent/received during this process to trigger the slow down, simply the request causes the spike. We haven't yet been able to test IMAP)
The Networked Macs (not the individual macs): (the individual computers when isolated on the existing hardware perform fine. Only when they are networked does the slow down occur)
DNS (Even though we've found no link to DNS, if feeeeels like a DNS issue.)
CHANGE of host. (We changed hosts due to extremely poor service and tech support. The new guys are fantastic. Though I don't think it's the new host's fault, it's possible that the change of hosts has caused our network to search for our websites in the wrong place)
Apple Knows Best: Is there something that Macs do with Mail to update a routing table? Like, could a mail application trigger an update to a local routing table?
Has anybody heard of anything like this before? Or can anybody suggest any possible things to test or change? Even though email requests seem improbable, I can confirm that it has been proved visually and through tests. As you can probably tell, our testing has been extensive so if you notice anything in our test conclusions that I could add to please... I'm seriously open to suggestions now.
Any help with this would be much appreciated.
Kind Regards,
-TheWebFella

Hi Linc
Thanks for the suggestion. Yeah I'd already tried that. It's been deactivated on most of our computers already. Plus like I said, it's different browsers on multiple macs and also some mobile browsers on both iPhone and Samsung on our wireless network. I can confirm that on mac the problem is consistent across Chrome, Firefox as well as Safari.
Thanks anyway! Any other takers?

Do I have DNS problems? Slow loading or no access ...

Hi all,
Most of the time my broadband seems to play nicely however I seem to have painfully slow loading or non-loading websites with annoying regularity. It is not all sites and the problem seems rather selective.
Sites that I know are up (such as bbc.co.uk) are sometimes impossible to load. A speed test shows somewhere between 2Mb and 7.5Mb (yeah, I know - contention in my area is a real issue).
If I VPN out to a proxy server then everything works just fine.
Does anyone know if this is a BT DNS issue?
Thanks!

Thanks for the reply.
I changed my DNS to 8.8.8.8 but still no joy - pick a random page and some work, some don't. My smart TV is decidedly dumb and nothing will stream. Give it a few hours and it is usually fine.
I am also randomly getting the message that "You're seeing this page becasue BT parental controls is active and you are attemtping to connect to a DNS outside of our network" which I am not...
[sigh]
