Slow webpage loading on all browsers

Hi,
I have the problem that webpages tend to load extremely slow on all browsers under the latest Mountain Lion on a Macbook Pro Retina Mid 2012. I say tend, because sometimes pages load instantly, but very often it takes minutes to open or a page loads only partially. So there is some random element of surprise mixed in. The problem exists on all browsers I have on my system. It does not on my Windows laptop. I have tried anything I could find on the web that is even remotely related to this issue. I will just list, what I have tried so far:
1) I have deleted my wireless connection under network preferences and setup a new one.
2) I have tested other DNS servers, Google's amongst then (8.8.8.8).
3) I have deactivated DNS prefetching on Safari.
4) I have tested Chrome and Internet Explorer (via VMware Fusion).
5) I have done several speed tests with two ISPs.
6) I have tested the disk permission verification and repair tip.
7) I have tested a different wireless router as well as different wireless standards (g vs n).
8) I ran a traceroute which turned out fine.
9) I have tested several FTP severs. The problem seems to be isolated to HTTP browsing.
Can't think of anything else I have tested, but that should cover most of it. I do not want to setup a new system and postpone the issue. I want to find the cause of this.
Maybe anyone can help we resolve this issue.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads 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:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. 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 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. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Muse-built site on business catalyst isn't loading on all browsers and devices

My muse-built site on business catalyst isn't loading on all browsers and devices e.g. the full-screen video widget doesn't load or play, the scrolling doesn't work. Any advice? The site is gulch.businesscatalyst.com

Once you add the domain to Business Catalyst and finish all the DNS delegation steps listed in the article for launching a site on BC, your old site will no longer load and users will go to the new BC site. Your old hosting then could be discontinued with whichever vender you used. Be aware that DNS can sometimes take 24 hours to fully propogate so you should wait to make sure that things are all loading properly. -j

.dmg and. zip webpages will not load through all browsers so I cannot download from sites

hi all,
i have had this problem since i bought my Mac Book. When trying to load a .zip or a .dmg webpage, it will start loading the page and than stop. Without dispaying nothing only a white page. I wont show me any errors or nothing, just stop loading,
I have upgraded to snow leopard maybe it will stop doing this but useless. I tried using Safari, Google Chrome and Mozilla and still the same.
Please help
Thanks folks

thanks for the quick reply
i tried everything you told me but its still not working. When i try and download its redirecting me as every download page should do, so that ok. But when the .dmg and .zip page will start loading it will stay blank and stop loading on.
I checked the download folder and even the preferences and nothing is showing up. I think its more of a permission problem than from the browser since all browsers are doing this.
I had Norton 2010 installed and was removed maybe it was the source of the problem but still.
More help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Teo

Images not loading across all browsers on certain websites, help!

== Issue
==
Firefox is having problems with certain web sites
== Description
==
When browsing college humor and Gawker network sites, and also occasionally google and forbidden planet, images don't load correctly. This happens across all browsers but I feel firefox may be the root of the problem. This happens on both computers which share my firefox profile, and doesn't affect others in my house such as my iPod Touch.
Any ideas? I really want to sort this out.

Cambrey,
that HTML content shows that there’s no content at that Web site — it will only show the heading “301 Moved Permanently” and the single line “nginx/1.2.6”. I suspect that they might have wanted to include a redirection directive in that document, but for some reason, they didn’t. Your browsers are behaving as they ought to do with this Web site.
Have you considered trying www.sundancechannel.fr in your browsers instead of sundancechannel.fr?

Certain webpages crash on all browsers on MacBook Pro

I've been dealing with this problem for a couple of weeks now. I run OS X Lion 10.7.5 and over the past few weeks certain random websites will begin to load, and then crash all my web browsers. I have tried Safari, Chrome, and FireFox and the same sites pose the same issues. The main site to cause my problems right now is Etsy.com.
Could I somehow be infected with a virus or malware?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if Safari crashed, you would enter "Safari" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

Google, YouTube won't load in all browsers.

On all accounts setup on both my computers at home, Google and Youtube struggle to even open in all my browsers (Safari 4.0.4, Firefox 3.0.15, and Chrome 5.0.307.7), while the rest of the internet loads fine (including for example, Gmail and Hulu).
I did install some security updates recently, and the issues I am experiencing did start occurring around the same timeframe. I've reset Safari, emptied the cache, deleted cookies and restarted my machines without seeing any improvements. After restarting my router, I can access Google.com more successfully, but still have problems with YouTube.
I did read on the following thread about someone having similar issues that ended up being related to a bad DNS address, but I am curious if anyone has experienced anything similar to what I am describing because of another issue.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11064680
Any suggestions out there to help me troubleshoot?

I had the same trouble as you and it started shortly after I ran the weekly software updates. I run the same browser versions as you also, and ran thru the exact same procedures (resetting safari, re-installed browsers, etc). I checked my DNS details, rebooted router/modem & even updated its firmware - nothing!
Breakthru: I uninstalled Flash Player on my machine. Some websites (or certain modules within sites) don't load properly, but I manage to contain crashing across all 3 browsers.
With regards to that discussion you posted - I couldn't find PeerGuardian on my iMac, so unsure what that is all about.
I do need to upgrade to Leopard Snow (wondering if that would eliminate the problem), however, running stable for the past 6 hours.
Good luck!

IMac, sudden extremely slow webpage loading problem

Hi guys,
I had this problem all of a sudden, not sure whether it was caused by malware, my own python scripts or the 10.8.2 update. However all the other devices in my wifi network work just fine. And also my iMac is not disconnected from the internet, ping "www.google.com" is fine, and other IM apps are working properly too.
I tried different browswers (chrome, firefox, safari) since then, and all the other suggested solutions (resetting DNS, using static ip address, clear cache and etc.) None of them actually solved the problem.
My friend told me to reinstall a clean OS X, which could be a huge pain for me.
However, I accidently found out some softlinks and permissions are messed up in my superuser directories. So I did a "repair disk permission" , now the browsers are back on the horse. That actually makes sense to me.
Long story short, verify/repair disk permissions (in Utilities/disk utility) might solve your browser page loading problem! I just wanna to share with you guys if you are struggling on the same issue as I was.
Regards,
candyquicksort

Thanks for the report & sharing!

Slow webpage loading (using dsl connection)

Hi, I've been having some huge slowdowns upon browsing the web (just loading google takes some time, sites does not load at normal speed, browsing is not that usable 100%). I've confirmed this that it only occurs on Arch because when I try browsing on my XP the above problems doesn't occur at all...I'm not using a networkmanager atm, I just do a
#dhcpcd "interface"
. Could this problem ISP related? I have no idea why this is happening...Also, downloading packages via powerpill or pacman shows correct dl speeds...I'm using kdemod 4.2 and tested my browsing on both my netbook and desktop with browser's Firefox,Opera,Konqueror...:( I will supply more info if it will be needed...
Thanks in advance

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by dhcpcd "interface", but the correct way to do DHCP in Arch is in the file /etc/rc.conf You only need to edit a couple of lines and then DHCP should be working on boot. By default, there is a line that reads:
eth0="eth0 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255"
You need to edit this line so it reads:
eth0="dhcp" # eth0 is whatever interface you are using
INTERFACES=(eth0) # again, replace eth0 with the interface you are using
and
ROUTES=(gateway)
should be
ROUTES=(!gateway)
The default settings tell the network manager to use a static IP as well as a static gateway, which is not what you want if you are getting DHCP from your router.
Hope this helps.

After 10.4.4 Update Flash Failes To Load In All Browsers!

Has anybody experienced this problem?, Safari failed to load pluggin. even in IE, firefox and Opera no flash loads. Is there a fix for this? I have also downloaed the plugins and have re installed them varius times, and still no go. Its getting really anoying?

Hi, Brian.
One other thing I should point out: I also have
QuickTime 7.0.4 and the latest Flash player and have
not had a problem with either. Again, I'd be very
interested in knowing what led you to conclude QT
7.0.4 was causing the problem with Flash.
If it turns out that QT 7.0.4 was not the problem,
i.e. if the problem recurs after removing QT 7.0.4
using the reinstaller you cited, let me know as I
saved the other list of analysis and suggestions I'd
planned to post.
Thanks!
Good luck!

"Movie not loaded" in all browsers except IE

Hi,
The movie (http://www.ross.no) has worked unchanged since July 2009, until it recently stopped in Chrome, Firefox and Opera.
Internet Explorer is working.
Both version 10.3.183.10 and 11.01.152 have this problem.
Regards
Morten

Additional info:
I just updated Flash for IE from 10.0.22.27 to 10.3.183.10 (I rarely use IE), and now the same occurs in IE8, so somewhere between the two flash versions an update has been introduced that prohibits the movie to be run in any browser on any operating system.
The movie looks like this:

Webpage loading is very slow with parental controls enabled

Hello,
My kids were complaining about slow webpage loading (~2 min page) and how they can't do their homework. I am running Lion (10.7.2) and using latest safari (or firefox) on a new imac. (4GB). After a few hours of searching and reading I created two new accounts, one with and one without minimal parental control enabled. Sure enough, easily recreated the problem, so it is nothing(?) that my kids did to their accounts. I have tried toggling the parental controls back to no internet site restrictions without changing the browser response. Thanks for any help.

i did it many times and the same problem exists

Webpages stop loading after some time across all browsers

I have come across a problem that 2 of the users that I support have been experiencing recently and I am trying to figure out where to begin. They will be able to use the internet, access webpages and everything for some time till at one point seemingly randomly all web browser connectivity becomes stuck at the dialog Connecting and eventually times out trying to connect to the host server. Yet other forms of internet access, like ping and telnet, work just fine at this point. Basically it seems that all traffic going to ports 80 and 8080 times out and I have pulled the logs where I believe this happened and pasted them here:
http://pastebin.com/VPSPwyBe
A temporary fix for this so far is a quick reboot and everything behaves normally for sometime till web access drops and another reboot is required. This is true across all browsers, IE, Firefox, and Chrome on a MacBook Pro Retina 15" running OSX 10.9.4. I have tried fresh installs of all the browsers and switching to a different OS X user account and still have the same problem. I have also tried to flush the DNS using the terminal and that has had no effect. There are no proxies involved and resetting the wireless adapter produces no results. Going to keep searching for some other steps to try to fix this and will keep this thread updated.

How do I fix super slow internet - all browsers are affected

There is some problem with internet connectivity with my MacBook Pro, but I cannot figure out how to resolve it. Speedtest.net is measuring my internet speed at download speeds of 0.88MBps and upload of .84Mbps. Other devices utilizing the same router also via wifi (my husband's MacBook Pro for example) are running at 4.08MBps down and 0.86MBps up.
I've tried many things, but I must be missing something and do not understand what is causing the problem. Please let me know what I need to do to resolved this.
Symptoms are occurring across multiple browsers (see list below), and I also tried the iTunes store and it was also extremely slow to load.
Safari 7.1.3
Chrome Version 40.0.2214.111 (64-bit)
Firefox 34.0.5
and iTunes 12.xx
Mail program also exhibits a lack of getting and downloading new email that I know if should download, because it shows up on our iPhone. Attachments in Mail have also sometimes been blank with zero bytes, but if I restart Mail, sometimes those attachment then have data in them.
The Mail problem seems to be possibly intermittent, but the internet browser speed is really a significant and consistent problem.
I have:
Restarted our router. (no improvement)
Verified permissions. (no improvement)
Repaired permissions. (no improvement)
Verified disk (it's okay). (no improvement)
Safari>Preferences>Privacy>Remove All Website Data. (no improvement)
Safari>Advanced>Stop plug-ins to save power changed to "unchecked" (no improvement)
Reset Safari (no improvement)
Quit and Restarted Safari
Firefox>History>Clear History (Browsing&Download, Cookies, Cache, Active Logins)
Quit and Restarted Firefox
Chrome>Clear browsing data
Quit and Restarted Chrome
Restarted the computer multiple times. (no improvements)
Shut down computer, System Management Controller - SMC and Reset P-RAM. After restarting after this last bit, speedtest.net clocked in a 4MBps when I first launched Safari, but 2 minutes later, it was slow again at 0.93MBps.
System Preferences>Network
Wi-Fi is "Connected"
In "Advanced" -
Wi-Fi: my Network Name is at the top of the list. "Remember networks which computer has joined" is checked.
TCP/IP: Configure IPv4 "Using DHCP"
DNS Servers: 192.168.1.254 Search Domains: Home. There is only one in the list.
Proxies: No boxes checked. "Bypass proxy setting for these Hosts & Domains: "*.local, 169.254/16" "Use Passive FTP Mode (PASV)" is Checked.

Please let me know any thoughts on troubleshooting and thanks!
15" MacBook Pro 2.8 GHz, late 2009 model running OS 10.9.5. Software Update - everything is up to date. Including the Security Update 2015-001. Internet was slow before this last update as well.

Safari is not the only browser that's slow. Will Safari slow down other browsers even if Safari is not running? Right now I'm using Chrome after restarting and it remains very slow.
Nonetheless, in Safari:
In "Top Sites" of a new tab, I held down the Option key and clicked the "x" for every single top site so that the list is empty. No change noticed. I also emptied the folder for cache website previews in the library folder, but that has made no noticeable change after restarting.
What do you mean by "sharing your devices?" Do you mean a network? I don't have any podcasts, I don't know what you mean by this? I also don't understand refreshing automatically? I'm not running iTunes right now.
I have taken a screen shot of Activity Monitor after restarting and this is what shows for CPU. What data specifically are you looking to analyze in Activity Monitor?

No matter what wi-fi I'm connected to or browser I'm using, webpages take forever to load or they never load at all. Other computers do not have any problems. How can i fix this?

I've tried safari, chrome, firefox...I've cleared the cache as well. This has been going on for several months and used to be tolerable as it was not every website. Now it has become every website and is impossible to deal with. My roommates computer and my cell phone connect fine. I'm fully connected to the router yet websites don't load. I'm using 10.7.5. Thank you!!

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, with limited graphics performance, 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 login 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. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Flash Player loads the CPU to 80-100%. All browsers.

Hello. Flash Player loads the CPU of my computer to 80-100% even on slower flash applications. ALL actions of the FAQ tried. Problems are observed on all browsers (FireFox, Opera, Chrome). Video card drivers are updated, the player itself as the latest version. Windows 7 x 64, AMD Athlon II x2 M300, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570.

What is your CPU usage when you visit this page: Flash Player Version
Do you recall if this occurred with previous versions of the player? What do you see when you revert back to Flash Player 10.3? Also, do you have hardware acceleration enabled or disabled?
How do I revert to a previous version of Flash Player?
How do I disable or enable hardware acceleration?
