Stop safari from refreshing every page i go back to

Is there a way to prevent safari from refreshing every page i go back to in my browsing history?  what is the point of having a cache if safari is going to refresh every page anyway?
i dont mean dated stuff like 2 weeks ago, i mean every page.
i swipe and have to wait while safari refreshes, then swipe back again, wait for the refresh and repeat this.  if i quickly swipe back 4 pages, the 4th page back will appear for a second, then the 1st page re-appears cos it is fully refreshed.
i thought it was just on Facebook that this happened on, but it is on most pages including google searches and this forum.
very annoying behaviour.

I am part of a web marketing company and we discovered a very heavy aggravation on top of all the above described annoyances of the refreshing process of safari on iPhone and iPad.
If the page in refreshing process it was after a direct click on a google "pay per click add", then safari it would re-emulate the click on the google add as well, who will charge the customer for what it looks like a legitimate click !!!!!
Now my customer put me in charge to collect all the company server's logs and analyse them through one by one ... (millions…),
once sufficient data will be available we will start a suing process against apple and google.
Apple, to allow such automatic unconditioned refreshing generating false "pay per click", and Google for charging the customer for illegal clicks. Keep in mind that we receive from 500 to 600 clicks per day at a CPC min £1.90 to max £6.80 depends from competitors biddings, the highest percentage of clicks its about CPC £3.10, making the company spending easily £3,000 per day.
in the last 7 days we already discovered that about 10% of the clicks are repetitive from iPhone and iPad refreshing their safari cache, making spend the company about £ 2,000 per week in false clicks. we are also trying to discover when was this process generally started,  ie if its been going on for a year, we are talking of some good (£2000 * 52) £100,000 plus our work to investigate.
I am a big fan of iPhone, and I hope some apple technician will read this message and take action ASAP, because in the next 3-4 weeks, once our investigation its done, all the info and server logs will be publicised on the web … with unfortunate financial consequences …

  • How do I stop Safari from refreshing?

    How can I stop it from refreshing when:
    1) When I press the "back" button, I want it to load what it has previously saved, not to reload the whole page again... this takes much longer and takes up bandwidth
    2) When I open the page again after a while: say I have 4-5 pages of different web pages, and when I open one of the pages that I haven't opened for a few minutes it'll load again when I try to go to that page... again, this takes much longer and takes up bandwidth
    So how can I tell Safari just to show me what it has previously loaded and tell it to stop refreshing everything? It's quite annoying.
    Thanks in advance!

    I've submitted feedback on this, and posted in another thread. This reloading issue is a real problem for using mobile boarding passes on airlines which support them, such as Continental and American. You may be able to present your boarding pass and scannable bar code at the bag check or security, but by the time you get to the gate, Safari will decide to reload the airlines' web page with your pass. Of course, this confuses the airlines' servers, and it takes several attempts (and minutes) to recall the correct page.
    This unrequested reload is a real issue - it breaks the utility of Safari and the iPhone for this application, and many other web sites which have issues with a reload.

  • How do I stop Safari from refreshing pages on my iPad?

    This is really annoying.  I am not sure if it is related to time or to memory.  (it's not auto-refresh set by the website).  I often load up several web pages in tabs that I would like to read on the train to work.  Unfortunately when I open the tabs, they refresh eating into my data plan.  If I switch off data, then the pages still try to refresh and I can't see them at all.
    surely there must be an iPad Safari option to stop pages from automatically re-loading?

    Did you click on the export icon -- box with an arrow above it?
    Click on add to reading list -- old fashion glasses icon?
    to see click on book icon
    click on glasses.

  • How do i stop Safari from freezing while i'm surfing the internet?

    Ok, so here's the problem. Every time I go onto Safari, it doesn't respond after i search for something on google or go on Facebook. now, i have to use Safari in Safe Mode each time and the audio is disabled so i can't watch or listen to music videos. Can someone tell me how to stop Safari from doing this? Thanks. 

    Maybe try another browser like Firefox.
    Also, try creating a new user account on your mac, and log in to that, to see if you continue to have the same problems.

  • How can I stop Safari from opening new windows unless I want them?

    Since Safari 5.02, there is no box to check in the General Preferences to stop Safari from opening a new window when I click on a link. My expectation is to only go to a new window when I want to do it. Most of my searches go down a rabbit hole and I just want to go backwards without closing page after new open page (Same problem with Tabs. I don't want new Tabs all the time either. In fact, the only time I really care about multiple open Tabs or Windows is when I need more than one Window open for data comparison or something like that...)
    This is an incredibly annoying new behavior of Safari that I want to shut off. I have 20 windows open in the Window list right now. (I regularly shut off Safari to clear up all the useless abandoned windows.) Firefox doesn't do this, but I prefer Safari.
    I tried to search this one, but maybe am not framing the question properly. See lots of discussion of forcing new tabs, but that is not what I am looking for....Can anyone help me?

    Thanks Baltwo,
    I will try it, but I don't want new pages in tabs either. I simply don't want the link to open in a new page or tab unless I ask for one. My initial trial has google links opening in new tabs. Why can't I just go down the paths on the same page like the old days? Especially after I find what I want, I will go somewhere else.
    With your recommendation, I think that instead of pages open, I will have an abundance of tabs?
    Guess I am getting inflexible in my old age. If this is the only option, it is an "improvement" that I don't like yet.
    Firefox doesn't do it.

  • Stopping "Preview" from saving every document.

    How can I stop Preview from saving every pdf file I open? I can't find anything in the prefs that allow me to simply "read" docs without saving them. Thanks.

    swami7774 wrote:
    I normally use Firefox but tried Safari based on your recommendation. If I hit "open document in new window" it does not download, so the problem is solved if I use Safari. That fix does NOT work with Firefox. No matter what viewing choice I make the document is saved to the desktop. Can't find a Firefox preference that addresses this.
    You can change where it goes, though. +Firefox > Preferences > General > Downloads.+

  • How can I stop safari from auto completing url's on my iphone 4 and ipad2?

    How can I stop safari from auto completing url's on my iphone 4 and ipad2?  On both devices I have cleared history, I have gone into settings-safari-and cleared history and cleared cookies & data, tried turning my devices on and off and I also have private browsing turned on. Both devices are operating on iOS 5.  When I type in a url I don't want anything to show and auto complete.  Any suggestions?

    This indicates corrupt files.
    A restore should resolve.

  • Can I stop iWeb from putting a page name at the top?

    I don't want page names across the top in iWeb. I have a list of hyperlinked icons on the side for that.
    Can anyone tell me how to stop iWeb from putting the page name on the page?
    Thanks.

    The script is for the text in the browser title bar.
    The title is taken from the large textbox at the top of each webpage.
    If that box is missing or empty, iWeb uses a next textbox for the title.
    If that is missing too, the pagename is used for the title.
    If you want the title in the titlebar but not the large textbox on your page, select the textbox, do Cm-T and drag the font-size slider to the bottom.
    Then click the color next to the T-icon and drag that opacity slider to the left (0).
    Then resize the textbox to it minimun size and drag it out of view. And don't forget you did.
    But I think the OP means the navigation links at the top.

  • How do I stop Safari from 'pinwheeling' whenever I am using Yahoo Mail? I really need a correct answer please.                                                                                             Mail? I need a correct answer please.

    How do I stop Safari from 'pinwheeling' whenever I try to use Yahoo Mail?
    I really need a correct answer please. Other answers have only suggested how to access Yahoo Mail without using Safari. I want to continue using Safari to access Yahoo Mail,if possible.  Thank you.

    Could be a cookie issue...
    Go to Safari > Preferences then select the Security tab then click Show Cookies
    Type yahoo in the serach field then click Remove All > Done
    Quit then relaunch Safari.
    Try accessing your Yahoo mail account.
    FYI... there is rarely a sure fire correct response for third party web based email client software. Often takes time consuming troubleshooting.

  • Any way to stop iPhoto from launching every time iPhone syncs??

    The subject posting says it all: Is there any way to stop iPhoto from launching every time I synch my iPhone? I've clicked this and that, checked this and that. I must be missing something so if someone could help, I thank you in advance.

    OR ... delete the photos from the phone after they were imported. If you want those photos to be on the phone, set them to import during a sync. Getting them out of the iPhone's "camera roll" album is the key here.
    An easy way is to set up a iPhoto album called "for iPhone" or something. When your new photos are initially imported into iPhoto they will be in the "last roll" smart album. Select them from there and drag them into your "for iPhone" album and make sure that album is selected to sync. Either check the "delete photos after importing" box in iPhoto or delete them manually from your "camera roll" album on your iPhone after the sync. iPhoto will not automatically open until you take new photos.
    Remember ... setting Image capture to not open iPhoto, as well as the setting iPhoto to delete photos after importing ... will apply to your camera or memory card device as well.
