Web pages load slowly or not at all.

At least half the web pages I try to access load slowly or not at all, especially those I am accessing for the first time. This problem has been getting worse over the past few months. I ran the Wireless Diagnostics test, and it said there didn't seem to be a problem.     I am using a Belkin G Wireless Router, and only use the MacBook Air at home.  The PHY Mode is 802.11g.  What should I do?

Try going to Speedtest.net (if you can ) and see what your speeds are. If they seem fine then try turing off or resetting your router. If that doesn't work it might be something with the Wi-Fi antena within the MacBook Air. Try connecting it via Ethernet.

  • Web pages loading slowly or not at all in all browsers

    I don't know why I'm having this problem.... for the last few weeks now.    95% of the time, web pages (for me.... particularly in Ancestry.com and Ebay) load very slowly, or don't load at all.  The other 5% of the time, it appears to work normally.  I don't seem to have a problem with most other web pages.   The problem occurs in all three of my browsers - Safari, Chrome and Firefox.    I have dumped all my history and cookies.  I have scanned my computer for malware/spyware with MacScan (which I just installed tonight).   I am having the same problem on both my laptop (macbook pro) and my iMac.   Again.... this problem started just a few weeks ago.   I have tried everything I know to fix the problem, but haven't found a solution yet.  It is very frustrating.  Why would I only be having an issue with browsing on Ancestry and Ebay....and nowhere else?   HELP!!

    I'm having the same issue, except its not just web pages. It's apps, like facebook and getting emails. It's only a problem when I'm on my home wifi. If I shut the wifi off and use mobile data, everythings much faster.
    I contacted Samsung and have a ticket open with them, but there's nothing else they can do for me. I've tried running in safe mode, and resetting to factory settings, but no luck. My next step is to contact Verizon, but I wanted to check here first. Funny thing is I did a google search, and others are complaining of the same issue. I'll update if I ever get it fixed!

  • Web pages load slowly or not at all, but internet connection is fine. Can anyone recommend a fix?

    Please help!  I have a long standing problem with my MacBook Pro, whereby I experience the following symptoms:
    - Webpages sometimes load very slowly.  The URL is displayed in the address field, but the progress bar appears stuck.  Only very slowly does the web page then load.
    - Webpages sometimes do not load at all.
    - Webpages sometimes load incomplete.  Eg. Only part of the website appears, for example the top bar; or certain images fail to load.
    However...
    - My internet connection is fine. Mobile devices / iPad / work PC all work perfectly well on the same wifi. The problem is isolated to my MacBook Pro
    - Clearing the cache, resetting the browser etc do not eliminate or reduce the problem
    - Changing to OpenDNS does not fix the problem
    - The problem is not specific to Safari.  I experience the same on Chrome, Firefox etc.
    - Switching it off and on again does not work either (in case anyone suggests it!)
    I'm running OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.5 and my MacBook Pro is from early 2011.
    Suggestions welcome!

  • Why is my internet fine but web pages load slowly or not at all?

    Hello. I'm going to try and keep this as simple as possible. Last night I went to use my imac and for some reason every wed page I would try and go to either wouldn't open, would time out, or would load so slowly as to be almost no use at all. I reset my modem (I use a wired, ethernet connection) and everything was fine with the internet connection (or so it seemed) because I checked to see if I was able to torrent for instance and that worked just fine. The problem seemes to be based solely around browsing the internet (using both safari and chrome). I'm not sure what's going on and would appriciate any help. Thanks.

    Try putting these numbers in Network>TCP/IP>DNS Servers, for the Interface you connect with...
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    Then Apply.
    For 10.5/10.6, System Preferences>Network, unlock the lock if need be, highlight the Interface you use to connect to Internet, click on the advanced button, click on the DNS tab, click on the little plus icon, then add these numbers...
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    Click OK.
    DNS Servers are a bit like Phone books where you look up a name and it gives you the phone number, in our case, you put in apple.com and it comes back with 17.149.160.49 behind the scenes.  
    These Servers have been patched to guard against DNS poisoning, and are faster/more reliable than most ISP's DNS Servers.

  • WRT54GS - Web page loads slow or not at all

    My parents have two wireless laptops accessing their WRT54GS.  Both receive excellent signal strength.  Web pages load at normal speed for the first unit to access the internet on their network.  However, the web pages will take forever or not load at all for the second computer, despite the fact that the signal strength to the second computer remains excellent.  It does not matter which connects first and which is second; the problem still occurs. 
    I might mention that the computers and the router were purchased on Dec. 23, so everything should be current, with the exception of the 12/28/06 firmware release for the router.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated!

    hi...you can try different wireless settings on the router...
    channel -- 1,9 or 11
    under advanced wireless settings ,
    beacon interval  - 75 
    frag threshold    -  2304
    RTS                   -  2304
    if this does not make any difference then upgrading the firmware could help you....

  • Web pages load slowly using Safari, Firefox, and Chrome.

    Web pages are loading slowly now on my mid-2008 iMac 2.66 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo. 
    Doesn't seem to matter if I use Safari v5.1.10, Firefox v29.0.1, or Chrome v34.0.1847.131. 
    Problem started about a week ago mostly with YouTube but now I have issues with almost all web pages loading slowly, including this one.

    Try resetting both your Intenet MODEM/Router by unplugging them, waiting 15 to 20 seconds then plugging them back in.

  • System slow and certain web pages load slowly

    For six month's I have been trying to determine what is wrong.
    Back ground os: Maverick 10.9.4.
    I think I may have found the trouble.
    When I shut down the computer, a box opens and ask's
    to continue the download or abort?
    So, I always abort.
    I have done all the maintenance and permissions and reset
    the Pram and Sms. (I think that's it?)
    The last time I posted a tecky had me download EtreCheck software.
    And I was able to find a lot of bad or damaged files.
    I ran it today and under, Top Processes by C.P.U.: ( In red) was
    100% installer.
    I can not tell which or what installer?
    And how to find this?
    My whole system is slow or unresponsive and web pages
    sometime's do not load.
    I hope someone can help me.
    Thank you,
    John

    Found the culprit. ( WOOHOO ! )
    I went into the library and under logs,
    found a file called: com.apple.Tcc and
    it had a red icon on the bottom.
    So I re- ran EtreCheck and it was gone.
    By maintenance, I mean, Permissions.
    I hope this solved the problem?
    Thank you to all for your assistance.
    If this does not solve it I will be back.

  • ANOTHER case of all browsers loading SLOWLY or NOT AT ALL.

    Okay---this is REALLY irritating...especially for the vaunted Apple---whose hardware and software are supposed to be a "seamless" whole.
    I have a 17" MacBook Pro, early 2011 model, running Mountain Lion 10.8.2. When I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion, I wiped the hard drive and did a 100% clean install, then installed all updates from Apple and have kept the system completely update since.
    This morning---for the first time ever---I experienced what I quickly discovered is an INFAMOUS issue: ALL web browsers taking 5 minutes to load a page...or never loading it at all. (Safari, Chrome, Firefox, you name it.)
    I did a flurry of research and can state the following:
    - The problem happened when connected to wifi at my local coffeehouse (the same wifi at the same coffeehouse worked perfectly 2 days ago and has worked perfectly for the past year).
    - No, the problem is NOT my local coffeehouse's wifi or ISP: my iPhone 5 was screaming fast when connected to the SAME wifi at the same time.
    - A reboot did NOT solve the issue.
    - I opened Network Utility and did a lookup on www.apple.com, and results were fine. Pings were also in the 90ms range. No problems there.
    - At the coffeehouse, I tried using my iPhone 5 (which as I just observed, loaded web pages screaming fast over the coffeehouse wifi) as a personal hotspot for my MBP. No dice---ALL browsers continued to load at a glacial pace.
    - The problem does NOT occur over wifi at home (I have Comcast cable broadband, which works very well.)
    - I tried adding OpenDNS's IPs to the wifi connection on my MBP. No dice. Didn't help at all.
    - I tried GoogleDNS. No dice. Didn't help at all.
    - I tried disabling DNS prefetching. No dice. Didn't help at all.
    In short, this is ridiculous. This kind of thing should NOT be happening on a MacBook Pro! (Especially one that is fully, completely, totally updated to the minute.)
    There are, of course, other tests I could do...but I'm not inclined to do them. Why? Because running said tests would mean I'm RIGHT BACK TO WHAT I WANTED TO ESCAPE WHEN I USED PC's: spending hours troubleshooting BS problems that shouldn't exist! As a former PC user, I've spent HUNDREDS of hours troubleshooting issues...which was what drove me to Apple in the first place. And my experience with MBP's (I've had two over the past several years) has been excellent...and now this.
    One test I could do is to reboot in safe mode, see if I have the same issue. Except I'd have to go back to my local coffeehouse to troubleshoot, since I don't have any issue at home (over wifi).
    This is obviously a VERY common issue. A quick Google search found HUNDREDS of returns from people having this identical problem. And the vast majority did not find any solution to the problem. Adding OpenDNS numbers solved it for some...but (as they all point out) why did the problem happen in the first place? Adding different DNS numbers is just a band-aid---not a solution.
    Clearly this is an issue that Apple should take seriously---and not simply ignore or brush off with silly responses like "It's a DNS issue, not us."
    Has anyone heard of a decisive, FINAL solution (not band-aid) to this issue?
    Scott

    At the coffeehouse, I tried using my iPhone 5 (which as I just observed, loaded web pages screaming fast over the coffeehouse wifi) as a personal hotspot for my MBP. No dice---ALL browsers continued to load at a glacial pace.
    In that configuration, you weren't using the Wi-Fi hotspot at all. You were using the cellular network. Do you get the same results doing the same thing at home, or anywhere the cellular signal strength is the same as in that location? If not, then RF interference was probably causing the problem. The Mac has a different antenna design than the iPhone and may be more susceptible.

  • Safari 6.0.1 page loading slow or not at all

    Friends,
    I have scoured the message boards of many self help communities and cannot find a great deal to resolve my question and that of many others -  Safari taking ages to load a page or not at all - having to hit reload several times to get the page to load. I have tried Firefox and Chrome with no problems on the same web pages. This has only started in the last week or so. I am on OS 10.8.2. I have treid the following solutions which do not work for me:
    Resetting Safari
    Manually and with software dumping of Safari and Java caches
    Disabling all Extensions
    Removing all Website Data
    Removing Safari's folder to create a complete new one in ~Library
    Changing DNS
    Turning off Prefetch DNS
    Checkiing for virii
    Turning off virus software
    Starting up in Safe Mode
    Repairing Permissions
    Repairing Prefs
    Starting up in a Test Guest account
    Unsyncing Safari from iCloud
    Making sure of my router having the latest firmware
    All to no avail. Anything I am missing here in an attempt to solve this issue?
    Thanks for reading this and cheers for now,
    sam

    Select  ▹ System Preferences ▹ Network. If the Network preference pane is locked, click the lock icon in the lower left corner and enter your password to unlock it. Then click the Advanced button and select the Hardware tab. Select  Configure: Manually and MTU: Custom. Enter an MTU value of 1280. Click OK and then Apply. Test.
    You must apply the change before it takes effect.
    If the issue is resolved, experiment with higher MTU values until you find the highest one that works. The higher the MTU, the better the network interface will perform.
    If changing the MTU has no effect, restore the Configure setting to Automatically.

  • Web Pages load slowly

    Recently my web pages have been loading very slowly. I have checked out the DSL connection and when I reset safari it gets better for a short time. The same problem is occurring when I use Firefox

    There can many reasons, one may be the DNS setting your ISP is using. I would recommend changing the DNS settings to:
    1. System preferences
    2. Network
    3. Click Advanced
    4. Click DNS tab
    5. Click + sign
    6. Add 208.67.222.222
    7. Click + sign
    8. Add 208.67.220.220
    9. Click OK.
    10. Exit System Preferences
    11. Try out your iMac and report what happened.

  • Videos load slowly or not at all with Flash 10!

    Well here we go. I'm working on IE 8 128-bit for Windows XP SP3 32-bit. Flash Player 10.1.102.64.
    Two days ago I noticed that video playback on sites like Youtube, Veoh, Magavideo etc the load time was real choppy. A video say two or three minuted longs would take more than 3 min, to buffer and then the video would start, then buffer somemore. Start , stop, repeat. For longer videos the flash player wouldn't buffer at all. Now I just give up on watching videos until this problem is solved. I tried one suggestion that said on the adobe hardware settings disable hardware acceleration. Did that, but didn't fix the problem. I've tried unistalling and reinstalling FP 10.1.102.64 once, but that didn't work.
    In my "Currently Loaded Add ons" section Shockwave Flash Object is enabled. Version 10.1.102.64 that is.
    The files in my system32/Macromed/Flash/ folder are as followed
    A folder with 'Flash Player Trust' it contains a filed name rpconverter.cfg
    Flash10l.ocx
    a text document with FlashInstall
    flashplayer.xpt
    FlashUtil10l_ActiveX
    FlashUtil10l_ActiveX.dll
    genuinst
    KB923789
    NPSWF32.dll
    I just want to watch videos online again. I need help.
    I have Avast anti-virus
    Malwarebytes Anti-Malware
    Smart Defrag
    Any help anybody.

    Step by step what should my Java script setting be? I don't think any quicktime addons are conflicting with it. The First time I had this problem, I had to simply had to turn off the SmartFilter and all my videos buffered smoothly through. I don't know whats wrong THIS time.
    When trying to watch a veoh video on this website a error message is found of the page. I click on the little yellow triangle in the corner.

  • Web pages and/or images not loading

    This problem started a few weeks ago once every few days or so, then got more and ore frequent where now it is happening multiple times each day.
    I am using Safari 6.1 on an iMac running OS 10.7.5
    Random web pages (some way more than others) will not load when I go to them. Sometimes, the text of the pages will load, but no images. Sometimes the URL progress bar will go across about an inch and the screen will go to blank white (this is most often) and it will just sit there. If I leave it alone, usually the web page will finally load about 4-10 minutes later on its own.
    I have talked with my ISP and we have tried the following fixes, with no positive results:
    When the problem happens, I try pinging the website {using Network utilities) and it always pings just fine.
    When the problem happens, I run Traceroute (using Network utilities) and email him a screen shot of the results.
    I have changed my DNS numbers to OpenDNS, per his comments.
    I have removed the router and plugged in direct.
    I have replaced all my Cat5 cables with new Cat6 cables.
    While the problem is happening, he can ping me just fine from his end.
    When the problem happens, I open Firefox and go to the same site, and have the same blank results in Firefox.
    When the problem happens, I can open a new Safari window and go to other sites just fine.
    This morning, I had the same issues, so I left it to clear on its own. I then went to Outlook to check my email and I had two emails where the images would not load at all, just like the web pages. So I left it alone for over 20 minutes and still no loading. Then I quit Outlook, re-opened it and the images came in just fine. During that 20 minutes, the web pages loaded in Safari in the background.
    I found and read a discussion about this issue  (  https://discussions.apple.com/message/22125235#22125235  ) and per that conversation, I created a GUEST user account, closed out of my account and logged in as a GUEST. I then used Safari to browse the web ans while it was faster, eventually after about 30 minutes, I found a page that would not load (one of my usual suspect pages). I then sat back and let it go and after 5 minutes, the page loaded just fine.
    HELP!!!!!

  • Slow web page loads on Mac, but not for PC

    I use a D-Link wireless router (DI-524) for my PowerBook G4 15" and my roommate's Dell PC. Very recently I seem to get very slow web page loads with some pages not even loading at all.
    Airport is consistently connected with no drops at all and when I'm downloading something it never gets interrupted the whole way through.
    My roommate's PC has no problem whatsoever and all of the web pages that he visits load instantly. It seems that my main problem is with web pages.
    I've tried doing a clean install on my Powerbook, I've tried resetting the router (I've tried upgrading the firmware but the router decided it didn't want to work with the new version). And surprisingly, I get the same slow speeds when I hook up my Powerbook to my router via ethernet cable. The only time my speeds are perfectly fine is when I hook up my Powerbook directly to the wall (I dorm in a university so we have a T3 line).
    Can someone please give me some advice on this very frustrating issue?

    In addition to Neds suggestions, empty the Safari cache (which should be empty after a clean install).
    Goto the Safari Get Info screen (in Finder or in Dock if you have Safari there), click the triangle on languages, and disable those you don't use.
    My Safari response time was significantly slowed after the 10.4.5 update, and using the combo updater took care of that. The 10.4.6 combo update is located here.

  • Slow Web Page Loading in Safari & Firefox

    A few months ago, Safari began loading web pages extremely slowly, regardless of the Internet connection. I don’t recall doing anything special at the time; it just kind of started all of a sudden. I thought it might a problem with Safari, so I downloaded Firefox. Although Firefox was a bit faster at first, it quickly (over the course of about 1 week) slowed down as well. To reiterate, the browser application itself was loading quite rapidly, yet the web pages were taking a very long time. On average, it takes more than 90 seconds to load a web page as simple as Google.com. Before this problem began, a web page would usually take an average of about 15-20 seconds to load. I am sure that it is NOT due to my Internet connection because the problem remains regardless of whether I am at home (where I have a cable connection) or at work (where I know the Internet connection is very reliable). To further support this, my roommate who has a 4 year old Dell PC loads web pages using Internet Explorer significantly faster than I do (with my 2.5 year old MacBook Pro). I have not noticed any kind of performance decrease with any of my other software or hardware; the computer still starts-up quickly, and all of my other software applications are very responsive. Any suggestions on how I might fix this issue?

    Before this problem began, a web page would usually take an average of about 15-20 seconds to load
    I would call that slow! 1-5 seconds should be the maximum.
    The following usually works on both Tiger and Leopard:
    (First, if yours is an Intel Mac, check that Safari is not running in Rosetta, which is enough to slow it to a crawl.)
    Adding DNS codes to your Network Settings, should gives 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:
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    (An explanation of why that is both safe and a good idea can be read here: http://www.labnol.org/internet/tools/opendsn-what-is-opendns-why-required-2/2587 / )
    Whilst in System Preferences/Network you should also turn off 'IPv6' in your preference pane, as otherwise you may not get the full speed benefit (the DNS resolver will default to making SRV queries). If you want to know what IPv6 is:
    This is Apple's guidance on iPv6:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8708.html
    Click on Apply Now and close the window.
    Restart Safari, and repair permissions.
    If that didn't do it, then try this as well:
    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.
