Some web pages take long to load

I just recently got my mac and i like it better than my PC. There is only one problem I run into. I have noticed that some web pages take long to load and once they are loaded i try scrolling down or up and the web page lags big time. Also the grapics are not all that great. My PC runs the pages just fine. This is not a problem for all web pages but only a few. Mainly I see the problem on some myspace profiles. I was just wanted to see if anyone knows why I am having this problem.

Welcome to the discussions!
It is slower in a measureable sense, or just a "seat of the pants" feeling?
Go to PC Pitstop and run their test. If you are getting the bandwidth that you are paying for, then it is an issue with your broswer.
I do not like Safari. It is slower than Camino, especially in conjunction with CamiTools. Safari is a memory hog and grabs CPU cycles like nobody's business. I have never had any issues with either Camino or Firefox. Either are much better than Safari, IMO.
If you miss the look of Safari, there are skins and even a great RSS reader that can be added to Firefox called Sage. It offers better RSS integration than Safari IMO.
In my experience, Macs just render pages slower than PCs due to poor coding or IE specific coding that lazy web authors. Safari is one of the most standards compliant browsers out there, but if the pages are coded poorly or browser specific, then there is nothing that Safari can do about it.
You can take a look at some settings, but let us know what speeds you are paying for from your ISP and compare those to the actual speeds. Then we can talk about possible solutions.

Page takes too long to load because of videos

Hi. I have a website that I made, but the page takes too long to load because there are videos on it. Is there any way to stop the videos from auto-loading and instead only load when someone clicks on them to play?

There are several ways to have videos on a page without having them load until they are selected to play. A couple are:
1 - Opening Item in a New, Precisely Sized Window. This test site has 9 videos on the page: PhotoPresenter Animated Slideshow Themes.
2 - QT Movies via Export for Web in QT Player. This method is more difficult to implement.

WRT54GS2 - Page taking too long to load?

Recently our Internet Service Provider turned our internet back on. About a day or two after using the internet, I've been noticing problems with slow internet connection. At times it will load fast, and other times it'll take a little bit too long to load.
For example, I had a couple tabs open this morning and tried to get on a website in a different tab. The page was taking so long to load that it gave up and I got the message "Unable to connect to the Internet".
But I have internet.
On my taskbar, there's an icon in the bottom right corner showing that I have internet connection.
Other times I'll try to load a page and it's just blank, and in the corner of the page's tab, there's just an icon of a white sheet of paper followed by the web title.
How come some pages are taking too long to load and others are loading just fine?
Additional detail if it helps:
I unplugged the power cord from my router and plugged it back in to try and fix it and that didn't work.
My second and third attempt, I refreshed my router. Still nothing.
Also, I have a secure network, password protected.
There have been no severe storms recently that could have messed with the router.
What can I do to fix this issue of a slow loading page?

Hi ashtonlevry, it looks like your router has a messed up settings right now. That could be because you had it on stand by for a while since you said that your ISP has just turned your connection back on.
It's actually best for you to just reset the device back to the default settings and reinstall it afterwards.
To do the proper reset :
1. Press and hold the reset button at the back of the router for 30 seconds while the device is on.
2. Release the button and unplug or power off the device.
Once done, reinstall the settings.

firefox is taking way too long to load pages. I have a very fast internet connection but firefox takes forever to load websites. At first it worked fine and very fast but now very slow??

Hi there!
do you test other browsers?
i suggest to make a clean install of newer version of Firefox like v8.0.

Web page VERY slow to load

I created a website in Dreamweaver CS3, but the gallery page loads very slow. I believe it's from the images, but they want to keep all those images and that size. I used IrfanView to compress the images but to me, the page still loads slow. Here is the web page http://www.kmmcement.com/gallery.html. Is there anything else I can do to help the web page load faster? Thank you!

I think you're missing the point.
You need to actually resize each fullsize image to make a smaller image which will be your thumbnail. Then compress.
e.g.http://www.kmmcement.com/gallery/DSC00486.JPG is 3264px x 2448px.
1. You need to resize that image in Irfanview to 240px x 216px then compress it.
2. Then insert the 240px x 216px thumbnail in your page. (Not the fullsize image which takes far too long to load)
3. Then link each thumbnail to its fullsize version (3264 px x 2448px which is still too big dimensionally for a webpage)
4. Same steps are required for all the fullsize images.

Keep gettng messages to update but it takes too long to load, why?

Keeping getting messages to update FIREFOX. When the link is clicked it takes a very long time to load. Therefore, to date the updates have not happened.

What is taking too long to load with respect to the page you linked?

I recently downloaded a web page but then i deleted history which deleted the web page. there is still a short cut to it but says file does not exist. can i retrieve this as web page no longer exixts

What is an easy web-page creation program for use with MacBook Pro?

Can anyone suggest an easy web-page creation program for use with MacBook Pro? I have used FrontPage with my PC, but am changing to a MacBook Pro.

It largely depends on your skill level. Do you want to write web page code, or do you want to just design something and have it turn into a web page automatically?
If you are more of a designer, try these:
RapidWeaver
Freeway Pro
Muse
If you want to write web page code, try these:
Coda
BBEdit
Dreamweaver
If you really don't want to write the code and want the best experience for your viewers, and you want to spend the least amount of time on it, my recommendation is:
No program at all.
Instead, sign up with a web site company like:
WordPress.com (hosted by them) or WordPress.org (hosted on your server)
Squarespace
Wix
The reason is that these companies have fully operational, nicely designed web site templates that you just fill in with your words and pictures, and they are ready to go. They also give you these benefits:
Already designed to the latest web standards
Already designed to resist hackers
Already designed to work on all browsers
Already designed to automatically adjust the page for readability on desktop, laptop, tablet, and smartphone screen sizes
Already designed for accessibility
Already designed for Search Engine Optimization so that your page will be found on Google
Already designed with social media links built in if you want
It is not like the old days where you build a site in Front Page and you assume it will only be seen on a desktop computer. If you build it yourself with a web page program, do you have the knowledge to make a site that works on all of the different web browsers and mobile devices, and is friendly to search engines and social media? If you don't have those skills, working with a website company can be a lot better, faster, and more reliable than trying to hammer all of that out yourself using code in some app.

I just upgraded to Lion and switched my web page from MobileMe to Godaddy. But since upgrading to Lion a video I placed on my web page no longer shows up. instead I get "plug-in failure". That didn't happen until the Lion Upgrade what do I do?

What's the format of your video? That will give you a hint as to what plugin is failing (or missing).
If you don't know, what's the URL of your site - it shouldn't take long for someone to work out the specifics.

Some web pages do not stop loading

When I am browsing the internet certain web pages do not stop loading at all; the activity icon rotates continuously and when this happens my CPU loads go to around 25-30% continuously across all my cores (2 or 4 depending on the machine I am using) vs. around 2% if a page loaded completely. So this situation is wasting electricity and heating up my machines unnecessarily.
I am using the latest version of Firefox 5 within openSUSE linux 11.3 and 11.4, as well as in Win XP and 7 Ultimate on two separate computers, both desktops.
The problem is the same in any of the OS's I use in either machine, and what is worse, it is happening since some of the last iterations of Firefox 3.6, and then 4 as well.
Disabling all privacy settings individually, or in any combination, do not stop the problem. Nor can I eliminate it by disabling Java, or by using the latest Flash and Adobe Reader versions.
Fortunately, this does not happen in all web sites. Others might load the initial page, but stop loading all subsequent pages within that site or just a few. businessweek.com behaves in this last way.
If I manually stop the loading, as far as I can tell the entire page loaded completely from the first moment. Everything is in there; so apparently there is (are) some kind of a common process(es) where Firefox enters a never-ending loop.

I have the problem using Firefox 8.0.1.
Particularly when loading any '''https:// '''websites and control panels.
This occurs in XP Pro SP3 / Windows Vista Ultimate / and Windows 7 Ultimate.
This did not occur in Firefox 8.0

We have purchased a movie on Apple TV (2) and its taking too long to load, so we want to watch movie on Itunes on the computer but can't find rented movies on the MAC

We have purchased a movie via Apple TV (2) and its taking too long to load, so we want to watch movie on Itunes on the computer but can't find rented movies on the MAC iTunes

Movies rented on Apple TV aren't transferable to another device. If its taking awhile to load then its an issue with your network.
What is your speed via speedtest.net
1080p requires 8mbps
720p needs 6mbps
You can change to SD in settings
Interference can cause issues, verify via istumbler or netstumbler
Should be using ISPs DNS (settings - network - DNS should be automatic)

Web pages are slow to load up.

I am having trouble loading up web pages, they do eventually load but its very slow. I wan't to delete unwanted/ junk files how do i do this

The first thing you should do is check your internet connection, try it out here:
http://www.speedtest.net
One important thing to note is to ignore the ads at ALL COSTS, that mac clean thing is NOT something you want
If your results are 5mbs or less, I would say its your internet connection to check.
Secondly, use an up to date browser such as chrome or safari. If you have any exemptions, turn them off.
Those are some tips I have, I have no clue how to remove junk files to speed up your browsing experience.
Hope this helped

Web pages do not completely load

web pages do not completely load. When I fill out forms for an order the continue button does not show. Other buttons do not show.

Make sure that you allow pages to choose their colors and that you haven't enabled High Contrast in the Windows Accessibility settings.

Movie too long to load

I have some movies that are like slide shows with lots of
pictures. Some take too long to load for peeps who don't have my
fast uploading capability. Do I make another scene and calll it up
somehow or do I use a on enter frame play movie 2 of some sort and
what action script do I need for the best solution.. An example is
at - where I would want to split the flash movie into two sections
without having the viewer click any buttons to load the second part
of the movie. This example movie isn't too bad - but I am working
on one that has more pictures then the rest and it will just take
too long to load... what is the best method to accomplish this?
Sin's arrival
film

But they don't pass through the computer.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.
