Web sites loading very, very slowly.

On both the iMac and the PowerBook, web sites (like my Apple start page) load painfully slowly. On the iPhone 2, however, there's no problem — all use the Extreme/Express wireless system in the house. This has happened before — what would cause this? BTW, a download test routinely indicates almost 9 MG.

No change regarding history and cache (though I don't know what tmp. files are). Some sites load in a flash — others stall (though sometimes they have no problem). Bumping the start does help. The DSL modem has been reset. I don't know what else to try. Not running anything new or different. This has been a very fast machine — until now. BTW, I just remembered that this may be associated with a number of unusual Safari crashes (reported to Apple).

There is a specific web site that is very so loading. what can i do

There is a specific web site that is extremely slow loading and once it loads it is very slow logging in etc. Not having problems with other sites

Could be the site's servers are weak or perhaps overloaded at certain times.
Sometimes you may check around online and use information from places
such as this web site to help see if the other ones are working correctly...
http://www.isitdownrightnow.com/
Not sure how useful it is, but last week when craigslist was down, it was
helpful to see what areas and which servers were down; since all of them
did not go down at once. In that instance a Denial of Service attack may
have been to blame. The cause of a site issue may vary.
If the web site has a feedback or webmaster link, you may choose to tell them
when their site is sub-par, in case they are not aware of problems. There are
network tools to see and test web site and internet functions in your Mac's
utilities folder, as part of the system in the computer.
Hopefully their site issues are not too big an inconvenience.
Good luck & happy computing!

Hotmail sign in page stays blank. Every other web site loads ok.

The hotmail " sign in " page stays blank. All other web sites i go to load just fine. My security settings are set to "permanent private browsing mode" I have emptied cookies, the cache, have even tried safe mode, nothing seems to work. Previous versions of firefox have same problem. This is a NEW problem since firefox 4 upgrade. I have to use IE to access my email account which is really annoying. Can anyone help? It IS a firefox related problem because IE works just fine.

Finally figured this one out. Thanks to everyone who answers questions in this forum. After looking at all kinds of similar troubles finally found out what was wrong. IT WASN'T A FIREFOX PROBLEM. I had to adjust the date and time ( right click on the bottom right of the screen on the time, select: adjust date/time and , well adjust the time or date. ) It fixed everything including the warnings I used to get that the site I was visiting was not to be trusted. Thanks to everyone. Keep up the good work.

Web sites loading slower than usual, sometimes not loading at all...

Hello everyone!
I´m using Lion on an iMac (mid-2010) and I´m frequently having problems loading some web sites using a wi-fi. They take much more time than usual to load and not all elements of the pages are loaded, like thumbnails and other images for example.
E-mail, torrent and instant-messaging programs work as usual though.
As you guys might guess, I had no problems using Snow Leopard.
I tried many things to solve the problem: resetting the SMC, setting a fixed ip, resetting the iMac and the router, setting other dns addresses.
They seem to work for a while but the problem eventually returns.
Is anybody experiencing something like this?

A certain real estate web site loads, but not the photos. IE does it OK.

www.domain.com.au is a real estate sales page. Most of the site loads but not the photos, just a word 'House' in its place. I tried same site on IE and it all loaded correctly.

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_do_not_load
It is possible that you clicked "Block Images" in the right click context menu while trying to save an image.
Check the image exceptions: Tools > Options > Content: Load Images: Exceptions 
See [[Options window - Content panel]]
*A way to see which images are blocked is to click the favicon (Site Identification icon) on the left side of the location bar.
*A click on the "More Information" button will open the Security tab of the "Page Info" window (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
*Open the Media tab of the "Page Info" window.
*Select the first image and scroll down though the list with the Down arrow key.
*If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "Block Images from..." then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

Banded web site loads as new window.

When opening allowed web sites, a new window opens for www.redirsvr.com. I have that listed as a restricted site. The page is blank and "allow" is in the corner of the new window. I want to block the popup window completely. And I also want to block the video ads that appear in the lower right corner.
Any settings I need to change or any add-ons solve this?

for blocking Pop ups and ads try this addon. Hope this helps.

Web sites load wrong

New computer. Installed FF 9. Everything working fine. Then AOL (home page) loads fine, but mail had to revert to "basic" mode. Yahoo was fine, now loads with text only (no graphics) and links disabled. IE 9 works fine on all sites. Java is installed. No error messages from failing sites. Uninstalled 9, installed 8, same problem. Suggestions?

Attempting to clear the cookie/cache from Firefox (as suggested with #2 above) didn't work. I found a report associating this problem with aol and was able to use IE with my aol page up to clear the history of cookies. That
seems to have solved the problem. So far, anyway.

Upgraded to ver4 now pogo web site loads but games do not

this morning i updated to version 4, played on facebook then went to pogo. site came up but games did not load

Thank you for that Ralph
I found that I can "customize my toolbar" and get it back as well.
Go to customize, right click the feature you would like and add it.
That was new to me.
Again,
Thanks for your help.

FF8, Win 7.... some web sites load with some items shifted off to the right or left slightly. This does not happen in IE or Chrome. How do I fix this?

I am having this problem on several websites including my iGoogle page, the home page of my nonprofit and others. Also, features like the quick add button in Google Calendar on my iGoogle page are missing or don't work.

If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" as a high value can cause.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"

The display of web sites in response to a search is showing up very small on my screen. How do I get it back to regular size?

I may have unknowingly punch a combination of keys or something on the menu. But the result is that when I do a search, the resulting list of web sites shows up very small in the upper left hand corner of my screen. How do I get the display to default back to regular size? Now the default is tiny type that I can't even read. Thanks.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

How may I stop an unwanted web site which loads on start up?

After looking at this web site, it or an associated web site loads on opening firefox

I just to confirm that you checked the home pages, Firefox can store multiple home pages.
What is the site that keeps on appearing?
If it is the Firefox has updated page, see [[Firefox has just updated tab shows each time you start Firefox]].
You can try running Firefox in [[safe mode|Firefox safe mode]] which will disable extensions and themes to test to see if one of them is causing the problem. If the site does not appear in safe mode, follow the procedure in the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article to identify the culprit.
A possible cause of random pages loading is malware. If you suspect there is a chance that this is caused by malware, try running several malware scanners. It is best to run several as each will pick up things that the others miss. Some scanners you can try are:
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php Malwarebytes]
* [http://www.superantispyware.com/ SUPERAntiSpyware]
* [http://www.lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_free.php Ad-Aware]

* [http://www.safer-networking.org/en/home/index.html Spybot S&D]

Since update, various sites load very slowly and some do not load until "Reload Current Page" is clicked several times.

Since Firefox update (6.0.2) many sites load very slowly and some do not load at all (green circle rotates infinitely) until "Reload Current Page" is clicked on 2 to 12 times.
Returned to version 5. No more slow load.
Automatically re-updated me to 6.0.2 and now slow again.
Returned to FF 5 again and turned off automatic update.
Downloaded 7.0.1 and the problem seems to be solved.

Same here, only that updating to 7.0 or 7.0.1 doesn't seem to solve this issue. Seems to have something to do with loading images (e.g: adobe.com stops loading when "wwwimages.adobe.com" is being loaded. imdb.com, on the other hand, seems to load images very slowly and not all of them).
Safe-mode. disabling add-ons, clearing cache and cookies and checking for malware doesn't help.

Web sites loading very, very slowly.
