Webpage loading

Good evening,
Over the past month or so, I have been having very slow internet connection. Actually, webpage loading is the problem. If I can explain so you understand: when I have a website entered for search in the address bar, for instance: http://discussioins.apple.com, the address "highlights" as it's searching, but intermittently. For instance, only the first 5 characters of the address highlight, then there is a pause, then the next few characters in the address highlight, pause again. This action occurs until finally. This goes on until the entire address is highlighted then of course, the website loads, albeit slowly. This has never happened before and I have not changed any settings. Any resolve for this issue?
Thank you.
FMW

Hi
if Safari, then it sounds normal for a slow connection.
You might read http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3408?viewlocale=en_US & try different dns for starters.
If that doesn't help & it is just Safari - try trashing Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db with Safari closed. It's Safari's cache.

  • 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

  • Having recently updated Firefox, there now seems to be a long delay before many webpages load. Is there any way to easily revert to the previous arrangement, for example by removing new features that came with the upgrade that I probably don't use?

  • Why do webpages load slowly in iOS 8?

    Why do webpages load so slowly in Safari now that I've updated to iOS 8?

    Hey PatagiceDSavannah,
    It could be an issue with the microphone on your iPhone not picking up your voice. Take a look at the article below to walk you through some troubleshooting to get you talking with Siri again. If you still are experiencing the issue, you may want to reach out to Apple Support to further assist you.

  • Webpages load slowly in Firefox (about 5 minutes or longer for most pages) but load instantly in Internet Explorer. This has been happening for the last few upgrades, but years ago never used to be a problem. What could it be?

    I don't think it's every webpage, but most of them, and all pages open instantly in Internet Explorer but Firefox takes minutes to open a page and just sits there with a white screen while it's loading.

    It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
    If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
    If the problem does not disappear when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.

  • Ever since upgrading to Firefox 4, my webpages load much much slower. How can I go back to the previous version of Firefox and keep my bookmarks, etc.?

    I don't have any details. The Question explains it all. We just upgraded from 1.5 Mbps to 18 Mbps download speed and webpages opened really quick until I downloaded and installed Firefox 4. I have Internet Explorer 9, but I do not use it. I would just like to go back to the most current previous version of Firefox and keep my settings and bookmarks to see if webpages still load as slow as they are loading now. If so, then it's not the browser and I'll have to troubleshoot.

    You can download Firefox 3.6 from this page:
    http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older
    However, I'm not sure of the best procedure for removing Firefox 4. You might want to search these forums a bit for advice so you don't lose Bookmarks and other settings.

  • 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.

  • Webpages loading very slowly??

    I haven't made any changes to my connection lately, but it is now suddenly running very slowly. I'm running 10.4.11 with all updates. The Internet (Safari, Firefox, and Mail) runs very slowly and takes minutes to load webpages, and sometimes doesn't load at all. I have made changes to the router, but it didn't fix the problem. Any suggestions? Should I scan for viruses?

    When websites don't load, I now get this "Road Runner Web Site Suggestion" site that I have never gotten before. This leads me to believe that it has something to do with the ISP.
    Also, I don't lose or drop my wireless connection, it just loads web pages extremely slowly until the point where it sometimes goes to this Road Runner page.

  • Can you help? -- Browser Webpage Loading Problems after Repairing File Permissions with Disk Utility

    Hello,
    I have been experiencing extremely slow startup times and slow application startup times for the past month on my 7-month old iMac.
    I read in many places, including the Apple communities, that "repairing file permissions" using the Mac Disk Utility would help. So I ran it and now all my browsers including Safari and Firefox will not load or take 5 to 10 minutes to load a webpage - especially websites that have login features (eg. Gmail, Facebook, Hotmail).
    As of my last re-start, Firefox will not load webpages and Safari is extremely slow at opening anything.
    Has this problem occured for anyone after "repairing file permissions"?
    And can anyone assist?
    Thank you,
    Shane

    The Solution?
    REINSTALL OSX using the Install DVD.
    I called APPLE Support and we went through a troubleshooting process to rule out Network Issues, Software Issues, File Issues and Hardware Issues. This process was very thorough.
    In the end, we used the Operating System Installation DVD to reinstall the system, which took about 60 minutes including downloading the updates. Reinstallation did not affect any files or lose any applications. Everything was as I left it -- nothing was missing. Easy.
    Now everything is back to normal.

  • Trouble with certain webpages loading

    A certain webpage that I use for work will no longer load.  It will load on other iPads.

    Are you able to share that with us so that someone here can try it and see if it works for us? Or at least share a few more details about the site?

  • Fast Internet Connection, but webpages loading slowly

    Hello everybody,
    this is my first post in this community. So far this group has helped me to solve all kinds of problems I ran into by simply browsing the forum, but this time I hope that somebody might be able to help me directly.
    My wireless network at home consists of an AirPort Extreme Base Station (4th Generation) and an AirPort Express Base Station that are both connected via Ethernet to a Cisco Router. I have a cable internet connection and I use the Cisco Router (which was provided by my ISP) as an interface between the cable socket and my two Apple base stations. However, only the AirPort Extreme Base Station is used to create a wireless network. The AirPort Express is used only for AirPlay.
    For a couple of months now, I have been experiencing an odd problem. Webpages take a very long time to load on my MacBook Pro (13'' Retina display), my older MacBook, as well as on my girlfriend's MacBook Air (11''). Sometimes the pages load for so long that there is a timeout before the page is loaded completely. I experience this with all kinds of web browsers (Safari, Firefox, Chrome). The odd thing is that only the loading of webpages seem to be affected. Internet Downloads, Video Streams, etc. are still extremely fast. I get the following results on speedtest.net (after spending 1 minute to load the page):
    - Ping: 9ms
    - Download Speed: 38.55 Mbps
    - Upload Speed: 7.62 Mbps
    Also, when connected to the network with my iPad or my girlfriend's iPhone, pages load with a normal speed. We experience the issues only on our Mac computers. Outside my home network all computers load pages as quickly as they should.
    Here is a list of things that I tried:
    - Restarted AirPort Extreme Base Station and Cisco Router
    - Factory Reset of AirPort Extreme Base Station and Cisco Router
    - Downgraded AirPort Extreme Base Station from 7.6.1. to various former versions and back
    - Changed channels of the Airport Extreme Base Station
    - Connected to AirPort Extreme base station via Ethernet (pages still loading slowly)
    - Ran Activity Monitor on my Mac, but found no activities that could cause the Mac to slow down
    - Ran Network Utility and sent a ping to google.com, but experienced no traffic loss
    At this point I am really running out of ideas on how to solve this. Does anybody have a clue what might cause this?
    Best regards,
    Georg

    HI tzbikowski,
    thanks for your message!
    I added 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 to my DNS server list. This has definitely improved things. Pages are loading quicker now, but it's still far from the speed you would expect. Could you elaborate on what you mean when you say that the cisco settings should be correctly propagated onto LAN? When connecting to the Cisco router through the admin interface, it mentions two different DNS servers that the router appears to use (I guess those are provided by my ISP). Are you referring to these servers?
    Thanks!

  • Webpages loading a white screen

    I updated my operating system to Mountain Lion 10.8. Certain webpages try to load but then just turn up white.
    No proxies are turned on, I cleared my cookies, restarted my computer, and the whole bit, and nothings working.
    It's really frustrating because I lot of times if I try to click a link a friend sent me or a link on a website it just wont load.
    Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

  • Webpages loading slow (with any browser) but internet is working fine?

    My appologies if this question has already been asked, I searched and couldn't find an answer that could help me.
    Since a few months ago, my Macbook has had trouble loading webpages either incredibly slowly, or not at all. If not at all, I get a message saying the server is not responding. The internet service is working for everyone else in my house. I
    I've tried using Safari, Chrome, ect. It's all the same. I've pinged the backbone of several sites and it's all come back fine. I've tried flushing the DNS cache, and I just recently had my hard-drive replaced because of another issue and this problem has still persisted.
    Does anyone know of any solution or the cause to this problem? Any help would be much appreciated.

  • Did you know that a phone number from a webpage loads to your contacts?

    Very cool - I was looking up the phone number of a restaurant on its web page using my iPhone; the phone displays all telephone numbers as blue links - touch it and the phone dials. But, this I didn't know, the phone also names the number and puts it in your contacts list! No $1.50 calls to 411; no reason to write down or enter the info yourself, it's there! And if you don't want it for some reason, just delete the contact. Who would want that "ZUNE" thing when Apple's products anticipate what you want to do? I love my iPhone!

    Interesting - it somewhat works for me.
    I have used Safari Google (m) to find a business, clicked on the found link and iPhone took me to the Maps application, tapped the info bubble in the map, and it formatted the new contact for me, Name, phone, address, webpage etc - and gives me the choice to create a new contact or add to existing contact. I've used this feature a few times in the wild, but never noticed the contact being created automatically without a confirmation.
    First time it happened I whooped out loud (on the street) - okay, I'm a geek.

  • With the latest release of Firefox some webpages load as text only, refresh then causes some to load properly

    some still fail to load properly after a refresh.
    This has been occurring over about the last two days or so.
    The one listed below still fails to load properly

    Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
    Try to reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
    *Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
    *Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
    *Press "Command + Shift + R" (MAC)
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
