Why certain sites slow to load on Macbook

Hey there,
Any of you super savvy sleuths able to tell why a certain site may load slowly on my Macbook and super fast on my iMac?
Both have lots of memory and are running the same operating system.
One of the sites is:
http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?query=92029
The actual forecast content and table content takes up to a minute to load.
As well, my bank accounts take a long time to load after I have logged in to my bank site.
Is it a Java thing?  A flash thing?
Thanks

I think I found the issue.  I had an extension enabled called "Shortly."  I disabled that extension and all is well again.

  • Internally hosted sites slow to load through proxy...

    Hi Everyone,
    We're having some issues with internally hosted sites and apps loading slowly while on the internal network. We host a Moodle site, a Joomla site, an Exchange 2007 mail server (sorry, no more GW), and a Senior Systems server. All of these, except for the Joomla site, have an SSL cert from either GoDaddy or Verasign. If you're outside of our network the sites load just fine.
    We're running a Netware 6.5 SP2 box with BM 3.8 on it and use the proxy. We use both IE 8 and Firefox (from 3.0 to 3.6) with either manual proxy settings with exemptions for the above sites, or a PAC file with the same exemptions. I don't believe the PAC file is the issue as the slowness still happens when configuring the proxy manually within the browsers. When a user tries to go to one of the above sites while on our network, the pages won't load for around 5-10 seconds. The browser will say it's connected to the site, but it just sits - and then the page will just pop into place. The Senior Systems server is particularly bad, as at times only the background color loads and a few minutes later the login box will load.
    We have our DNS and DHCP servers running on Windows Server 2003 boxes.
    Thanks in advance,
    -CR Hiestand

    so if i understood correctly, you do not use proxy to access this sites
    from inside, correct?
    But traffic is still going thru bm, correct?
    otherwise i do not understand why bm is on blame of the slowness. As
    logn as you do not use the proxy, bm is not involved.
    Best approach will be to take a lan trace and see where the delay happens.

  • Edge animation in Wordpress site slow to load.

    Hi clever Edge people.
    I have an (simple) Edge animation I am putting into a Wordpress site but it takes forever to load when looking at the site on a browser - trying it on ipad, Google chrome, firefox, and safari. The .oam file is 1.9mb. Is that big?
    Here is the link (site in development so kinda messy!):
    http://everywhereyougo.co.nz/2012/11/shakespear-regional-park-2/
    How does it load for you? Any clues about why it is slow?
    Thanks!
    Lisa

    Hi Lisa,
    first of all thanks for using EdgeSuite for wordpress. Did you use shortcodes? Would it be ok to use your site as a reference for edge suite, I would list it on edgedocks.com if you would agree?
    Now to your question: By looking at the network traffic you can tell that your homepage is more then 3.1MB big, thats quiet a lot. Use google pagespeed extension for chrome, yslow for firefox, the network tab in firebug or just http://www.webpagetest.org to get an idea of what's going on.
    For example, the three icons FB, twitter, vimeo are each 500KB big, so these three icons are already have the size of your page. That is one thing to fix, but probably not the only reason for your composition to load slowly. You are using a lot of small assets, it just takes some time to load these. Does the composition load right away locally? If you want to further reduce loading time you could use spritesheets. You can combine small images within a bigger image and clip the focus when using the image as a backgound for a div. And try to reduce Photo1 2 3, each 150KB big.
    What about adding a preloader for the animation, the then user at least knows that there is more to come.
    Just suggestions.

  • Certain sites do not load properly. I have to click the Stop loading page button, the click reload page to fully load the site.

    Using Firefox 6.0.1 on Windows XP SP3. When I navigate to certain sites (nytimes.com for example), Firefox loads most of the page, but some graphics are missing and the green circle in the tab keeps spinning. Typically I have to click the Stop Loading Page button, then click the Reload Page button to get Firefox to load the remaining items in the website. Seems to get stuck with images.

    This type of problem is normally caused by using an incompatible add-on. For details of how to troubleshoot this to find out what one is causing the problem see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes

  • HTTPs Sites Slow to load on Single Server 2008 R2 Box

    Hello All,
    I have an issue with our new server where https sites are slow to load or do not load at all in IE 9 or Google Chrome. Using Firefox any page loads fine. I have tested many things, reinstalled IE, downgraded to IE8, upgraded to IE10, checked
    the forums, tested SSL settings and still get the same issue.
    For example if I open IE, navigate to google.com I will get a "waiting for google.com" that will sometimes take 5 minutes to load; the same behavior is noticed on Google Chrome but not Firefox. I did notice that if I installed google.com
    SSL certificate that the page would load normally. I have tested the same method on another Server 2008 R2 box with no issues. I am not sure what the issue could be. Any ideas or direction would be greatly appreciated since this is directly affecting business
    for my client.
    Thank you!

    As Google Chrome is using some IE settings, it might be normal to have a similar behavior.
    You can try to reset IE settings: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737/en-us

  • All video content on certain sites does not load or even appear. How do I fix this?

    On most websites, all video content is loading fine. On one or two particular sites, the video does not load, but is simply a black box. I disabled all my add-ons, and that did not take care of the problem. I disabled the Enable Hardware Acceleration option on Flash. This did nothing. Please help me fix this. I am at my wit's end.

    On Soccer Highlights, because I have Flash set to "click to play", I first need to activate Flash before the black boxes show any content. There is an infobar which slides down or I can use the plugin notification icon (looks like a small Lego block) in the address bar. (Screen shot #1, #2)
    Next I click to play and I get an ad. Of course. Followed by content. So it should work.
    When you say you disabled all your add-ons, do you mean you tested in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions (but not plugins) and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
    ''If Firefox is not running:'' Hold down the Shift key when starting Firefox.
    ''If Firefox is running:'' You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    and OK the restart.
    ''Both scenarios:'' A small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Refresh).
    Any difference?

  • Certain sites are not loading.If user clicks on the links,the page loads as blank.Rest of the sites are working fine.

    I had opened a couple of sites along with marathimoviesdownload.blogspot.com.For the last site, I received a error message about the security settings.I clicked on the "Get me out of here" link. After that websites that I had open in the initial tabs.. along with marathimoviesdownload.blogspot.com are not loading.
    If you click on the links for the website like uploaded.net etc,the page opens but the contents do not load.
    This is happening for IE as well as Firefox.
    I have tried by uninstalling Firefox,deleting the previous install data.Re-installed the latest Firefox version.
    Next I tried with your online support topics similar to mine. None of them have worked.
    Thanks,
    MaddyJ.

    Unless you are using a proxy, the same web address should work
    regardless. Disable it for now and check.

  • Certain sites do not load at all.

    Sites not loading and not getting any error messages all it says is "Done in the status bar" but the page stays blank. For instance www.newyork.com does not load in firefox but it does in Safari. I have noticed many other sites doing this. I have cleared my cookies and cache hundrets of times. Help please.
    == URL of affected sites ==
    http://www.newyork.com

    You may be 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 coming from 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] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. 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 theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
    If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

  • Does Adobe work with iPad? I do a lot of work for my business on my iPad but feel like certain sites don't load properly?

    I Use my iPad for most things as I'm on the go a lot. I don't know much about computers but seem to run into problems with accessing site that use adobe flash? Is there away round this with apple?

    No.
    Apple iPads and iPhones don't do Flash.
    The workaround is for those sites to drop Flash and update to use HTML5 instead.
    Got any examples of these sites? Are they mainly using Flash for photo galleries?

  • Internet sites slow to load

    when opening internet site I get spinning fan for extended periods of time. This just started happening a few months ago.

    You've absolutely no need for anything like Webroot SecurityAnywhere. I'm sure that it's what's mucking up your access to some sites.
    The best thing that you can do is to uninstall Webroot according to the developer's instruction and try to get your money back.

  • Why is firefox slow in loading?

    Have to wait 2 mins for firefox to open and when it finaly opens have to wait 10 mins for a link to open. Firefox is the only browser I have as I have deleted everything on my computer. Have also cleared my history etc and the problem still exsists

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    Also check your security software (firewall, anti-virus) and make sure that it doesn't restrict Firefox in any way.

  • Time Capsule will not load certain sites

    When I've selected my Time Capsule as my network, internet browsers run slow and certain sites will not load at all.  In particular, Yahoo will not load, so I have trouble accessing my email.  It works fine when I switch the network to the wireless router supplied by my ISP.  I'd rather default to the Time Capsule to use the backup function automatically.  Does the Time Capsule have the ability to block sites?  If so, how do I clear them out?

    Ok.. you missed the point.. sorry if I used jargonese.
    Factory reset the TC and start over.
    The Factory Reset universal
    Unplug your TC/AE. Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on..  all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec. The time is not important.. it is the front LED rapid flashing that indicates you are in factory mode.
    Release reset.
    If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have released reset at some point and try again.
    Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel..  add no more pressure after that.
    TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
    No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
    Give the TC a simple name.. eg TCgen5 (or whatever Generation it is).
    Give the wireless a simple name.. eg TCwifi when you do the setup with the airport utility.
    DO NOT USE APPLE NAMES recommended by the utility. They are WRONG.
    For PC they need windows compatible names. You are not giving them windows compatible names with
    Fred Blog's Airport Time Capsule
    But TCgen5 is fine.
    What modem are you using?? Make and model please.
    If the TC has a double NAT issue it will say so.. ie in the airport utility you will an error.. double NAT. Please if you have a double NAT error do not ignore it.. fix it. ie the TC should be in bridge not router mode.

  • My site will not load in design view?

    I can not figure this out for the life of me but I am hoping someone here can give me a simple solution. I have spent endless hours trying to figure out why my site will not load when attempting to open any of the template or html files of my local site in design view. They open fine in Code view but when I click on design view, I get an hour glass that only goes away if I close dreamweaver using ctrl + alt + delete and use the task manager to close the process. My web address is www.thebluedot.net if that helps...
    Any web pages outside of my actual site open fine so I am not sure what is causing the issue with my site itself? I have opened the template and have deleted all the code from it and attempted to view the file in design view and still get the same problem. Is there perhaps something simple that I am overlooking? My site worked fine in design view several days ago and I can not think of any changes that I made that may be causing the problem. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the entire adobe suite and I am still having the issue.
    I am running on Windows Vista and have 4 gigs of ram and a 2.6 Core Duo processor if that helps.
    Please help me out here. Really would appreciate any help you can provide!

    Really appreciate your response.
    I am using Dreamweaver CS4 and I tried deleting the config folder. Still no luck...
    Eerything opens fine except for files fom my site. I have deleted the site from Manage Sites and recreated it but still am having the same problem.
    When I delete the Configuration folder do I have to reset it up some how? Why is dreamweaver rendering all my other files outside of my site folder successfully in desgn view and not giving any other files an issue? I really hope I can get this resolved soon.
    Again, appreciate your help.

  • Certain web sites won't load on any browser on Macbook Pro

    Starting yesterday certain web sites won't load on any browser (Safari or Chrome). These include sites like the New England Journal of Medicine, Washington Post, and English Bulldog News. I get an error message in Safari that the server took too long to respond and in Chrome I get a connection timeout error message. I updated Adobe Flash with a clean install as I was unable to update using the standard method due to connection timeout. That restored my access to YouTube video but today it takes ~2 minutes to load a YT video. Web sites are loading fine on my phone and household PCs.
    Not sure if it is notable that my internet loading capacity has been very slow for some time. I worked with the internet company to increase the network speed but my computer has not seen benefit. No problems on the PCs in our house but my Macbook very frequently gets partially "kicked-off" the network as indicated by yellow lights seen next to the "internet" and "server" items in my Network Diagnostics utility.
    I looked at old threads and ran EtreCheck (see results copied below) as was recommended to another user several months ago, but would appreciate any thoughts about where to go from here. Could it be malware? Or just a classic case of operator error? Here are the EtreCheck "red" items extracted from the full report below:
