Why do web pages open slowly?

Why does it often take so long for web pages to open?  The progress/address bar goes part way, then stops, and can take several minutes to finish loading the page.  Thoughts?

Unfortunately no.  The only thing I can think of is that I have an older MacBook Pro (maybe 6 or so), but I have the most updated OS system.  And maybe my older MacBook Pro just doesn't have the processing speed to handle the new platform.  Otther than that...  I'm out of guesses.

    Why is safari loading certain web pages so slowly?

    Emptied the Safari cache lately?
    Press Command + Option + E then quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that doesn't help, try this DNS.
    Open System Preferences > Network > Advanced > DNS
    Click + and type:
    208.67.222.222
    Click + again and do the same.
    208.67.220.220
    Click OK.
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

    Is this any link in any page, or one particular link in a particular page?

  • I can no longer have more than three web pages open at one time.

    I used to be able to have many web pages open at once and go back and forth between them as I pleased. Now--only three. I have no idea why.

    This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions 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.

  • HAVE ONE WEB PAGE OPEN AND SUDDENLY ANOTHER WEB PAGE OPENS

    I can have one web page open and suddenly another web page will pop up. Why? It doesn't happen all the time. Like I said suddenly.

    Another thing you can try doing is scanning for Malware:
    Download and Install MalwareBytes Anti-Malware, run a full Scan. [http://www.malwarebytes.org/ http://www.malwarebytes.org/]
    Download and Run TDSSKiller [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363]
    Download and Install Microsoft Security Essentials [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/products/security-essentials http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/products/security-essentials] (not an official endorsement, but I personally recommend MSE as an awesome permanent anti-virus)
    Double check for all Windows Updates.
    What is the website that opens up? Is it always the same, always different, one of a few, etc?

    Need suggestions. Thank's to take your time to help me.

    It opened fine for me, sometimes it takes the Apple servers a while to respond so may be at that end the problem lies not with your internet connection. That is why people suggest other hosts for commercial sites. I like your site - very good layout.

  • When a web page opens a link in a new window, the new page/window is always blank and all i can do is click on the x in the top right corner to get rid of the page

    everytime i click on a link on a webpage that is supposed to open in a new window, the new window is always just a blank white window/page

    Is there a way for me to determine where on my desktop the new web pages open when I click on links?
    Not sure if that can be done but you can press the Expose   key which will show all open windows.

  • Does anyone know why a web page would suddenly pop up telling me I have a computer virus and need to call them?  When I've called they said they needed access to my computer in order to fix the problem - which I didn't do.  Is this legit?  An Ad?

    That is not legit, it is a scam to gain access to your computer and information.
    You can protect against pop-up adware with the AdwareMedic tool Thomas Reed has http://www.thesafemac.com Tom is a major contributor on these communities and great security guy.

  • Is there a way to control where a web page opens on my desktop when I click on a link in my email (Mail)?

    So while I'm reading my emails, I get a lot of Twitter notifications. I like to just click on the Twitter link & keep on reading mail until I get to the end. But sometimes the Twitter web page opens right over the top of my Mail page. It's not a big deal, but I get a lot of these, so over the course of time it's a big waste of time to keep moving the web pages over to keep reading my emails.

  • 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.

  • Why does redirect page open in a frame?

    Why does redirect page open in a frame? I don't see the point. Can it be made to open in it's own window?

    We now support an option for having the redirect for an embedded form take over the entire window. This FAQ explains:

  • Multiple web-pages open each time I log onto Safari.

    Hi, I have mac os x lion and whenever I log onto Safari multiple web-pages open from last time Safari was used. Does anyone know how can I change this so it only opens one web-page whenever I log on.?

    This behavior is new in Lion.
    You have a few choices.
    Close all windows/tabs before quitting Safari.
    Or (what is essentially the same thing):
    When quitting Safari, hold the option key down.
    Or:
    When launching Safari from the dock, hold the shift key down.
    Or, to disable this behavior permanently for all applications, there is a checkbox in System Preferences, General.

  • TS3274 Web page opens diminished

    Web page opens diminished?

    However when viewing on the web, the page opens at the named anchor position at the bottom of the page...
    That's how named anchors work.  Either move the namedAnchor insertion point higher up on the page or remove #namedAnchor from the link code in your parent page.
