Why is my internet speed is fast, but webpages (facebook, google search) load slowly.

This is a persisting problem. Restarting/reinstalling firefox seems to fix it for a short time but it always comes back. The same problem happens in chrome and firefox on my desktop but not on my laptop or smart phone. I've tried switching anti virus software and servers but neither helped. Other Options?

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

Why is my internet speed so slow?

Why is my internet speed so slow. Ohter computers connected to my network are not having this problem.

Hi,
If you feel that your Internet connection is slow then
1)Try to find If your computer is affected with malicious software or scripts,try to remove them and use a powerful anti virus to scan your system.
2)Clear all the cache files and history of the browsers,this may help in increasing the browsing speed.
3)Avoid using browsers which requires flash and Java scripts.And use the browsers like FireFox and Chrome.By using this browser you can increase the downloading speed ,because this browsers don't use and flash and Java script.After doing this check your internet speed in the site ScanmySpeed.com which may provides you the exact speed of your connection without using any java or any flash scripts.

They are not a supported carrier. You'll have to take it up with them.

My Internet Connection is Fast, but Web Pages load slowl

I have tested my connection on several websites. I am using RoadRunner and I consistently get speeds between 3500-4500 kbps. In the past few days I have the same internet speed but all my web pages load really slow. Up until this problem I would click on a link and it would take 2-3 seconds to load the next page. Now it is more like 15-20 seconds. Once I get a page loaded if I download something from that site it is still a fast download.
Any ideas on what could have slowed loading web pages , but download speed still shows really fast?
Your help is appreciated
Cheers
mrjazz

If your download speeds are still fast, it is most likely the broswer that is slow in rendering the pages.
Are you using Safari and if so, do you leave it open all the time? Safari is notorious for hogging RAM and CPU cycles and slowing to a crawl if you do not quit and restart it.

Why is my internet speed slower on my 4g iPod touch compared to my 1g iPad (Wifi only), though we use the same router?

i bought my 4g iPod touch just 3 months ago fromt the US. Internet speed was just fine and working consistently while i was using a d-link router.
my Wi-Fi network is password protected and since has not affected the speeds on my pc or my iPad (wifi only). However, just 4 weeks ago, i bought a new router, an Aztec one. That has not improved or worsened the speeds on my pc or iPad, but worsens only my iPod touch, even though it says its connected and has a full signal strength.
Here are the symptoms:-
1. iMessage is now really slow as after i click send, the loading bar at the top lags.
2. i can't go on to google or any site or app that involves internet connection e.g. Facebook, Twitter
3. I can't purchase or get apps from the App store as the searching takes way too long.
4. Now as i pull down the notifications bar, it shows temperature but no stock; i can't even access the Stocks app
5. I can see the temperature for the day on the notifications, but i cant see the details for the rest of the week like i was able to
6. I now cant read any updated emails on Mail as it takes way too long
I live in a country called Brunei, and speeds are the worst there, yet they shouldn't be this slow especialy when my friends and other devices are working.
So, what's wrong? Is it my new router?

Have you tried a simple reset of your iPod to see if that helps? To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
Otherwise, have you tried any of the troubleshooting mentioned in this Apple support document?

Why is the internet speeds so slow with mountain lion?

I have noticed an significant reduction in Internet speeds since I purchased my new Mac Mini. Same internet connection, more memory (8GB), nice new 27" Thunderbolt display but my Dell laptop handles streaming video (YouTube) much better. Even my iTunes do not run well. Significant pauses on many songs from iCloud.
I have not chnaged the default settings and I have tried Safari and Chrome browers with no noticiable differences. Any suggestions?

That worked. Thanks.

Slow internet speed on Mac, but not on iPad

So, I've just tested my internet speed on my Mac and I got very low results. I also ran the test on my iPad and got the full and regular speed. I noticed that indeed the internet is faster on my iPad. This wasn't happening at all, not that I can remember. Is my Mac's network card damaged or something?

Please answer as many of the following questions as you can.
Restart your router and your broadband device, if they're separate. Any change?
If you can connect to more than one network, are they all slow?
Are all network applications slow, or only some? If only some, which ones?
Is networking always slow, or only sometimes?
Disconnect all other devices from the network. Any change?
Boot in safe mode and test. Any difference?

I have Internet speed 1 GB but Time Capsule last generation is share wifi maximum speed 200 Mb.

I have a TC ME177/LL/A and an Internet speed of 1 GB. My TC is working on WiFi with maximum speed of 200 Mb. Is anybody which has same problem and fix it?

You cannot get even close to your 1GB speed with an Apple router.. that are just not fast enough even on ethernet.. on wireless you can expect a very substantial drop.. 200Mbps is hugely fast internet for wireless to a router.. and that does indicate an actually connection speed (link rate) of something in the order of 600-800Mbps.. wireless is also another form of politics.. it is how to tell lies.. and when found out.. tell even bigger ones to cover it up.

Poor Internet speed, TC 535kbps but through WAG300N 6654kbps

Ok so I took the plunge and purchased a new TC 1TB yesterday and after going through the Airport Utility setup process everything seems to be working apart from the very poor internet speed when connecting via the TC > WAG300N.
Linksys WAG300N Download-6654kbps / Upload-355kbps
Apple Time Capsule Download-535kbps / Upload-348kbps
_*TC details*_
Status: Normal (Green)
Version: 7.5.1
_*Internet Connection*_
Connect Using: Ethernet
Ethernet WAN Port: Automatic (Default) +*I have tried all the options with this setting*+
Connection Sharing: Share a public IP address +*I have also tried the "Off (Bridge Mode) setting*+
TCP/IP
IP Address: I have set manual
Router address: Points to my WAG300N
DNS Server(s): This is set to my WAG300N +*I have tried the DNS addresses from my ISP which still result in the 535kbps Download speed*+
I have tried different Cat cables and different ethernet slots from the TC WAN to the WAG300N, I have also connected my MacBook with an ethernet cable directly to the TC. The hardwired connection still gave me the same speed test results.
I hope I have listed all the information that someone might need to help me out. If you need any further details just shout and I will post them.
One last thing, could this be a faulty Time Capsule?

Good News
I borrowed my father-in-law's old 3COM modem/router to test out my feeling that the ethernet ports on my WAG300N were not playing ball.
I'm now a very happy bunny! setting the 3COM in Bridge Mode and using PPPoE on the Time Capsule I have my MacBook and iPhone the wife's XP laptop and BlackBerry all running through the Time Capsule
My speeds are now as they should be:

Why do certain webpages via google searches (YouTube, google images etc) not load when clicked but load upon page refresh?

I had problems with my Firefox browser being too slow so recently reset the browser (preserved my bookmarks but lost all my plugins). Now I find that when I am searching for something in google when clicking on certain links the window goes blank/white and shows a long url across the top (showing the link was pressed from a google search) and only if I refresh the page will the link load up.
Not sure why this is the case and could use some advice.
Thank you in advance.

Make your Firefox faster
*https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-slow-how-make-it-faster?

How do I scan for a virus? Internet won't often connect to facebook, google, youtube and many other websites while others connect fine.

Serveral times a week I won't be able to connect with facebook, google, youtube and yahoo. Usually it will say:
"Invalid URL The requested URL "/", is invalid. Reference #9.64070f17.1344033131.59fe68f5"
I'm not even using a "/" in the address bar. I'll type in www.facebook.com and that message will pop up. There is also a little white page icon to the left of the address in the address bar. When I click on more info it says:
"The site isn't using SSL. This icon displays for http:// sites. Most sites don’t need to use SSL because they don’t handle sensitive information. Avoid entering sensitive information, such as your credit card information or bank login information, on the page. If sensitive information is being requested on a site not using SSL, consider contacting the website owner."
The same thing happens when I use Google Chrome or Safari. I'm up to date on all my updates. Sometime clearing my history works, but not always. Sometimes rebooting helps, but not always. Sometimes none of the websites mentioned will work. Sometimes only one mention won't work.
Any suggestions?

What make is the router?
What are the firewall settings on your Vista? What puzzles me is that your steam connection is fine and yet you cannot browse the internet.
I am sure you have right clicked on the system tray icon (wireless connection) and chose to repair the connection right?

Why are my tabs so huge and where did the google search bar go?

I know this isn't a big deal but I'm just not used to any of this. I like my search bar in the top left corner and I like my tabs all equally sized. Can someone please tell me what is going on? Can I fix this?

welcome to Safari version 6.
Type google searches in the same place you type URLs and it will figure them out.
The tab size is well, awful, but that's the size they are for now.

PC internet speed is faster than my Macs...?

Macbook: 512 Ram, 2 ghz dual core
PC notebook: 512 Ram, AMD Turon 64 mobile processor (no idea what the speed is, but it was baught 16 months ago, so it can't be THAT fast)
I have some citywide wi-fi service, where one of the access points is 10 yards away from my apartment. I have tried the Mac and PC both in the same place.
For some reason, the internet on my Mac is 10 times slower than it is on my PC, I am using firefox on both of them. I ran the bandwidth tests at Cnet and a few other places, and my Mac gets around 85 kbs while the PC gets 890 kbs. That is a huge gap and leads me to believe that something is wrong here...
Does anybody have any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

just a hunch...
make sure both platforms report speed using the same units....
1 kBps = 8 kbps (small b = bits, capital B = bytes)
if it is no that, then I dont know.

My Internet connection is faster but Safri is slower!

Hi Guys,
I am having problems with the speed in Safari, also it just won't let me log on to Yahoo. I get the following error
"Safari can’t open the page “http://uk.f232.mail.yahoo.com/ym/login?.rand=9o6ig0c9cgf7b”. The error was: “lost network connection” (NSURLErrorDomain:-1005) Please choose Report Bug to Apple from the Safari menu, note the error number, and describe what you did before you saw this message. "
This is seems to be happening when I access Yahoo mail. I have checked Yahoo mail on Netscape and it is working fine.
Also, when I surf the pages seem to stick and I have to wait a while for the pages to load. Once they do it seems fine and navagating the sites don't seem to have a problem. Again on netscape this is fine.
The connection and download speeds are what I would expect them to be and downloading files seems to be quick and problem free.
I am based in the UK. I am using a BT Voyager router and have Airport Extreme wireless connected to it. I haven't experienced any problem over the last year or so but its suddenly started happening. The only real thing that has changed is that BT have upgraded my line to 8Mb but the problems seem to have started a week or two after that.
I have cleared the cache and also the hisory and checked for software updates on the BT Voyager router and also for Airport Extreme and these seem to be fully up to date.
I have also noticed that it now seems to take longer to connect to msn messenger and yahoo messenger as it did before.
My OS X updates are all up to date too.
I have spoken to my ISP and BT and the line seems to be fine.
Is there anything I am missing here?
I have an ibook G4 and am running OSX Tiger 4.8 with safari 2.0.4
Thanks,
Dan

I seem to be having the same problem, for the past week approximately. In addition I have problems logging in to some of my website 'login' pages but not all of them. Yesterday I logged into my 'Picasaweb.com' website and then logged out a few minutes later. Five minutes after that I attempted to log in again and I ended up getting a
SAFARI CAN'T OPEN THE PAGE. -
Too many redirects occurred trying to open “http://picasaweb.google.com/RDLAURANCE?pli=1”. This might occur if you open a page that is redirected to open another page which then is redirected to open the original page.
Now that is all that happens. I can log in just fine on my miniMac, though!
I did a Disk Utility permissions repair as there appeared to be numerous ones listed. I have cleared the cache and history also to no avail. When trying another User Account I get the same problems appearing..... It is driving me bonkers.....! Any additional advice.....or tips?

Internet connection is fine but sometimes pages won't load and I have to restart firefox before everything is okay why is this happening?

Okay three times now I would go to a page I've already gone to (like my email) and suddenly Firefox will say it can't load it even though the internet connection is fine, the cookies settings are fine, and I can get to the site on Google and I can get to the Firefox Homepage. Everything turns out fine when I leave Firefox and then start it again. I never had this problem before I updated to Firefox 4. I want to know why this is happening and what I can do to stop it.

Power off the router. Wait awhile. Power it back on. Wait until all the lights are lit up properly.
Restart the computer.
