Why is my Safari slow???

For some reason, after I reformatted my computer, Safari doesn't seem to load properly anymore. My other browsers are still fast, but my Safari isn't as fast as them like before I reformatted. Anyone know whats going on?

You have to give yourself a few weeks before your computer will be back to regular speed. It takes awhile before all the program you use and don't use get cached properly. This is especially true for the first week or two, when you're installing tons of stuff.
What???

  • Why is my safari slow on my macbook air after update to yosemite

    I updated my MacBook Air to Yosemite a couple of weeks ago.  Since then several websites I frequently use take very long to load and some features don't load at all (i.e. fitbit dashboard).  Before the update all worked fine.

    Hi Allen, I too have had similar issues. Could I get you to look at the Etre report I just ran and offer some comments? Would more memory help anything? I kind of hesitate to do that on a whim with a machine this old.

  • Why is my safari deal slow?

    Why has my safari suddenly slowed down.  I cannot even type anything without having to wait for a long time.

    Try to Full-Reset the safari. It may help you.

  • Why has my Safari and MAIL slowed after upgrading to Mountain Lion on my MacBookPro ?

    Why has my Safari and MAIL slowed after upgrading to Mountain Lion ? I have mid-2009 MBPro and have very fast Internet access router.

    I have noticed the same thing on my MAC.  Mail has become very "clunky"- Before Mountain Lion, whenever I clicked on a msg or a function (delete), it would respond immediately.  With Mountain Lion there is an unacceptable hesitation.  What is going on with this latest update?

  • Safari Hangs when multiple tabs and windows open [was part of safari slow-]

    This is to create a new topic with regards to Safari, but with many windows and/or tabs open.
    Some have posted information in the previous topic, i.e.: safari slow - has anyone talked to someone at Apple?
    This post will be specifically about hangs and ball spinning cursors when many windows are being used simultaneously within Safari.
    Please post your comments below.

    No worries have sorted it now...you need to go to;
    System Prefences-->General-->Untick the box which says 'Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps' (A couple of lines from the bottom)
    And then most importantly restart the mac.  It was this last step I never did and thats why I couldn't get it to stop this unwanted behaviour.

  • Safari slowness issues...affect more than Safari...***?

    Safari started giving me trouble loading pages on the 18th of November. I DO NOT use Yahoo mail or any other remote mail (except I do check mail at .mac before downloading). Absolutely no recent software updates.
    Had my provider PING my computer, check signal, connected directly to cable modem vs. router....same problems.
    Mostly it's that Safari is slow, gets "stuck" loading pages or intermittently fails to load pages ("can't find server"). I also notice that Mail is delayed and even System Preferences' dock icon bounces a lot and delays before opening. IE is better for speed but still is delayed.
    From the posts it seems people are having various internet issues related to Safari so it seems to be something related to apps vs. individual computers.
    Any idea on a fix? Could it be spyware or a virus? Should I go to another browser, and if so, how do I download it when Safari is being so naughty?
    Maybe people can post what all apps and sites they are having a problem with so Apple can get a handle on this. I'm glad to see the other posts here because without knowing that others are having this problem, I'd feel like I was going crazy.

    I should also add that apps like Word and Quicken load effortlessly like they should. The slowness seems to be associated with anything internet related (though I don't know why System Prefs is slowed on startup). I am using Safari 1.3.

  • Safari slowing down my system?

    I swore by Safari when I first started using it back in 2008, but the latest version with 'webkit2webprocess.exe" is causing some huge slow downs.  I just can't figure out what's wrong, and why safari is sudenly a lumbering beast instead of the sleek predator that it used to be.
    My system constantly caches, the bhard drive is constantly w eatorking with this thing installed.  It eats up RAM, and more ram, and never dumps anything, untiol there's no more page filing space.  Even now, after I wrote that last sentence my HD went active again.  Sure enough, "webkit2" is eating up naerly a half gig of ram.  And now when I type, I can't see what I'm typing.  and now it's eating up my video ram because I've run out of file page space.
    who the upgraded this thing, the marx brothers?
    thjis used to be the best brower on the market, but hnow it's JUST a piece of ram eating junk.

    I also finger McAffee as the culprit, it's not necessary on Mac's as of 10.6.8+ Apple installed their own anti-OS X malware detector and it checks for updates like every 26 hours or so.
    If you need to clean the Windows malware off their files, the free ClamXav does the job nicely and doesn't bugger up the machine as it's run as you need it.
    For your other slowdown issues, I suggest you look through these tips of mine, my Snow Leopard is incredibly fast.

  • TS4268 Why is keyboard so slow responding now i have IOS7?

    Hi can anyone tell me why my keyboard has slowed down on my phone since upgrading to IOS7??

    I agree, completely unuseable. Same thing on four different machines, with or without AdBlock. Safari, Opera and IE all work fine.

  • Safari & slow internet

    Hi all
    Brand new 21.5" imac 2.5GHz Quad-Core i5. 48hrs trouble free then... Safari hanging, not loading pages. itunes downloading movie at snails pace. Internet contection across all devices on home network crawling. Not ISP issue as tests showed 10MB speed. Disabled icloud... G3 imac, iphone & itunes speed back to normal but safari still non responsive. Several restarts later, managed to get it working long enough to download firefox. All appears to be ok but...
    will it all go sideways when I re enable icloud?
    why doesn't safari work outta the box?
    Up until now absolutely no issues while running G3 imac & G4 MDD, both running tiger, so really don't think an ISP (Virgin Media) issue.
    Any help & ideas greatly appreciated

    If you are talking about the general Internet that would be one thing but if you are talking about this Apple forum, I have found it has been EXTREMLY slow rendering a topic for the last few days.
    That was true in any browser and even in Windows.
    Seems OK today.

  • Safari slow after installing TalkTalk Fiber Optic Broadband.

    Why is my Safari browsing so slow after connecting to TalkTalk's Fiber Optic Broadband connection?

    I installed Firefox browser which resolved my problem.
    I have a iMac with Safari as my web browser. I recently signed up for Fiber Optic Broadband Connection with TalkTalk who assured me that my internet connection will be at least 30Mb/s - as opposed to my 9Mb/s. So I did the switch and signed up for the Fiber Optic Broadband. To my horror, my web browsing became snails pace when I changed the router to the Supper Fast Router necessary to be on the TalkTalk Fiber Broadband (especially for Google home page and much worse for Youtube). I asked TalkTalk for assistance and they could not help. I then downloaded the latest Firefox browser and found that the slow speed problem was no more! I immediately removed Safari from my Dock and replaced it with Firefox. Problem Solved! :-)

  • Why does my safari browser frequently gives me a gray screen? I resetted my safari many times and it doesn't help. Also sometimes when I scroll it gives me this weird scrolling effect where everything is either upside or messed up.

  • Why does Photoshop keep slowing down?

    I've been using Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 for two years now, and for some reason it seems to have the problem of slowing down after using it for a while, so if I'm working on a project I have to keep closing it and reopening it to get it fast again. It's weird because it doesn't seem to matter how much stuff is on the canvas, it's just how much I've drawn and hit undo and erased or did anything, After like 5 minutes of straight work it just gets too slow for me to work in, like when I switch tools or change the color it takes a couple seconds to respond. So literally every couple minutes I have to restart Photoshop and open the same file.
    What's really odd is that sometimes Photoshop will work perfectly fine and stay lightning fast for hours. Like, for the last couple of months it's been 100% fine, but since a few days ago it started to have this "slowing down" issue again. Every couple months it seems to decide to be perfectly fine or just really annoying. I didn't change anything in my computer.
    It can't be my computers specs or my settings in Photoshop, but I will tell you all of that anyway.
    OS - Windows 7 64-bit
    CPU - Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 3.0GHz
    RAM - 12GB DDR3 @ 1333MHz

    There is no malware scanner running, in fact I have tried closing out all other applications and unnecessary processes to help improve performance. No luck.
    Also, my post actually wasn't quite finished, but my internet shut off on me last night and I guess that just automatically posted whatever I had done before then. What's even better is that the forums won't allow me to edit it. What great features!
    Anyway, here's the FULL spec sheet of my computer...
    OS - Windows 7 64-bit
    CPU - Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 3.0GHz
    RAM - 12GB DDR3 @ 1333MHz
    GPU - NVIDIA GeForce GTS 450 1GB
    Storage - 1x 128GB SSD (OS installed on), 1x 750GB HDD, 1x 160GB HDD
    I have the 64-bit version of Photoshop CS5.1 Extended, installed on the SSD. Here's the settings I have in the preferences:
    Memory Usage - 100%
    Scratch Disks - All 3, SSD 1st, 750GB HDD 2nd, 160GB HDD 3rd
    History States - 100
    Cache Levels - 8
    Cache Tile Size - 1028K
    I have fiddled with these settings and restarted Photoshop countless times. In the end it's the same exact result: Photoshop slows down after a few minutes of work and I have to restart it. I have about 50GB free on the SSD, 150GB free on the 750GB, and about 140GB free on the 160GB.
    I don't understand why it gets so slow even when my RAM usage only makes it up to about 45%. Why doesn't it just utilize ALL of the memory like I told it to?
    I've tried setting cache to 1, 2, and 4, same result. Cache tile size to all the different settings, same result. History states to an extremely low level like 10, same result. I just don't understand why Photoshop is doing this, especially because it decides to speed up on its own every couple of months...
