Safari Slow Browsing

Why is safari 12.1.2 so slow with media feeds like facebook? I have superfast broadband yet compared to other websites the scroll is soooooo slow. There's no regular scroll as it pauses and hesitates the whole time, like its playing catch-up, or somehow micro-buffering, yet in other browsers I notice it doesn't have this continual lag and stutter..

Are you running any anti - virus programs? Using a VPN?


Try setting up another admin user account in System Preferences/Users & Groups to see if the same problem continues. Please post back on whether or not this worked. Also try the Safe Mode. Please post back on whether or not this worked.

Anyone having a problem with safari lag in Catalina? While playing Sirius Xm on web and trying to do other stuff on safari I have serious lag. I emptied casche and did restart. Still the same.

While using chrome I set up same scenario and it runs like lightning..

I would rather use safari but it’s just so slow and I keep getting the colored ball?

Suggestions?


I never had any extensions
