Spinning beach ball on MacDailyNews website

Within 30 seconds of accessing the MacDailyNews website I get the spinning beach ball. Once I get it cursor no longer works and the only way to get it back again is to close that tabbed window. It doesn't lock up Safari, just the tab it is occupying.


I am currently running Mac OS 10.13.6 with Safari Version 13.0.2 (13608.2.40.1.3). This has been happening for a while now with previous versions of Safari as well.


Is anyone else having this problem or know how to fix it?

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.
