Turn off "This webpage was reloaded because it was using significant memory"

Hey Fondor12000,

We understand you're using some memory-intensive web applications in Safari and these webpages are being reloaded due to significant memory usage.

While there's not a way to disable this feature, as it's designed to keep your Mac performing as expected instead of locking up due to a lack of memory, you can take some steps to reduce your memory usage and as a result, help prevent this from occurring.

The best way to do so is to rule out or uninstall any Safari extensions which may be installed. You can disable and remove extensions by going to Safari > Preferences > Extensions and unchecking the extensions displayed here to disable them or else tap on the extension and then tapping on "Uninstall".

Next, if the issue persists, we'd recommend testing in Safe Mode to isolate things further: How to use safe mode on your Mac

This will help rule out any login items which may be contributing to unexpected memory usage.

Lastly, you can check what's eating into your memory usage using the Activity Monitor application: View memory usage in Activity Monitor on Mac

If all else fails, we recommend contacting Apple Support to check into any other available options to assist you with this matter: Get Support

We hope this information helps out!

Take care.
