after last update, Safari is very slow

hi, try this go to settings menu then delete your cookies, by clear history and website data.

open safari browser. go to menu then history tab then clear history

i hope this will work for you i am using the same version but it is fresh installed not the update of previous version and it is working fine. Check the activity manager may be there is a third party program is causing problem in safari operations, remove that. as you can not uninstall it and then reinstall because its apple default browser so the second option is refresh the OS.

I have the same issue, but have traced it to my SurfEasy VPN. So long as it is not running, Safari loads and renders websites just fine. Contacted their Helpdesk, and they (of course) referred me to here. I've performed the history clearing and cookie deleting, but no luck. And I'm doubtful reinstalling Safari will be of much good.

MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2017)

macOS Monterey v12.0.1 (21A559)

Safari Version 15.1 (17612.2.9.1.20)

SurfEasy VPN v3.14.67

I have tried to follow your guidance but I am confused I think. I was using Safari as I began this reply but typing was so slow I switched to a different browser and typing is no longer painful. With respect to the guidance you offer though, I am not sure to which settings menu you are referring that will allow one to delete cookies and clear history and website data? If I already have Safari open I note the option to clear my history at the bottom of the History drop down. I cleared "all history" via this method but I see no improvement in the snail's pace at which the letters typed appear on my screen. Could you please elaborate on whichever parts I have neglected to perform so that I might complete your suggested steps and hopefully return typing in Safari back to some sense of normalcy?

Today, replaced my test old iPad with a new one, Safari 15.x on it I believe. I can cry so bad. Totally useless for anything more than the average joe youtube page viewing.

On the same device, Chrome outperforms Safari big time with the same content (3D/js) and allows me to work.

Same cancer on macOS. Shame really. Things started to go bad after release 14.x.

Hi,

I had a similar issue.

I deleted cookies, cache, history and all Network settings and the issue continue.

Then I deactivated the new feature in iOS 15 with iCloud+ (Private Relay (Beta)). And since I deactivated this feature, safari start to work normal again.

Hope this could be helpful.

The only option helpful to me is to turning off Hide IP address. It blocks the website's to load.

I have the same issue. It’s been a couple days safari is very slow. Used google chrome and pages are opening fast. I have iPhone 12 max on the latest software update.

I’m finding everything has slowed, even opening apps, phone, messages etc, since I did the last update. It’s a nightmare can’t use my iPhone 12 to its full capacity
