Why is Safari so lousy at loading websites? I

I've read the instructions. I continually empty my history. I never at most have more than 2 or 3 windows open. I can't find any instructions for dumping the cache. Google has no issues loading websites on my network, including those sites which get stuck when using Safari. I bought my first Mac in 1989 and have never used Windows and won't. But Safari's failures are a pain. I'm using a 2022 MacBook with the M2 chip. My OS is 13.3.1 and my Safari version is 16.4.

MacBook Air, macOS 13.3

Please read If Safari doesn't open a page or work as expected on your Mac - Apple Support. Some suggestions are more useful than others. For example, if you are using a VPN, don't.


Needless to say, if you are using any non-Apple "anti-virus", "cleaning", or "Internet security" products including "banking security", anything at all in that broad category of utterly useless garbage, don't. A lot of things won't work if you do.
