Slow unresponsive Safari after iOS 18

I have upgraded to iOS 18 and since my iPad and iPhone are having difficult time trying to load pages in Safari. Some apps as well takes sometime to load things as such as video.

the issue is only on wifi. When connecting cellular it works fine.

note that other browsers are functional most of the time even on wifi.

I have deleted browsing history, removed vpn profiles, disabled extensions, private relay.

getting crazy a bit how to fix it and why it work on celluar but not wifi. I don’t want To reset network settings and loose all wifi passwords. I wish I didn’t upgrade

iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 18

That worked for about an hour now I’m right back to square one. Clearing the cache works for maybe one link then stops. I’ve given up and switched over to Firefox. Bye bye Safari.

I’m having the exact same issue. When I open a webpage, it shows for a split second and then it is replaced by an almost identical one but the replacement has no active features. It’s basically a dead page. Have you found any solutions?
