Apple Music and Safari are loading slowly on Mac Mini M4 Pro

Mac Mini 2024 M4 Pro - MacOS Tahoe 26.2 - Fast ethernet/wifi connection

My Apple Music App : searching of music/artists is loading very slow; also music that is already in playlists on the app (on my iCloud) is loading very slow...

Also Safari is loading very slow when browsing...

Anyone has an idea to solve this/ or knows why my Mac is reacting so slowly ?

I think it has nothing to do with the internet connection because when I use my iPad Pro M4 (2025) to do the same things on Apple Music or Safari it does load very quick ....

iMac

Apple support also have a useful trouble-shooting article online:

If your Mac runs slowly - Apple Support

___________________

If more help is needed: There are other trouble-shooting steps you can take, if you wish:

Check if third-party browsers, or other open apps running in the background are "hogging" the CPU

See how to: View information about Mac processes in Activity Monitor - Apple Support

Third-party apps : Ad blockers, virus checkers, cleaners and the like, VPN (unless provided by an employer) can also cause interference. Many Mac difficulties are traced to these kinds of unnecessary apps. Try turning them off, (or better yet, use uninstallers from their developers to get rid of them, and their associated files.) Some browser extensions also can cause issues.

Third-party apps you find necessary need to be kept up-to-date in order to not cause compatibility issues.
