What's up with Safari constantly reloading pages?
For example, say I'm on reddit, click a thread, read, swipe back there is a substantial pause while it reloads the entire page. Why can't it just use the cached version and be instant? Happens on any site and did not used to behave like this in Lion.
MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion
Posting +1 for how annoying this is. I higher prefer Safari in all other aspects but really considering a swap to Firefox just to avoid this one issue :>
This was happening to me also. Came here, looked at the first page for solutions. Didn't help.
Even though I have no extensions installed, this worked for me:
Safari - Preferences - Extensions - Set to off OFF
Weirdly, now even if i set it to ON again, the reloading doesn't happen.
Now when I slide back, the page doesn't reload! And to think that its been 6 months that I've had this Mac and
kept up with the reloading 🙂
Is this Bug with Safari 8 (OsX 10.10) fixed?
I have the same issue. This is funny, but when I was reading this page I wasn't logged in and when I did it and pressed back button (using track pad) the page was reloaded, but "guest" user was still shown at the top till i pressed "refresh". Looks like reload partially works from cache and partially from the Internet...
What a ******** unaddressed situation. right I am sitting here on my 6 year old PC, surfing the net is 100 times better and a breeze compared to safari on my 6 months old MacBook pro.
Apple start listening to customers. Make safari flip right back to the previous page like explorer, Mozilla and chrome already do!
I have no problem going right back to windows if this kind of unpardonable issues are being unaddressed by a company commanding that much money for products which do not deliver.
Agreed.
I'm afraid it isn't. None of the remedies mentioned in this thread work for me (although the Debug menu isn't quite what it used to be and has different options in it). Combine this with the lack of favicons in the Favorites bar—I have a site's favicon and no text there if I can; quicker to recognise and can fit more in—along with the bizarre address bar URL field, where any attempt to click on the URL and edit it makes it jump from centre justification to left justification, so you have to keep clicking all over the place to insert your cursor, and the fact that the current version of Firefox is dramaticcally faster than Safari, and it seems fairly obvious what you should do....

Hi
I'm running Mavericks on a Mac Mini with Safari 7.1.7
I noticed this same issue.
Right Mouse Click - Go Back was no Reloading Pages
I found the issue to be with AdBlock Extension
However, you do not need to disable the extension. I found in AdBlock Options to activate browser options click or unclick AdBlock Options
It will display this screen.
You need to UNCHECK - Add items to the right click menu. Once you UNCHECK this option your RIGHT MOUSE CLICK BACK browsing will reload pages like always and you still get to keep the benefits of AdBlock Extension.
