Safari is hanging. Too slow to load web pages!

Question

Safari is hanging. Too slow to load web pages!

I was wondering if someone can help?

I have OS X 10.4.7 and when I enter a web address,
Safari starts loading for the first second than hangs.
Wont load. Its like its stuck. Then I stop the loading process then hit return , and it loads fully - no problem.
So I have to re-highlite the url address then hit return.
So Safari by itself is not loading the pages. It needs a little helping hand. Why is this? It used to before.
Maybe is it because I got D-link wireless router in the chain now?.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks / Alexis

Hello Alexis:

There is a separate Safari forum:

http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=169

In that forum, there are a number of people who can, I think, help resolve your problem.

For openers, clear the Safari cache and trash the preference file (com.apple.safai.plist).

The wireless configuration could be an issue, but it is hard to tell at this point. You could eliminate tthe router temporarily to see if that is an issue.

Get OnyX it has an option to speed up Safari. Or get Opera it is faster.
