Safari won't open links without refreshing page

I've noticed a recent problem with Safari where I click on a link and it hangs and doesn't open. I refresh the page and then it opens right up. Anybody else having this issue? Any ideas how to resolve?

iMac (27-inch, Late 2012), OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)

Empty Caches.


1. Safari > Preference > Advanced

Checkmark the box for "Show Develop menu in menu bar".

"Develop" menu will appear in the Safari menu bar.

Click Develop and select "Empty Caches" from the dropdown.


2. Quit Safari if open.

Option click the "Go" menu in the Finder menu bar.

Select "Library" and then "Caches".

Look for the folder 'com.apple.Safari"

Right click "com.apple.Safari" and select "Move to Trash"

Relaunch Safari.
