Safari Networking.. What is this?

Just was curious and saw this in activity monitor. Anyone have an explanation on how this works? It was taking up a bit of bandwidth even though I wasn't really doing anything.

Hard to say what causes this.


1. Delete Caches.db


Close all windows and quit all applications.

Hold "option" key down and click "Go" menu in the Finder menu bar.

Select "Library" from the dropdown.


Library > Caches > com.apple.Safari > Caches.db

Right click the Caches.db file and select "Move To Trash.

Close windows and relaunch Safari.



2. Empty Caches


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.


3. Delete Cookies
