Hi,
My MBPro is less than a year old. All software is up to date.
My new 802.11 AC router is installed without a problem.
Safari keeps lagging in loading pages. Sometimes they just don't load.
I thought it was the router or internet connection but it's not.
Google Chrome is lightening fast.
I've cleared cache, browser history, etc.
Not sure what else to do.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Start up in Recovery mode. In the OS X Utilities screen, select Get Help Online. A clean copy of Safari will launch. No plugins, such as Flash, will be available. While in Recovery, you'll have no access to your saved bookmarks or passwords, so make a note of those before you begin, if they're needed for the test.
Test. After testing, restart as usual and post the results.
Hi Linc
I wanted to wait until after the OS X Update to see if anything changed and it didn't.
I followed the instructions but I did not lose any passwords. The desktop looked the same. My passwords were there. I held down the command and R key while restarting and let go when the Apple Logo appeared.
The Safari issue is a hit and miss. Some moments is lightening fast, others it is snail pace.
I only have one Extension and that's for Last Pass - my password keeper.
The slowdown has been happening for a couple months - with the old router and now with the new. I thought the new one 802.11 ac would speed things up. But every once in a while - I just sit and wait for a page to load. Sometimes it just doesn't load at all.
Any other ideas?
Thanks again
Bill
Update. Computer is going through a slow phase. I text from my Mac and they are lagging. Safari is lagging but Apple TV is working just fine.
I have the same problem, I think is from the latest upgrade.
Normally when I restart the computer that work again.
When the computer go to sleep mode and wake the Safari lost the DNS, because if you put a direct IP (ie http://200.29.172.75/) that work fine.
From some weeks to now I swich to Chrome to avoid problems.
I Think is an Apple issue.
What version of the OS are you using?
Safari/Preferences/Advanced - enable the Develop menu, then go there and Empty Caches. Quit/reopen Safari and test. Then try Safari/History/Show History and delete all history items. Quit/reopen Safari and test. You can also try try Safari/Clear History and Web Site Data. The down side is it clears all cookies.Doing this may cause some sites to no longer recognize your computer as one that has visited the web site.

I ditched the Netgear Gigabyte router and got an Airport Extreme. So far so good. I've also asked TimeWarner to ping the modern and it's working better too. So let's cross our fingers and hopefully this will not be a future issue.
That doesn't work, I have here a Meraki wifi router and an airport extreme.
This is not the solution first you will have the same problem after a long sleep and second you can't depend on one brand wifi router.
Root ask me about my configuration

I'm using my iPhone as a hot spot right now and no problems with Safari. Maybe it's Time Warner? I'm moving to Cox at the beginning of the month so we'll see if it continues. Will post in a month or two with results.
I've tried everything else on every FAQ page and it was either the router (which Airport Extreme seemed to fix) or carrier & modem.
I just update to 10.10.3, the problem persist.
Also mail is involved, when safari lost the DNS, the same for mail.app and not for Chrome
There are nobody in apple showing this point?
I just switch to Chrome, but I must to switch to Outlook too? then I buy a PC 😟
Regards, hope somebody in Apple can help us.
I think I have the solution, that work for me not as good I want but I don't loose the web pages.
I change the DNS in the router.
If you have 8.8.8.8 as DNS network/advanced/DNS you have problems.
I found this link,
http://www.cnet.com/news/google-dns-slowing-down-itunes-and-apple-tv/
Chrome work fine at nay time and with any DNS, I check with three of them.
I don't what is going on, but I believe it's Safari regardless of the device you use. I have tried all of the usual tricks (clearing the cache and deleting the cache.db, etc). Safari is painfully slow for some, but not all, websites regardless of whether or not I use it on my iMac (10.10.3) or my iPad (8.3). I even logged off my account on the iMac and logged in as my wife and her Safari pages load painfully slow or not at all.
It's not a router or connection issue because in every case, Chrome works perfectly well. I tried disabling iCloud Drive on IOS devices and disabling Safari iCloud syncing. Nothing works.
What does Safari do behind the scenes when accessing a website that Chrome doesn't? I can't say for sure it's a recent update, but certainly this didn't happen before the most recent IOS and Yosemite updates were applied.
I'm having the same problems safari 8.0.5 with no extensions. Pages not loading, very slow and some not at all. I've tried several fix methods suggested with no lasting results. I'm thinking a bug somewhere behind the scenes. Very frustrating!
I have the solution... switch to Chrome
Go to Chrome Preferences and push the button <make Chrome predetermined web browser>
The problem is mail that have almost the same problem
