Safari Web Content Not Responding

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.

Try un-installing and then re-installing.

Adobe Flash Uninstaller

Adobe Flash Player

Fopr what it's worth I've been having exactly the same problems with Safari and have been all around the houses with reinstalling Flash Player and clearing the cache. In the end, I've given up on Safari and gone back to Firefox which, touch wooden desk, is working just fine.

I've been having the same problem, too . . . (for several weeks or maybe even months). Was involved with other projects, so usually just restart and continued what I was doing — so didn't realize how often it was happening or that it might be related to all the Safari freezes I also was experiencing.

As others have reported, I think it started around the time I updated to Yosemite and the newest version of Flash Player (out of necessity, because I was unable to access other sites).

I'm sure my cash is overloaded, and will empty it if necessary and maybe even Safari history, as well, but would feel more comfortable doing it if there was some way to see what I will lose as a result beside faster access to some websites.

I had the same issues for months now - even with two different machines (i got a replacement macbook pro shortly after i got it - the issue was on both machines). I called the apple care yesterday and got the answer that i should visit an apple store - it may be a broken graphics card. I really thought the apple care service was capable until now...

...broken graphic card? That doesn't sound too good. I'm new to Mac and my first Apple's laptop is a MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013). It's 1 year and 10 months old as of this writing. I found out about this "Safari Web Content" problem shortly after because I noticed that my macbook was getting really hot. Being new to Apple's products at the time, I thought it might be a software issue. I still don't know how to resolve this problem yet.

Well good news: I solved the problem myself. It seems like the people at Apple Care just don't know anything about the machines they're selling. They just follow simple instructions that anyone can google themselves. But this issue has apparently never been solved before. So here it goes:

It's so simple: just look at the activity manager and hover above the task "Safari Web Content". You will see the URL of the website causing the problem. Then just search through your safari bookmarks and delete everything connected to that address (then delete cache and other temporary data). Never had a problem since. Hope this solution will help you, too.

Very good, yoselm.

Very nice of you to share your solution with us.

Very helpful.

Thanks brother. Your method helped me to find out that there was a music site that was causing it. I cleared the the history, emptied the cache and deleted that bookmark to the music site from Safari. Been using the comp all day and so far it hasn't returned, which means it works.

I hover over Safari Web Content (Not Responding) and I don't get anything.

Do you mean Activity Monitor? Not "manager" right? That's all I can figure. I hover the cursor over the Safari Web Content process and nothing happens.

You might want to start your own post since this one is from last year. A new post would be much more visible. You can link to this one.
