Safari 9 is so slow. Need suggestions how to speed it up.
Now running El Capitan with this new and supposedly awesome Safari, but good grief, Safari is sooooo slooooowww. I have apple.com as the home page, and that loads at an okay speed. Try to go to google.com and it just hangs -- the progress bar just gets stuck at maybe 1/8 of the way.
If I go to yahoo.com or bing.com, surprisingly those sites load quickly. Perhaps Apple is purposely making Safari access google.com load slowly since it's Google. I don't know.
So I launch Chrome and do the same -- google.com -- and it loads quickly. I go to yahoo.com and bing.com and even apple.com using Chrome and no issues.
The funny thing is, I am using Chrome right now to go to this Apple Support page because I got tired of Safari loading painfully this very Apple Support page. Safari is even slowly accessing Apple's own page.
I really would like to use Safari again but I can't seem to figure out how to rid it of whatever is ailing it. The "Reset Safari" is gone with Safari 9. I had to go to the "Go" command to dump the cache because clearing the cache from the menu items is gone as well.
Thank goodness for Chrome, I can still enjoy browsing the web on my MacBook Pro, which has the Core i7 chip so I don't think it's that that's causing this slowness.
Someone please help. Thank you.
MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11)
