Q: safari beachball slow freeze

Any idea why Safari has started getting really slow, hanging, showing beachballs etc.?

 

I've tried:

 

- Restarting it

- Removing all plug-ins

- Disabling Java script, then re-enabling it and making sure I have the right version.

 

Version 9.1 (11601.5.17.1)

iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11.4), 27" Late 2012, 3.2Ghz 32Gb RAM i5;
