If I try to open up and read an email article, after about a minute or so it loads and reloads and reload and reloads making reading the article impossible. It is been going on for quite a while though now its impossible to read an article.

My ipad model MD531LL/A version. 9.3.4. When I open up and read an email article, after about a minute or less, it loads and reloads and reload and reloads, making reading the article impossible. Or, if by chance I am able to read the article then click on another link, I can start to read the article and then it will reload back to the original article I started With. It is been going on for a very long while though now it almost impossible to read an article. I have searched this issue on the web and cannot seem to find anything that really addresses this problem. Deleting my browser history & powering on and off do not help. Any help would be immensely appreciated. Thank you!

I am testing on a PC using Firefox, so I cannot exactly replicate your iPad - but I can switch my 'User Agent' to iOS 9.3 / Safari 9 (601.1)

I see ONLY the little icon on the TAB itself react when the reload happens (about a minute - does not appear to be 30 seconds, but not longer than a minute)

This page is VERY special!

All on the same page, the URL changes as one scrolls down the page.

The gray bar across the page is the 'dividing line'

My best guess is that this page technology is so advanced that iOS Safari cannot handle the complexity!


The only way to be sure is to test other iOS browsers:

Puffin has been recommended by our friend bobseufert as a favorite of his

I Can't seem to copy a link from the article. But you have a point about it being the website. It doesn't seem to happen if I'm a website for a store, yugster or something of that ilk. Only happens w informational sites. News, entertainment etc. the site I tried to c & p was Cnet. Same deal. Loads and reloads

news sites may well have some ReloadEvery minute or so (that is VERY old school technology though)

It would only be relevant on a "list" of articles though

On http://www.cnet.com/ I can sit and watch the page of articles for quite some time with nothing happening

There are a 3 "refresh" parameters in the Page Source that seem to associated with a user's logged in state


It sounds like you may need a quick tutorial on copy/paste on your iPad

this has pretty pictures... 😉

This is a "followup question"

How can I forward a website address sent to me in Messages?

Tap and hold on the address and a you'll see a pop up saying "copy". Tap "copy" and then tap on an empty space and hold and a sign will come up saying "paste". Tap that and whatever you copied will appear.

Well, so far so good. I am using the puffin browser. It's not so great for certain minor places that don't really make a difference so I am just using the Safari browser for those places. And often it is difficult to get to cursor where I want it to be, it just spins that little circle like it's reloading but I know that's not, it it's just the cursor symbol. so to get it where I want it can be a little bit frustrating but hey you can't have everything you know? But otherwise your solution using a different browser is working out very nicely. Thank you very much for your help. I truly appreciate it.
