Q: Safari & Facebook

For some reason over the last few months when ever I am on Facebook, the page with FB freezes. The other tabs work fine so I know it isn't a Safari issue. When I restart the page or reload it, it seems to work fine for a short while but then freezes again shortly after. A couple of other things I noticed is my laptops ram falls drastically. Usually while running I am over 10Gig of ram but when FB freezes, it drops to around 500mb. Also I have an app called little snitch that tells me what apps and when are using bandwidth. When FB freezes the bandwidth also goes to ridiculous levels. Any ideas on how to fix this?

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X El Capitan (10.11.4)
