Website Data Loads Slowly

I want to delete Safari 10.0.2 cookies for a particular web site.


I select Preferences-> Privacy -> Manage Website Data and enter the domain name into the search box.

The light gray "Loading Website Data" message is displayed, but for long minutes (a quarter hour or more) nothing happens. This used to take a few seconds at most. I don't want to wipe out all the stored information - just reset cookies for a few sites.


Why is it taking so long - and is there a way to speed things up?

macOS Sierra (10.12.1)

You can make "Loading website data" faster if you empty caches first.


Safari > Preference > Advanced


Checkmark the box beside "Show Develop menu in menu bar".

Develop menu will appear in the Safari menu bar.

Click “Develop” to show the dropdown.

Click "Empty Caches" in the dropdown, give it a minute or more.

Click the button twice. Test.

if you want to keep cookies of particular website you have to search in safari > preferences > manage website data select and don't remove it .

As you already said it took hour's to clear cookies as there may be many cookies saved from months .


Also , you said you don't want to delete cookies for particular website , it is very tedious job to search cookies for particular website .


So , to clear it immediately and speed up the process of cleaning cookies is take cursor on top menu bar click on history > clear all history & website data .

This will remove your browsing history & cookies saved for the all websites that had been saved in your browser .


Note : it is recommended to clear history & website at the end of the day .
