My Safari is just stops and do not load websites when I use 2 Mbps connection. Firefox works at this speed. But with higher data speeds safari opens the websites quickly. Is Safari built for higher speeds only? How to fix this problem? Is there any problem WiFi settings?

1. Power off the router. Unplug it from the wall. Wait a while.
Plug it back in. Power the router on. Wait until all lights are lit properly. It will take a while.
Restart the computer.

Network speed is very much important to load a website , use command and R key on the keyboard to reload .

In safari preferences , keep extensions as off .
Enter in user library macOS Sierra: Library folder
Find folders Caches , Cookies , Saved Application State , select all the contents ( use command and A key on the keyboard ) and delete ( command and delete keys ) them into the trash .
Restart the machine and empty the trash .
If the above doesn't work, go to Safari Preferences/Extensions and turn all extensions off. Test. If okay, turn the extensions on one by one until you figure out what extension is causing the problem.
I tried both above suggestions but still found Safari was slow, finally I deleted all WiFi locations created earlier and then Safari is working normally.
Thanks Dominic and Eric.
You are welcome. Good troubleshooting.
