Safari has become very slow, lagging and not loading pages

In the past couple of months I've found Safari incredibly slow, either not loading or hanging on pages etc, and its getting worse. Mostly its a question of the blue line at the top just stopping a quarter or halfway in; occasionally the grey screen comes up to say it couldn't connect to the server. It seems to happen most on facebook but now it's happening almost every time I use my machine. If I reload the page a few times this often works so it appears to be a constant but temporary problem. I've tried other browsers but they seem to have the same issue. My internet speed tests show excellent speeds are available and the problem is the same whether I'm connected via ethernet or WiFi (same issue happens with my desktop Mac as well as my laptop). I've deleted cookies, emptied caches, even changed the DNS server and renewed the DCHP lease. etc. You can probably tell I have a limited understanding of such things so I'm at a loss what to do. Is it something to do with me not having enough memory on my Mac?

It has nothing to do with memory.

Force Quit Safari ( command + option + esc keys). Then restart Safari holding the Shift key.


Turn off Safari extensions in Safari > Preferences > Extensions > un-checkmark all extensions.


Empty Caches. You can either choose Safari menu > Clear History Or, if you do not want to remove History go to Safari menu > Preferences > Advanced and check the “Show Develop Menu” in Menubar. Then, on that menu > “Empty Caches”.

Some other suggestions If the above doesn't work.


Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db and move it to the trash.


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.

If that doesn't work, try running this program in your normal user account , then copy and paste the output in a reply. The program was created by etresoft, a frequent contributor. Please use copy and paste as screen shots can be hard to read. On the screen with Options, please open Options and check the bottom 2 boxes before running.

Hi, thanks for the response - I have done all these things and although re-starting always improves it for a time, it always begins to slow down again shortly afterwards. I've looked at those other links and beyond (which is where I got the advice re: DNS etc) and no luck either. I've just seen a site where they've advised deleting everything to do with Chrome so I've just tried that and restarted - so far, so good. If it solves anything I'll let you know.

Many thanks for the advice. I only installed memory clean, Sophos etc after experiencing these problems but it's good to know they might not be necessary. I'll do the clean up - is there any indication from the report why I might be having these issues? The issues with pages not loading/ lagging/ not connecting is just getting worse and the only thing that solves it temporarily is rebooting my machine....

Hi, I'm afraid I'm still having problems 😟 in fact, I had to reboot Safari just to get this page open... I have uninstalled everything you suggested (I think?) and used Easy Find to mop up, but please tell me if I missed anything.


Once again, thanks for your help!

Hi, its been a while but the issue persists! After removing all the 'cleaning' apps etc its been fine for a while but tonight Safari was barely usable - pages were not loading at all and I kept getting the grey screen saying it couldn't connect to the server. I'm at my wits end - I'm pasting one last EtreCheck, if you or anyone could tell me if there is anything else I could do I'd be really grateful!
