Spinning  Beach Ball

Running Late 2013 iMac 27"

Fusion Drive, 24 GB memory, Processor 3.5 Ghz intel Core i7

OS 10.13.3

Safari 11.0.3

About 6 weeks ago a spinning beach ball would delay Safari. It started with a delay pdf a few seconds.

Currently the delay is more like 5 to 7 seconds and appearing more often. Ran Tech Tool Pro and everything checked out fine. Looking to see if anyone else is having this problem and if so what the fix might be.


I also have a MacAir and am experiencing the same problem, I reinstalled the Operating System on the MacAir bit this did not fix anything.

Safari/Preferences/Advanced - enable the Develop menu, then go there and Empty Caches. Quit/reopen Safari and test. Then try Safari/History/Show History and delete all history items. Quit/reopen Safari and test. You can also try try Safari/Clear History…. The down side is it clears all cookies. Doing this may cause some sites to no longer recognize your computer as one that has visited the web site. 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.
