cursor freezing or missing?

Upon opening Safari my screen cursor is often missing or takes several minutes before appearing. Sometimes the screen freezes with the presence of the revolving ball symbol present. How do I cure this problem please?

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013), macOS Sierra (10.12)
