Hello,
I'm continuing to get this alert at the top of Safari.
This webpage is using significant energy. Closing it may improve the responsiveness of your Mac.
How do I get rid of it?
I'm running macOS High Sierra on my MacBook Air. Version 10.13.4
Thank you,

If the above doesn't work, 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.

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. Click “Share Report” button in the toolbar, select “Copy Report” and then paste into a reply. This will show what is running on your computer. No personal information is shown.
I just recently switched to Safari after using Chrome for the last 9 years. I made the switch for 2 main reasons; 1. Privacy. 2. Performance of my MacBook Pro. I had read that Mac's get better performance and battery life by using native apps. Getting this message kind of makes it seem like the opposite is true. Really confused by this and surprised Apple has not at the least addressed the issue or explained why it does this?
I dont think I disabled any Safari extensions.
I’m not sure what you are saying about the CleanMyMac application, or what you are wanting me to do with the associated parts and pieces??
Yes, and I'm still getting the same error.
Thanks! I had the same problem as the op and your solution worked for me.
I'm just using Safari and it only happens when I'm on Facebook. Still happening today.
I don't know what Dashlane is, so I'm going to say no.
How do I disable all extensions?
I have 0 extensions. There is nothing to uncheck or check.
I did that as I'm experiencing the same issue and it did not resolve the problem.
I have this question, too.
I have it too. I don't like it. Tried everything above. Only since the update. APPLE- this is not a feedback suggestion. Please fix the issue. For the price of a Mac is the best they can do?
I installed update on 4/24 and it did not fix the issue. I have a brand new 27" iMac.
This is a new Security update that just came out today. It is seperate from the update to version 10.13.4.
It might of rolled out to you today, however I installed it on the April 25
and it changed nothing in relation to this issue.
Mine was installed on April 24, so that is not the fix.
"I opened "Develop", "Experimental Features" and unticked "Cache API""
Not being a tech, I have no idea what that means or how to do it.
