Is it just me or is there lag in Safari page loading? I am even having some pages macrumors for instance just give me a blank white page at times. I was on another forum and the page only loaded halfway. It's been a disaster for me, never had any of these problems prior to updating. Smh
Got a tip for us?

Slow wifi in iOS 8?

Yes, Same here on iPhone 5S and iPad 4. Waiting until work tomorrow to test their Wi-Fi to see if its the same. If it is then iOS 8 bug.
I am wondering if the lag has deliberately been introduced to prevent frequent Safari crashing or tabs reloading.
But apart from stuttering keyboard coming up while tapping address bar, Safari feels slightly improved overall. We need to give more time to Apple to iron out few niggles.

All apps seem much slower over wifi on both iPhone 5s and iPad Mini. Same apps over LTE are fine. I thought my wifi was acting up, but both computers in the house are fine. My wife's iPhone which hasn't been upgraded to iOS 8 is also fine. Also noticed when in Safari on wifi the spinning activity icon next to the wifi icon rarely if ever goes away. Normally it's only there during page loads.
wifi fine on the 5, & has been on every beta & every os since i owned the phone on launch day..getting near 60mbps on 2.4ghz & 95mbps on 5ghz, no drops ever. idk how people have all these random problems..

I noticed it was slow in youtube. Home wifi so I know its fast but for the first time ever it loaded a usually HD video in like 240p or something.
Exactly the issue I am currently having.
Any help? Tell me, please, if you find a solution!
I noticed this too I thought my router www bugged. my router puts out wireless n and g so I switched over to g and its working again.. ipad air
Exactly the same thing I am experiencing too. Tried resetting network settings without helping, neither did reset all or even a full reset without restoring from backup. Argh!
EDIT: Tried three difference WiFi networks now, same issue on all three.
Discovering new WiFi points and connecting is also very, very slow. As in often hitting Apple's timeout slow.
I've been banging my head trying to figure out what the issue is. As a dev, I've had the beta for a while. The GM was terrible on WiFi; so bad, I had to use LTE if I wanted any connection at all. When I installed the public release today (and set up as a new iPhone), I had the same problem.
I used OS X's WiFi diagnostics to select a better channel for my wireless network, and that fixed it. So, until I read this thread, I thought that one of my neighbors (I live in an apartment) got a new wireless router that was screwing with my channels.
I'll continue to test it out and see if the slow downs come back.

I see I'm not the only one and yeah it isn't specific to macrumors for me.
Edit: this is a bad safari problem I just lost the ability to even connect online nothing but a blank page and a stuck loading bar, yet Tweetbot and other apps worked completely fine. I had to reboot my device in order for it to work.

run this app & see what throughput u (u as in whoevers having wifi problems which seems like everyone in here but me) get to ur router when the issue is present, on both freq bands. the app tests the local connection between the device & router, not internet speed with ur isp

if that were true then why are no news/rumour sites picking up on this? as there really is no need for safari to slow down.
And if its a bug why wasn't it picked up in beta testing? what do they do in beta testing
