I'm on 10.11 GM, and I've noticed that for a while now Safari has been have issues in loading YouTube & Google mainly, but also with some other HTML5 websites.

The main issue is with loading the pages. When I open a YouTube page, sometimes it loads fully "in less than a sec." except for a few images, and it stays like so for a while. Sometimes it doesn't load at all "just a white page waiting to load forever". Sometimes the button wouldn't work. Refreshing the page sometimes work, sometimes doesn't.

Anyone got any idea on how to fix this?

I got fiber internet with a speed of around 30 Mbps down, 5 up..
Chrome & FF do not have any issues.. And I've tried turning off all of the extensions with not luck..

Solution: For anyone interested, it turned out that turning IPv6 off solves the issue..

Click to expand...

Try changing you DNS settings to google or OpenDNS
 
I've had this issue since before El Capitan lolol some nights, YouTube legit wouldn't work on Safari, for whatever reason. So in these times, I resort to power-hungry Chrome, sometimes Firefox... implying that Firefox is still actually a thing. /s
 
Same for me Safari 9.0.1 - was driving me crazy.
Also tried the nightly build of Webkit (upon which safari is based)
No dice.

Chrome is OK.
