Safari 4 takes ages to load a page randomly

[parisv]

I've got safari 4 on 3 different mac's all running leopard with latest updates.

When browsing the web randomly it decides to take ages loading a page even sites like google. To make it load I have to stop it then press refresh.

I've tried unticking the fraudulent sites box and repairing permissions in disk utility, but i still get the same problem on all 3 mac's.

Can anyone help?

Have you tried other browsers like Firefox?

I second the motion to try Firefox. Also install the Adblock Plus add-on from addons.mozilla.com.

If the pages speed up, then it is most likely due to an ad site being very slow.

yeah firefox loads the same page ok!

I'll try that no addons thing, thanks.

Or SafariBlock for Safari, works with Safari 4 as well
