Hey there guys.

For about a week or so now, my Safari has been loading webpages incredibly slowly. It will often display the message 'server cannot be found/reached'.

I have absolutely no idea what's causing this. I know it's not my actual connection, because I can play World of Warcraft with an average latency of 60ms, and direct download large files at a speed I expect.

Any suggestions as to what's causing this/how to fix it?

Thanks :)
 
Check the DNS server settings in your Network Preferences. And make sure you don't have a proxy enabled if you don't need to.
 
Same problem with Safari

I have noticed how slow Safari has suddenly become in the last week or so - my internet connection is also fine, so I know it isn't that. Anyone got any ideas - getting annoying.
