Safari Loading Question

[Ellen]

Hi, I am a relatively new iMac owner. I have a good Internet connection, which my speed tests confirm, but I find that when I navigate to a site in Safari, often the page stalls a bit when loading - in the address bar, I see maybe an inch of blue, it stops, then finishes loading. On rare occasions I need to refresh the page in order to get it to load. Is this normal?

me too

I've been experiencing this recently, and it's really bugging. Often a page will fail to load as if the site is down and jamming refresh a couple of times makes it come back . . .

A lot of times this is due to an ad server for the page being really slow.

Unless it is Safari related I am inclined to think that it is not due to ad servers - at least I was not having the problem with my prior computer running Internet Explorer.
