How to fix Safari slowness and freezing on your Mac
CALL 1800-240-2551
Safari slowness and freezing on your Mac Is Safari still not responding? Patience won’t solve everything. Without regular maintenance, your browsing experience can gradually slow down. Poor maintenance and bad habits can even push your Mac’s resources to the point where slowness becomes a regular part of your browsing experience. If that sounds familiar, it’s time to fix Safari.
Extremely slow internet browsing? Stop to keep multiply tabs open One of the easiest fixes is to close Safari tabs that you don’t need to use. That’s just common sense, right? It is, but we all know at least one person who seems to be on a mission to set a world record for having the most tabs and windows open. The trick is not to be that person. Each window and tab compete for resources on your system, so closing what you don’t need is the easiest way to improve Safari performance.
But what if you want to read a site or page later, but you don’t want to bookmark the site? No problem – just add it to your reading list. This will store content that you would want to read offline later. In Safari and other apps, click the Share menu and choose Add to Reading List. You can also right-click on a link and choose Add Link to Reading List, or hover over the address bar and click the plus "+" icon.
To access your reading list:
Navigate to Safari’s sidebar, then click the "reading glasses" icon.
Disable DNS Prefetching The point of all of this is to make sure that Safari’s performance isn’t bogged down by having too many open tabs. If you are someone who efficiently manages their tabs yet Safari still crashes, lags or freezes, you should disable DNS prefetching. DNS Prefetching is a feature designed to make surfing the web faster by scanning over embedded web page links and querying your DNS server to resolve each link to its actual IP address. Ironically, a feature that is designed to make your browsing experience faster can actually weigh down performance.
If Safari lands on a web page with hundreds, and sometimes thousands of links to resolve, the process could freeze Safari. If you suspect this could be the issue, disable DNS prefetching using this method: • Open Terminal • Enter the command defaults write com.apple.safariWebKitDNSPrefetchingEnabled – boolean false • Press enter
If you revisit the site that had been giving Safari problems and the performance is improved, then the solution worked. However, if there is no noticeable performance boost, it would be a good idea to enable DNS Prefetching and rather troubleshoot other areas.
To re-enable DNS Prefetching: • Open Terminal • Type defaults write com.apple.safariWebKitDNSPrefetchingEnabled • Press enter, quit Terminal and restart Safari
