browsers not loading pages.

Newest mac mini this started happening with the new os I think. but on all my browsers safari, firefox, and chrome. certain sites will not load at all or really slowly. facebook will not always reload on safari but may do better on the other two. but the worst is google search. it may fail on all the browsers even chrome. on chrome you will get a error but reloading usually works. like I tried to connect to swappa and none of the browsers would do it at all chrome finally did slowly. I have cleaned the cache and that helped for a few days.

I thought about it but it is random and way too many sites. I can use my phone and iti s fine. google is never slow. but sometimes I can't search on any browser on my computer.

It could be a plug-in/add-on. Try starting Firefox (or another browser) in safe mode.

You can search for how to start the other browsers in safe mode.

You can also try starting the computer itself in safe mode as there may be kernel extensions, startup items that are causing the slowdown.

I will give that a shot. when it started in safari I started using firefox again. then it started happening there. and chrome.

well tried safe mode and putting firefox in safe mode after rebooting but nope still had loading issues. I only tried google but the browser jsut sits there not really loading. it may do it after several minutes or it may not.
