I'm on 10.10.4 on a 2015 MBPr 15" and my Safari is constantly having issues loading pages to the point where I have to turn of WiFi and turn it back on. Is anyone else having this issue?

I've been dealing with the same, only instead of shutting down wifi, I have to completely quit/relaunch Safari. Works for awhile, then :::thunk::: it stops loading pages again.

Just found this possible fix, that appears to be working for several people (post #14):

Am hoping it's the solution. If not, I'll try some of the other ideas in the same thread.

I'm on 10.10.4, and I only have a problem with one particular website: Facebook.

Sometimes it will just load the HTML. It happened with the 3 big browsers.

Also, take in consideration that some extensions, like adblock plus, actually make Safari slower more aggressively then they slow down Firefox or Chrome.

For me, it wasn't a case of pages loading slowly; the problem was that loading would completely stop 10-15% of the way in. The only solution was to quit and relaunch Safari, and even then, the "fix" would only stick for 15-20 minutes. Every site was impacted.

Since following the solution in post #14 of the thread referenced in my earlier post, Safari's been humming along without problems. Not sure why it suddenly slid off the rails a few days ago, but hey---I"m just happy to have it functional again.

I just changed the settings with your linked help. Here's hoping and thanks!
