Safari tab switching lag

[AppleFan.]

Hi, when I have multiple tabs open in Safari, sometimes, there is a noticeable lag or delay when switching tabs. This doesn't happen in other webbrowsers. Has anyone else been experiencing this?

Safari version? System config? Disable extensions. Still happening?

I am using Safari version 17.4.1 and running the latest macOS Sonoma. I use the MacBook Air M1 with 8GB of RAM and 256GB SSD. I don't have any extensions, and it is still happening.

Do you quit Safari or just close windows using the little red circle?

How many tabs are we talking about? As you have the lowest RAM configuration (8GB) this may be due to swap use, where the MacBook starts using the internal storage (SSD) as RAM which is quite slow.

Most of the times when I am done using my Mac, I fully quit Safari

It can happen with very few tabs open, like 5 or less. And I am not a very heavy user, so my memory pressure is in the green most of the time.
