Mac gone V SLOW on some websites

Just in case Wild is not available to you......
Ok, that is strange but rules out a wider network problem if Chrome hasn’t run slowly. Safari can be temperamental and you may not have cleared all the cache first time round. If you go to Safari Preferences then click on the Advanced tab. Tick the option to show Develop at the bottom of the menu. Close Preferences and you should see a new “Develop” option in the top bar. Click on this and the drop down menu and click on clear caches about half way down. You won’t see any message but close Safari and reopen and see how it runs. This will definitely clear out any stuck elements in cache.

Backing up is always a good idea!
It’s strange that a few others have just reported odd happenings both with this site and WC. My only other suggestion is to look at settings in Safari. If you click on Safari on the top bar menu and select “settings for this website” you will see another drop down with a number of options. Try doing this on a site that is working ok, and then see if the settings are any different WC etc. and adjust accordingly.

The only other option I can think of is to reset Safari back to factory default. Unfortunately there is no simple one click way of doing that. You would need to access all the Safari folders using Finder, drag and drop them into Trash, empty trash and then restart the laptop. If you use Safari auto fill for passwords etc you would lose those and bookmarks/favourites etc; so not something to do except as a last resort. Have you got access to another laptop to see if that shows the same symptoms, just to absolutely rule out a network issue. If you decide to go for the nuclear option, let me know and I’ll send you the Safari file list tha you need to trash.

Ok well it’s down to the Macbook then. It has to be something to do with the security or Javascript on WC that has got corrupted on your laptop, as the hard disk didn’t show any errors and most sites are working ok, that points to a corrupt file setting buried in Safari. I’m out of suggestions apart from the factory reset and I can’t guarantee that will be the cure, your right on the edge of my Mac experience.
