During the past couple of weeks, or less, Safari is loading very slowly. I have cleared my history, checked by Apple storage on my device, dropped unneeded apps, etc. It is still so slow, particularly on UTUBE and several other site. It is not just one site that the slowness occurs. Any suggestions?
iPad Pro, iPadOS 16
Poor browser or internet performance can often be attributed to your DNS settings or DNS provider. Try changing the DNS settings on your WiFi Router and/or your iPad to use one of these Recursive DNS Services (IPv4 and IPv6 addresses included below):
Quad9
9.9.9.9
149.112.112.112
2620:fe::fe
2620:fe::9
OpenDNS
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
2620:0:ccc::2
2620:0:ccd::2
Cloudflare
1.1.1.1
1.0.0.1
2606:4700:4700::1111
2606:4700:4700::1001
If settings allow, enter all four addresses for the chosen DNS provider - exactly as shown above.
To change settings on your WiFi Router, you’ll need to refer to your router’s user manual. If the router was provided by your ISP (Internet Service Provider), you may need to refer to their online technical or support resources.
To change DNS settings on your iPad, DNS is configured for each WiFi network:
Settings > WiFI > [Your WiFi Network] - touch the “i” icon.
Why is Safari so slow? Why has this just started during the last couple of weeks?
