Safari won't access website the first time typing it into the address bar

I've been using Chrome for years now and decided I should give Safari a try again. I don't have any extensions.


The issue I'm having right now is typing websites into the address bar. It never loads the website the first time. The website I would type in will disappear instantly after I hit "enter", and then the address bar will be empty or it will stay on the website I'm already on.


It will only load the website the second time that I type.


I've tried unchecking "include search engine suggestions". I've cleared the cookies.

I seemed to have solved the problem by creating and logging into a new user profile, and then going back to my old one. I don't know why that changed things, but hopefully this will help others.
