safari loading slow, getting spinning wheel

Hi all,

After the most recent release I am getting the spinning wheel when trying to load a new web page in safari. I have cleaned out my history, shut off extensions, still no change. Any ideas on what the issue is?

Safari constantly reloading webpages Hello and hopefully someone can offer advice to resolve a newly discovered issue I'm experiencing with Safari. Since updating to Safari 13.1, most webpages continue to reload every few seconds which renders the website completely useless. I've searched the web for answers and it seems to be a widespread problem. I've followed instructions to delete browsing history, delete cache, I've uninstalled and then updated Java and the same with Adobe Flash. However I'm still getting the message - This webpage was reloaded because a problem occurred. I'm going a bit crazy not being able to rectify this very annoying problem and would be most grateful for assistance. Thank you.

Safari acting up After the latest update (15.3), Safari has trouble accessing some sites, either it hangs or it's very slow. I've trashed the Preferences, and cleared cookies and caches, but the problem remains. My other browsers work fine. The only thing I can think of is that the update introduced a bug.

Have you tried opening Safari with the Shift key held down to see if that makes a difference?
