For some reason, since I updated my brand new 13 inch MBP to Lion, Safari runs slow as a dog. All my other internet based applications including Chrome run at normal speed. I also verifed this by pinging Google.com on this Mac and on a different one.
I tried clearing the cache and resetting Safari. I also do not have any 3rd party antivirus/firewalls installed. Is anyone else experiencing this?
Thanks.
SOLUTION: Hopefully this helps someone else out.
Close Safari,
then open Terminal. Type:
chflags nohidden ~/Library/
You will then be able to see ~/Library in the Finder. Goto ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.safari/. Delete the Cache.db file. Restart Safari and you should be all set.
For some reason the "Reset Safari" and "Empty Cache..." don't seem to be working...
who doesn't wanna do the red, can do this...
You don't actually need to use Terminal - you can access ~/Library by clicking on '
Go' at the top of the screen in
Finder and then holding down the
Option key, which should make
Library visible in the list as long as you hold the key down.
