[QUOTE="MacHeadCase, post: 283538"] It could also be because your cache folder is full to the gills. Just empty the cache by going to the menubar ---> Safari ---> Empty Cache when you start seeing the spinning coloured pizza icon too many times.. To speed Safari up, I have also set my [I]favicon[/I] folder as [I]Read Only[/I] so the folder doesn't contain bijillions of favicons before I remember to clean it up. Simple procedure: go to Macintosh HD ---> Users ---> [I]your account[/I] ---> Library ---> Safari Spot the [I]Icons[/I] folder, click on it once and do [I]Apple[/I] + [I]I[/I] (or [I]Command[/I] + [I]I[/I] or [I]Get Info[/I] in [I]Finder[/I]'s menubar and then [I]File[/I], [I]Get Info[/I] in the drop-down menu). In the Info window that appears, you will see the [I]Ownership & Permissions[/I] section. First item is: [I]You can[/I] with a drop-down menu. Select [I]Read only[/I] from it. This will prevent the folder from storing megabytes of favicons. You will need to manually empty the [I]Icons[/I] folder after this procedure but, good news, it will be the last time you ever need to do this! :girl: [/QUOTE]
