- 2007 Mac Book Pro 2.2 Ghz 4 GB RAM SSD OSX 10.11 & 2006 MBP Stuck At 10.6.8
Hi All!
For the last many days, when I type in a URL, there is a very long delay until the browser switches to the web page. If I click the "X" and then the Reload arrow, it usually quickly goes to the page. Sometimes I have to do this X-Then-Reload cycle more than once.
For Example: I typed mac-forums.com and waited about 4 minutes until the page began loading. Once it began, it was loaded in less than one second.
As soon as the browser switches to the web page, it loads very, very quickly- every time. The delay is the browser switching to the page. (Perhaps finding the page?)
Speed test sites show our speed upload & download are within specifications (100 Mbps Upload & 10 Mbps download)
Ping tests with Terminal.app show pinging to a site in the US (where we live) is usually between 7 & 28 ms. Ping to a distant web site will give 200-300 ms latency. (Examples: mac-forums.com = 8 ms Baidu.com in China = 228 ms)
I have tired rebooting the cable modem manually. The router re-boots every day on schedule, plus manually on demand.
Many reboots of the computers didn't solve it either.
I've also tried turing off WiFi and using an ethernet cable direct to the router. The problem remains.
We always clear our cache and cookies, so clutter probably isn't the cause.
For Additional Tests- Our streaming TV set loads as fast as usual & keeps up fine. Testing with the phone on WiFi isn't a a valid test because it has always been super
slow no matter whose network I am on- our home network or a public WiFi. (It's a very low end $25.00 Android phone.)
I've tried my MacBook Pro (2007 using 10.11.6), my wife's MacBook Pro (2006) using 10.6.8 & her iPad (2018) using iOS 13.
I've tried Safari, Firefox & Opera on the MacBook Pros and Safari only on the iPad. Same problem.
Since the pages load very quickly, but it takes a long time for the browser to get to the page (or perhaps find the page), I sure an lost for a cause.
Do you all know what the cause, and hopefully repair, is for this?
Thank You for helping! I appreciate the education.
Enjoy This Day!
