Safari running slow? This trick will improve your performance

Slow safari

Over time, the browser may Safari gets a little slower every day, something that in many cases is due to the cache of images and data that is stored in the memory of our iPhone or iPad. The cache memory is initially designed to accelerate the loading of websites that we visit frequently, but when that cache is too high, that is when performance begins to falter.

In this situation, the most effective remedy to improve the performance of Safari is to delete all browsing data that have been stored. To do this, we simply have to go to the Settings> Safari menu and once there, click on the option to Clear history and website data. The system will ask us to confirm the action so we have to press again for the changes to take effect.

This trick is applicable to any web browser, either from iOS or from our computer. If we want to accelerate performance even more, there are other tricks such as deactivating the loading of JavaScript code that exists on the web, an option that I do not recommend using since you will sacrifice elements that make use of plugins programmed using that language.

It is also necessary to indicate that if Safari in iOS 8 hangs or crashes unexpected, that's because Apple still has to polish a lot of its operating system. In iOS 8.1.1 it is already quite stable but still, it sometimes becomes unstable and ends up shutting down.

The truth is that as iOS applications grow larger by caching, their performance sometimes plummets. This is something that I have also been able to verify in other apps such as Spotify or even WhatsApp, although in general, it affects all of them.

    It is very true what you mention Nacho, now I am very disappointed with the slowness of safari and the whole environment with ios 8. Currently I have ios 8.1.1 on ipad mini and everything is very slow, comparing it with the same one of my wife with ios 7.1.2. 4, the same happens with the iPhone XNUMXS that I have, I am a fan of the apple, but it seems to me that devices with less features should be left in an ios that works with dignity, and not like what they have done in my opinion.
