Mac disaster

hi everyone,

i'm not experienced mac laptops know when not right.

although internet service provider piece of rubbish speed test reckons i'm getting 200mb/s+

when try open web page on browser such firefox, google, chrome, or safari - facebook, gmail, shopping websites , forum takes ever load. doesn't load webpage , comes type of error.

literally happened other day me 1 day next slow internet browser. have updated high sierra , there still no difference. have gone library caches , deleted including going each browser , removing cookies website data etc.

appreciated.

 

you're gonna have lot more specific you're seeing "some type of error". initial suspicion have dns problem causing urls resolve or time out. connect internet through router has built-in dns server? if so, corrupted. or maybe router failing.

fastest dns servers, i'd suggest running namebench 1.3.1 (https://code.google.com/archive/p/namebench/downloads). it's old, still works. after runs, copy , paste top 3 dns server ip addresses system preferences -> network -> advanced. if else there, delete first. if doesn't fix problem, might have issue, isp throttling except speed tests.

aaron
