Hi Matt, A very quick reply as I’m rushing out to a job. I would suggest you try Clearing Safari’s Cache
Follow these steps to clear Safari cache manually: Have Safari OPEN Open "Finder" In the menu at the top of your screen select "Go" While the "Go" menu is dropped down press and hold the "option" key on your keyboard. This will reveal "Library" Select "Library" Navigate into the folder "Caches" Next navigate into the folder "com.apple.Safari" In this folder you will see a file named "Cache.db" Right click (control-click) the "Cache.db" file and select "Move to Trash" Now restart Safari by right clicking the Safari icon in the Dock and select "Quit" You have now successfully cleared your browser cache. Open Safari and see if the problem still exists Cheers, Ronni 13-inch MacBook Air (April 2014) 1.7GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost to 3.3GHz 8GB 1600MHz LPDDR3 SDRAM 512GB PCIe-based Flash Storage > On 21 Nov 2014, at 1:11 pm, Matt Falvey <mmfal...@bigpond.net.au> wrote: > > Hi, yesterday visited a website worldrugbyshop.com > <http://worldrugbyshop.com/> and while looking at the site it became locked > and the pages stuck and not loading.
