Speed up Safari page load times by disabling JavaScript
Authored by: jhonny on Mar 30, '04 12:11:28PM
Great tip! I noticed HUGE speed improvements on many sites after disabling JavaScript. One really good example site is IGN. Try opening a few of their sections to tabs at the same time (mac, ps2, xbox, cube, pc). With JavaScript enabled opening those five tabs takes me about 40 seconds and Safari freezes during the load (you cannot switch between tabs etc). With JavaScript disabled those tabs load in about 10 seconds and you can switch between them while loading... I wonder if this is a JavaScript bug on Safari or terrible code from IGN.
