Hello and welcome.

The A1260 is a MacBook Pro (15-inch Early 2008).

Several things could cause the slowness you are experiencing:
-The general age of the MBP
-The older Intel Core 2 Duo processors and NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT can be slow with today's websites
-The maximum version of OS X is 10.11.6 El Capitan, which you are running
-The official max RAM is 4 GB
-Original drive is 250 GB - is it nearly full? How much free space is left?
-Older versions of Safari and other browsers have some compatibility issues with newer websites and Internet technologies
-Do you have any third-party utilities such as MacKeeper or antivirus running?
