Safari running slow

[mickylove]

Please can anyone help me, I am not really that computer literate and my Safari seems to be running slowly.
Also the fan in my MacBook starts running even when I am not using the laptop fpor anything.
Have I got a problem?
Thanks in advance
Micky

Try this:

Empty Safari's cache (from the Safari menu), then close Safari.

Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete the following files:

form values
download.plist

Then go to Home/Library/Preferences and delete

com.apple.Safari.plist

Repair permissions.

Start up Safari again, and things should have improved.

If not, MacFixit have published a very detailed (very!) article on speeding up a slow Safari, here:
