The shortest correct answer is – No way!

These are band-aids that don’t actually stop the bleeding. Even if they work, it is only very temporary.

The fact that it only happens with some websites should tell you it is website specific and they are coded or built to take advantage of some aspect of Safari that allows a particular website to behave this way.

Unfortunately, all of the steps failed to eliminate the reloading of so far a couple of web pages. In summary, yesterday I installed Safari 15.0 yesterday onto my MacBook Pro (2019 16″ with 64 GB DDR4 and a 2 TB drive running Catalina 10.15.7. I’ve not upgrade to Big Sur due to Big Sur not running my statistical package (JMP 13.0 by SAS). An annual license version of JMP that runs on Big Sur is available for $1,500/yr, which I’m willing to forgo at that price. The first website that keeps reloading and reloading is “grizzly.com”. Prior to yesterday’s installation, I’ve been using Safari for a very long time without any significant problems until I installed version 15.0.

I’ve tried all of the steps that you very clearly outlined, except for one (see end of message) and although some of them seem to reduce the reload rate, they all ended up with the website showing the following message:

“A problem repeatedly occurred with https//www.example.com” followed by a “Reload Webpage” button, which results in the same error message.

Two of your recommendations unfortunately were not possible to implement.

1. Under “Content Blocker”, I was not able to “Turn off settings for this site” because I was never able to get the grizzly.com website to stay loaded.

2. Entering “defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeInternalDebugMenu 1” into Terminal
did not produce a “Debug” menu item on the Safari toolbar.

Lastly, I did not try AdBlocker, but I have used it in the distance past and will very likely try it again.

Thanks again for your help. Again, thank you for your great article! If I find a solution to my Safari problem, I will let you know.

Sincerely,

Ted
