Safari 14.0 is getting real slow on FaceBook, what is wrong?

In Safari 14.0, Facebook really slows down. Clicking on a photo others posted takes a long time to come up, and when I click out of it, it takes a long time to go back to my wall. Scrolling is delayed and sometimes jittery. I have no extensions in the Safari browser, do I need some? I'm using a 16" MacBook Pro 2019. No problems with Facebook when using Google Chrome.

Clear your Temporary Internet Files (in Safe Mode):

Boot into Safe Mode and then Clear your Temporary Internet Files of Safari:


  • Booting into Safe Mode:

[hold down shift upon boot until the login screen appears]. See if this is still an issue. Safe Mode lets items run as default, without changes whatsoever. That is possible because caches of your macOS are temporarily disabled while in Safe Mode. If other apps have settings, then Safe Mode would place those app' preferences aside, while the blow is cleared.
