Unresponsive pages in Google Chrome

[jmt356]

Over about the past two weeks, I have been getting the following error message from Google with increasing frequency:
"The following pages have become unresponsive you can wait for them or kill them"

On some days, it is happening as often as three times.

What is causing this and how can I fix it?

A simple Google search on "The following pages have become unresponsive you can wait for them or kill them" will result in an amazing number of possible answers. Google really is your friend!

I already tried a Google search, including suggestions to update Google Chrome. Unfortunately, I find the advice on Google to be of very limited value; most of what I find is either inapplicable, outdated or just wrong. The answers I get on this forum, in contrast, give me the solutions I need about 75% of the time, which is much higher than I have found anywhere else.

The only last resort advice I found on Google that I am worth trying is to uninstall and reinstall Chrome, but I am hoping someone on this forum might know of a less drastic measure.

I'm baffled as to why you find the advice on Google searches to be "of very limited value". While there are certainly pages that provide little or limited value, I've been able to solve most problems that I've encountered by "Googling". In almost every case, someone has had the identical problem and someone has posted the solution to that problem. But perhaps your problems are a bit more unique than mine.

However, if you don't get any other suggestions in the Lounge that you consider satisfactory, reinstalling Chrome is not really a "drastic measure". Many times, a fresh install (of almost any program) may clear up "unsolvable" problems.

That being said, this page (which I found using a Google search) provides an excellent guide to the uninstall and a reinstall. Although not required, if you already have a Google account, you can sign into that account after you have reinstalled Chrome. This will enable you to sync your bookmarks, extensions, themes, saved passwords, and form data.

Hope this helps.

Two options you could try... (as a shot in the dark!)

1. Block third party cookies and see if that improves page load
Go to Chrome advanced settings, Privacy, Content Settings and tick the Block 3rd party cookies and site data

2. If you have CCleaner, open it and run a fill cleanup making sure it deletes Temp. Internet files and Cookies.
Then reopen and run Chrome again.

Any differences??

It may help if you were to post a few links to these non-responsive sites?

I have found that most that I have run into using any browser, are so full a linked ads with graphics that it takes forever to load.
I tend not to go back to these sites and it is their lose not mine.
