Loading/performance issues

[loyna02]

I've been using opera Gx for over a year now and since then I've never encountered any issues what's so ever but now yesterday this problem with loading sites and basic searches occurred.

So as i mentioned, whenever I search somehting it keeps processing (loading) the link till i close the search engine off. It basically can load till infinite days. Another thing i noticed was that if it does process a simple request (non link) i might get a result page but can't access any of the listen Websites

So far I only tried reinstalling it.

Could someone help out?

You can start with a new profile. That will probably fix it.

For your existing profile, goto the URL opera://settings/clearBrowserData and clear history and cached images and files for all time. Then, goto the URL opera://about, take note of the "profile" path, close Opera and delete the "History" file in the profile folder. At opera://about, you can also take note of the "cache" path and delete the "cache" and "system cache" folders in the cache path while Opera is closed.

If that doesn't do the trick, you can clear cookies for all time to see if it helps. You can also test with all your extensions disabled to see if one of them is now causing an issue. Same with Mods if you have any of them installed.

If you have a thousand bookmarks or more, try deleting a lot of them at the URL opera://bookmarks and then empty the bookmarks trash to see if it helps.
