Safari browser very slow loading page in Mac OS - El Capitan

Sometimes when loading a page using Safari in my Mac OS El Capitan, it won't load at all and even when using the Chrome browser. You can make it work again by doing any of the option I have listed below:

1st Option (Turn-off and On the current WiFi or Restart it): Right click on the Wifi icon at the top right of your screen and click Turn Off then Turn On. If you want to keep doing this approach, you can create an alias in your profile "~/.bash_profile" bash and restart it by opening a terminal and execute the command. Follow the step below on how to add an alias into your profile:

Open a terminal  +space and type the following command and restart your Terminal again

echo "alias restart_wifi='sudo ifconfig en0 down && sudo ifconfig en0 up'" >> ~/.bash_profile

After executing the command above, use the command "restart_wifi" from your Terminal to actually restart the WiFi from Terminal/Console


2nd Option (Flush the DNS): Open a terminal  +space and type the following command:

sudo dscacheutil -flushcache; sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder;
