My iPad 3 does this also. I always use mine in landscape mode and after opening a tab and closing it the original tab will be blank. Originally I was reloading the page but then I found that if I turned my iPad 90 degrees and back it reloaded on its own. Its definitely a glitch and one that never occurred on ios7. If the next ios update dosen't fix it I'm switching browsers.
Got a tip for us?

Safari has gotten really awful in iOS8. First all the reloading, 2nd the removal of airplay icon and ads on webpages really hurt the web browsing.
Tried Opera Coast, but it takes about 5x the amount of time to load a page.
Might try chrome again.

I have the same problem both reload of site and freezing safari.
Have to Constant copy of ex. Writing in here because if you open a new tab to search forget about the post you are writing in other tab.. Good chance its gone.
The copy paste etc. Menu that pops up also often quickly disappears so no chance of pressing anything
Recently i take pictures with my phone if posts are longer because chances are my ipad also will freeze to point of me having to hardreset.
99% of my ipad use is safari and so many things right now is ruining my ipad experiance!
I often cant press any links and have to scroll up and down on page before pressing links is possible.

Suffered after upgrading from 7.1.2 which was fine to iOS 8.02/8.1 with Safari looping "a problem occurred with this webpage so it was reloaded" error message then finally giving up with "a problem repeatedly occurred" on some sites like The Verge. But I just updated to 8.1.1 beta and it seems to be ok so far.
This kind of stuff seems to happen with every major release that I'm starting to think it's an intentional scheme to cause the impatient to upgrade to the latest and greatest model then they eventually fix it to avoid losing customers and lawsuits.

It's not just Safari. Apps (including stock apps) and other browsers reload too. This is a system-wide memory leak, or a lack of RAM.
Its been determined that TheVerge just has bad programming, it seems some Galaxy Note users have issues with the site even having 3 GB of RAM and a Snapdragon 800+. TheVerge isn't the best site to test for mobile users but I've noticed less "a problem occurred with this webpage so it was reloaded" after iOS 8.1.1 but there are still issues with safari crashing when locking the screen. Never seen this problem before but can get quite annoying when accidentally locking the screen only to find safari crashed.
How can you never see it? I don't know anyone with an iPhone that doesn't experience it.
THIS^^^
I am sure that pre iOS8, when you opened up a new tab, did what you needed to do and then went back to an existing tab, the webpage was still loaded on that tab?
As you rightly say, now, when you open a new tab and then go back to an existing tab, Safari ALWAYS shows a blank page and then re-loads the existing tab.
I don't have the issue. If I did I'd say "me too". Again, I only use 1 tab in safari. I never keep tabs open.
What iPhone do you have? What iOS version are you running? How often do you see it and when?
Hmmmm. Not sure what to say then. I knew it was an issue with iOS 8 but I don't know about anything else. Maybe make an appointment with the Genius Bar at you're closest Apple Store and see what they say.
Yeah I did last week. They did the wireless diagnosis and found no problem. It's strange.
[doublepost=1522394343][/doublepost]i have been getting this message on my MAC for some weeks now and it is driving me crazy. not sure how to get rid of it. emptying the caches made no difference at all.
