Like Chrome, Safari also suspends tabs on startup. That is to say, tabs are only loaded when first used.

It depends on your workflow, but I don't use an extension for this. I occasionally just quit and restart it; takes less than five seconds.

That's not what the extension does, it 'expires' tabs you haven't looked at in a few minutes. Clearing up the memory.

Clicking on the tab will load them.
