Likely fix

Fix: Only one website is not loading

If only one website fails, the issue may be the website itself, your browser cache, DNS cache, VPN, firewall, or the site blocking your network.

Quick answer

Try the site in a private window, another browser, another device, and mobile data. If it fails everywhere, the website is probably down or broken.

Important warning

If a website works on mobile data but not WiFi, your network, DNS, router, VPN, or IP address may be the issue.

Try this

  1. 1 Refresh the page.
  2. 2 Check that the web address is typed correctly.
  3. 3 Open the website in a private or incognito window.
  4. 4 Try another browser.
  5. 5 Try another device.
  6. 6 Try mobile data or another network.
  7. 7 Turn off VPN temporarily.
  8. 8 Clear browser cache for that website if it works elsewhere.

Common causes

Website is down.

Browser cache is broken.

DNS cache points to an old address.

VPN or firewall is blocking the site.

Website blocks your IP address or region.

The URL is mistyped or old.

What to check next

  • Check whether the website loads on mobile data.
  • Check whether it loads in another browser.
  • Check whether it loads on another device.
  • Check whether the URL is correct.
  • Check whether VPN is on.

FAQ

Why does only one website not load?

The website may be down, your browser may have bad cached data, DNS may be stale, VPN may block it, or the site may block your network.

Why does a website work on mobile data but not WiFi?

That usually points to your WiFi network, DNS, router, VPN, firewall, or IP address rather than the website itself.

Should I clear cache for one website?

Yes, if the website works in another browser or private window. Clear site data for that website rather than clearing everything first.

Fix: No websites load

If no websites load, the problem is probably your internet connection, WiFi, router, DNS, VPN, or device network settings rather than one specific website.

Fix: Website works for others but not me

If a website works for others but not you, the cause is usually your browser cache, DNS cache, VPN, firewall, network, device settings, or IP being blocked.

Fix: DNS error when website will not load

A DNS error means your device cannot translate the website name into the server address it needs to connect to.

Fix: Website loads on mobile data but not WiFi

If a website loads on mobile data but not WiFi, the problem is likely your WiFi network, DNS, router, firewall, VPN, or the website blocking your home or office IP address.

Fix: Website loads in one browser but not another

If a website works in one browser but not another, the issue is usually browser cache, cookies, extensions, site permissions, or browser-specific settings.

Fix: Website shows security or SSL warning

A browser security warning usually means the SSL certificate is expired, invalid, not trusted, mismatched, or your device clock is wrong.
