Likely fix
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.
Quick answer
Try private browsing, another browser, mobile data, and turning off VPN. If mobile data works, focus on your WiFi, DNS, router, or IP address.
Important warning
If the site works on mobile data but not your WiFi, your network IP, DNS, router, or firewall may be the problem.
Try this
- 1 Open the website in a private or incognito window.
- 2 Try another browser.
- 3 Try another device on the same WiFi.
- 4 Try mobile data or another network.
- 5 Turn off VPN, proxy, private DNS, or security apps temporarily.
- 6 Restart your router.
- 7 Clear site data for the affected website.
- 8 If you own the website, check firewall, CDN, or security plugin blocks.
Common causes
Browser cache or cookies are broken.
DNS cache is stale.
VPN or proxy is blocking.
Router or network issue.
Website firewall blocked your IP.
Security software is interfering.
What to check next
- Check whether private browsing works.
- Check whether mobile data works.
- Check whether another device on the same WiFi fails too.
- Check whether VPN is connected.
- Check whether the website owner has firewall or CDN blocks.
