is there a pattern ? Example these 3 Madison Wisconsin sites

www.channel3000.com
https://wkow.com/

do not load. (edit: baffled has to why reboot was necessary)

Nbc15 loads without issue: https://www.nbc15.com/


Opinions? i have about a dozen sites in my favorites that don’t load at all.

iphone 7. ios 15.6.1
multiple browsers, same result.

DU loads, but twitter links are slow to load within posts

1. Do a restore point to a time when they loaded.

Pretty self explanatory in settings.

2. What operating system and which browser?

We might be able to help with that info.

Genetically, try clearing the cache on your browser (control key plus shift key plus delete key at same time). If that doesn’t work, make sure your browser is updated.

4. iphone 7, ios 15.6.1

ios was updated last week. sites were loading properly afterwards.

cleared cache, no effect

5. That's helpful

I’ve had intermittent issues like that, too. Sometimes I have to turn off my VPN ad blocker, and sometimes the problem fixes itself automagically.

Try installing a different browser on the phone to see if it repeats. You can try Firefox, chrome, edge, or many others. It could be just an incompatibility with an update on the website and where safari doesn’t like it but another browser works.

3. it's an issue that i believe is related to internet infrastructure

i am on iphone 7, ios 15.6.1. i believe the issue is not related to my ios.

7. behold, it worked. wtf, i thought it was odd because i

had rebooted recently

8. Rebooting is often the solution to such problems.

I actually learned that more than fifty years ago at a job that had computers, and it's a lesson I forget over and over.

When in doubt, reboot.
