Why are some websites not loading?

Are certain websites loading super slow or not at all? Here’s what you can try:

  • Restart your modem/router device – A quick reboot often fixes connection issues.
  • Enable IPv6 in your modem/router settings – Some websites prioritise IPv6. Here’s how to enable IPv6 on some of the most common modem/router brands.
  • Restart your devices / refresh network settings – Restart all your connected devices to refresh your connection. If you’re on Wi-Fi, forget the network on devices like smart TVs, phones, and laptops, then reconnect. If you’re using Ethernet, unplug the cable, wait a few seconds, and then plug it back in.
  • Try a different browser – Chrome, Safari, Edge, or Firefox may handle connections differently.
  • Test another device – If a website works on your phone but not your laptop, it may be a device issue.
  • Check if the website is actually down – Use DownDetector to see if the site is having issues.
