- Turn off your router.
- Unplug the power adapter of the router from the wall socket.
- Wait for a few minutes.
- Plug the power adapter back into the router and turn on your router.

2] Clear the cache and cookies
We suggest you force reload the web page in Google Chrome. The shortcut key used to perform this action is Ctrl + F5. This action will reload the web page by bypassing the cookies. Therefore, this will let you know whether the issue is with cookies or not.
If this fixes the issue, you need to clear the cache and cookies. You can also use the shortcut keys (Ctrl + Shift + Delete) to bring the Clear Browsing Data window directly In Chrome.
3] Update Google Chrome

- Select Settings > About Chrome to check for updates.
- If updates are available, Chrome will install the updates automatically. After installation of the updates, relaunch Chrome.
4] Try to load the web page in a Private window
There is a possibility that extensions are causing this issue. Loading the web page in Private or Incognito mode can help you know this. If you’re able to load the web page in Private or Incognito mode, then disable your extensions and check if it brings any changes. To do so, use the following steps:
- Click on the three-dot menu in the top right corner of the browser window.
- Select Extensions > Manage extensions.
- Toggle the switch next to each extension to disable it.
Disable all extensions one by one and reload the web pages every time after disabling each extension. When the issue gets fixed, the extension that you have just disabled is the culprit. Uninstall that extension and look for its alternative.
5] Have you blocked the third-party cookies?
Have you blocked the third-party cookies in Chrome? Check this in Google Chrome settings. Google Chrome allows users to tighten their privacy settings by blocking the third-cookies. But this action can cause some websites to break. Also, the web pages of some websites will load properly.
Follow the steps provided below:

Check if this fixes the problem.
