There are many proposals in terms of popular Internet browsers that we can use at this time. However, if there is one that stands out with much difference in terms of market penetration and use, that is Chrome from the giant Google.
It must also be admitted that many other users opt for other programs of this type such as Microsoft‘s Edge, Opera, or Mozilla’s Firefox . However, there are also other minority options that delight many due to their particular functions. But let’s go back to Chrome, which is the browser used by most but which, as expected, is not infallible.
These errors that we comment on are attributable both to the Google program itself, as well as to other third-party elements. That is why in these same lines we are going to focus on the annoying error that a web page stops responding . Thus, we are going to give you a series of indications that will help us to solve this problem that we mentioned. And you have to bear in mind that when browsing, few things are as annoying as the fact that a website suddenly stops responding. Furthermore, this is something that occurs for no apparent reason, something that we must solve.
What to do if a website stops responding in Chrome
This failure that we are commenting on results in the page being blocked as such, so that we will no longer be able to continue accessing its content. It is also true that generally these types of errors tend to be isolated cases and not too common, but no less annoying when they occur. Thus, below we are going to propose a series of possible solutions that fix this and allow us to continue browsing the Internet on a regular basis.
Restart the problematic Chrome tab
At the point that we have mentioned before, one of the most effective solutions that usually work, is also the simplest. Specifically, we refer to closing only the tab that houses the blocked website from the X-shaped button to reopen it later. As we say, this is something that usually solves the failure of web blocking.
However, it can also be the case that this problem becomes common and frequent. Therefore, if this happens, it is no longer a point error, but something is not working as it should in the browser itself. And it is very likely that we have ever come across a Chrome window that tells us that a page has stopped working. Then the software itself allows us to choose what we want to do with it, whether to force its closure or wait to see if it responds after a few seconds.
It should be mentioned that this is possibly because something is causing conflicts between the web as such, and the browser. In this way, what we must try is to locate the cause why this is failing to fix it as soon as possible.
Chrome cache issues
Well, if the tab reset that we discussed earlier does not work, say that there are other possible solutions. It should be noted that another of the most common causes for websites to fail is due to a problem with the Google browser cache. It is for all this that this is one of the solutions that we can use to solve the failure. With this, what we want to tell you is that we can try to erase the entire cache of the program.
Well, to achieve this, the first thing we have to do is write the chrome: // settings / clearBrowserData command in the address bar. Thus, this will give way to a new window related to cleaning various types of data stored by the program. In the case that concerns us here, we will only have to specify to the program that we want to delete the files and images stored in the browser cache . To do this, we mark the corresponding box that indicates it.
Problems with extensions
In the event that this step that we have just described does not solve the blocking of the web, let’s move on to another element. This, despite its enormous usefulness in most cases, sometimes gives us the odd headache. Specifically, we refer to the extensions that we install in browsers, in this case in Chrome. Therefore, in the case that concerns us now, it may happen that the reason why some pages fail to load is due to incompatibility with the extensions that we have installed.
It is worth mentioning that this is something that is especially possible if we have added extensions related to security and privacy . Therefore, to rule out this failure related to compatibility, the first thing we will do is type the following in the address bar: chrome: // extensions /. Say that in the window that now appears, we will have the possibility to disable all the extensions that we have activated. We do this with the selector that is located next to each of them.
Then we will only have to restart the browser to see if the failure has been solved and we can now access the blocked website.
Delete Chrome cookies
Apart from what has been discussed so far, another reason why certain websites may fail when browsing is due to saved third-party cookies. Therefore, in order to manage them properly, the first thing to do is to write chrome: // settings / content. Next we go to the Cookies and third party data section , where we will already have the possibility to block them if we wish.
Update the Google program
As is usual in most of the programs we use daily, including Windows 10 itself , it is best to have the most recent version released. How could it be otherwise, this is something that is extended to Chrome, which also receives a new version every so often. Therefore, in order to get the most recent version automatically, we open the main menu of the program.
Then we just have to go to the Help / Information option of Google Chrome so that it updates itself.
