If Safari is not loading pages, the browser may display a blank screen or connection errors. The main reasons are network issues, cache, extensions, or DNS settings.
Below are quick solutions.
Method 1: Check Internet Connection
- Make sure other browsers are working
- If there is no internet — fix the connection or restart the router
Method 2: Clear Cache and History
- Safari → Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data → Remove All
- This eliminates issues caused by outdated data
Method 3: Disable Extensions
- Safari → Preferences → Extensions
- Disable all extensions and check if the pages work
- Enable them one by one to find the problematic one
Method 4: Reset DNS and Update Network Settings
- Restart your Mac
- You can reset DNS in the terminal:
sudo dscacheutil -flushcache
sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder
Additional Reasons
- Issues with the hosts file
- Incorrect proxy settings
- Bugs in macOS or Safari after an update
Conclusion
Most often, checking the connection, clearing the cache, and disabling extensions helps. If pages do not load — check DNS and network settings.
