Safari won't load web pages on Mac
Safari not loading pages is a cache or extension issue. Clearing the cached data and disabling extensions fixes most cases quickly.
Safari stores website data, cookies, and address shortcuts to load pages faster. When this cache gets corrupted, pages fail to load even though your internet is working. Browser extensions can also block content silently. Clearing the cache and disabling extensions one at a time identifies and fixes the problem.
