What to Do If a Page Won't Load

Q: Will clearing cookies log me out of websites?

Yes. Clearing cookies removes stored login sessions and site preferences, so you will likely need to sign in again.

Q: Can I follow the same steps in other browsers like Firefox or Edge?

Yes. The concepts are similar, but the menu names differ. Most browsers let you clear cache/cookies from Settings and access site data in developer tools.

Fix pages that get stuck on a loading spinner or refuse to load by clearing site data and cookies, using a hard refresh, resetting Chrome flags, and clearing Safari cache.

Overview

If a page won’t load or stays stuck on a loading icon, the most common fix is to clear your browser’s site data, cache, and cookies, then perform a hard refresh. This guide walks you through the recommended steps in Google Chrome, plus additional instructions for Safari.

These steps are especially helpful when BizStackPro pages appear blank, hang on “loading,” or don’t respond as expected.

Before you start: Try opening the same page in an incognito/private window. If it loads there, the issue is usually cached data, cookies, or an extension.

Step 1: Clear site data in Chrome

Clear stored site data for the specific page that isn’t loading. This removes cached files, local storage, and other saved data for that site.

On the page that won't load, right-click anywhere on the screen.
Select Inspect.
In DevTools, click Application (use the >> icon if needed).
From the left menu, choose Storage.
Click Clear site data.

Step 2: Clear cookies for the site

Next, clear cookies specifically for the website that’s failing to load.

At the top of Chrome, click the lock icon next to the URL.
Select Cookies.
Select the site entries and click Remove.

Note: Removing cookies will likely log you out of the site, since it clears stored sessions and preferences.

Step 3: Perform a hard refresh

After clearing site data and cookies, do a hard refresh to force the browser to load the newest version of the page.

Windows: Ctrl + F5
Mac: Command + R

Why it helps: A hard refresh bypasses cached files and pulls a fresh copy from the server.

Step 4: Reset Chrome flags (if needed)

If the page still doesn’t load, experimental Chrome settings (flags) may be involved. Resetting them can help.

In Chrome, type chrome://flags/ in the address bar and press Enter.
Click Reset all to default.
Restart Chrome if prompted.
Perform another hard refresh on the page.

Steps to clear cache in Safari

If you’re using Safari and experiencing page loading issues, follow these steps to clear your cache:

Click the Safari menu in the top-left corner.
Select Preferences.
Click the Advanced tab.
Enable Show Develop menu in menu bar, then close Preferences.
Click Develop in the menu bar.
Select Empty Caches.
Refresh your browser.

Additional tips

Try the page in another browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari).
If multiple sites are slow, restart your router or check your internet connection.
Temporarily disable browser extensions and test again.

Keep BizStackPro running smoothly

Clearing site data and cookies, using a hard refresh, and resetting browser settings can quickly resolve most “stuck loading” issues.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if a browser extension is causing the issue?

Disable all extensions and reload the page. If it loads, re-enable extensions one at a time until you find the one causing the problem.

What is a hard refresh, and how is it different from a regular refresh?

A hard refresh bypasses cached files and forces the browser to load the latest version from the server. A regular refresh may still use cached data.

Can I follow the same steps in other browsers like Firefox or Edge?

Yes. The concepts are similar, but menus differ. In most browsers you can clear cache and cookies in Settings and use developer tools to clear site data.

Will clearing cookies log me out of websites?

Yes. Clearing cookies removes stored login sessions and preferences, so you’ll likely need to sign in again on affected sites.
