On this page I will try to collect all known solutions to the problem when pages are not fully loaded in the browser. Websites do not open completely. For example, some images or scripts on websites are not loaded. Pages are crooked in the browser, or only part of the site loads. And some sites don't open at all. Or they open, but not from the first time, but from the second, or third. We will consider solutions for Windows 10, 8, 7. Simply put, for computers. If you encounter such a problem on a mobile device, then most likely the reason is in the router (if you are connected through it). I will write about this in more detail in the article. This is how it all looks roughly.
I myself have encountered a problem several times when my browser did not open the sites completely. For example, pictures were not loaded on VK. This also happens on Odnoklassniki and other social networks. I don't remember exactly, but my solution was simple: clear the cache, restart the browser. There are also more serious reasons. For example, the MTU value is incorrect. This parameter can be changed in the router settings, or in Windows itself.
The most common reasons:
- Browser glitch. As a rule, restarting the browser, restarting the computer, clearing the browser cache helps.
- Problem with add-ons in browsers. Sometimes, some add-ons installed in the browser prevent the page from loading completely. The most common culprit for this are add-ons that block ads on sites.
- Incorrect MTU value. We will not understand what it is and how it affects the loading of sites, but very often because of it, sites either do not load at all, or do not load completely. As I wrote above, MTU can be changed in the router settings (if the Internet is connected directly, then in the Windows settings). Usually there is a value of 1500. After installing 1460, everything starts to open normally. But there is no guarantee that MTU is the problem in your case.
- Viruses and malware. I am sure that some viruses can prevent browsers from displaying pages normally.
I want to note that such problems with the "crooked" display of sites can be observed in all browsers: Firefox, Opera, Chrome, Yandex Browser, Microsoft Edge and even Internet Explorer. Which, and without any problems, can load sites incompletely, or crookedly 🙂
Websites do not open completely: the first solution and finding the reason
For starters, I advise close the browser and restart the computer, or laptop. Maybe everything will work fine. If you connect to the Internet via a router, or a modem, then you can also restart it. It certainly won't hurt.
Since nowadays a router is almost always installed, and all devices will connect to the Internet through it, check how sites open on other devices. You can even check on Android, or iOS smartphones and tablets. But it's better, it's over, on the computer. If possible, connect your computer to a different internet. For example, to another Wi-Fi network, which can be shared even from the phone.
Check how everything works through another browser. Even the standard one. Remember, maybe you installed some add-ons or programs before.
Disable your ad blockerif you have it installed. For example: Adblock, Adguard, AdMuncher.
So we can understand what is the cause of our problem, and where to go next. You can describe the result of these checks and reflections in the comments. I will try to help.
Clear browser cache
This is one of the first solutions to try when this kind of problem appears. I am planning a separate article on this topic, but here I will briefly show you how to clear the cache in the most popular browsers.
If you have some other browser, then I think that you can easily find the function of clearing the cache in the settings. Or ask in the comments.
Checking browser add-ons installed
If clearing the cache did not help, and the page in the browser still does not open completely, then I recommend checking the installed add-ons and temporarily disabling them (if any).
You can also do this in the browser settings, somewhere in the "Extensions", "Add-ons" section. For example, in the Opera browser:
Disable all installed extensions temporarily.
If you don't know where these settings are located in your browser, then check out this article. In it, I showed you how to manage extensions in popular browsers.
Also, see what programs you have installed and running on your computer. You may find something suspicious.
MTU and problems with incomplete loading of sites
I already talked about this parameter above in the article. As a rule, it is changed in the router settings. Very often, due to an incorrect MTU value, there are problems with displaying pages when connecting to the Internet via 3G / 4G modems. When the modem is connected to the router. But this also happens with a cable connection.
You can change MTU in the router settings, in the section with the Internet connection settings: "WAN", "Internet".
First you need to go to the router's control panel.
I will show you how to change MTU on some routers.
TP-Link
In the WAN section there is an item "MTU Size". By default, there is 1500. You can register 1460, or even 1400.
If you have PPPoE, then you need to click on the "Advanced" button and change the value there.
Save the settings and reboot the router.
ASUS
In the "Internet" section. MTU field.
Remember to save your settings.
I cannot show in detail how to do this on routers from different manufacturers. Therefore, if you do not find these settings, write in the comments.
Virus check and more ...
If all else fails, check your computer for viruses. You can run an antivirus scan (if installed), or check your system with one of the free antivirus utilities. For example, Dr.Web CureIt !.
If, when connecting to another Internet (Wi-Fi network), the sites are loaded the first time and completely, then it makes sense to call the provider's support and explain the problem. Maybe they have some kind of problem.
You can also try changing DNS to Google Public DNS.
He told everything I know on this topic at the moment. If there is new information, I will definitely add it. You can also share your observations and advice. Good luck!
