If Safari isn’t opening a webpage that you believe should be working, one of these solutions might help:

---

1. Reload the Page

To reload a page, choose View > Reload Page, or press Command-R. If you can’t reload, make sure that you’re connected to the internet.

If you still can’t reload:

1. 1. Press Command-Q to quit Safari. If Safari doesn’t quit, press Option-Command-Esc to force Safari to quit.
   2. Open Safari again and try to load the page. When Safari opens, if it automatically opens pages that you don’t want to open, quit Safari again, then press and hold the Shift key while opening Safari.

3. Test with a Private Window

A website can store cookies, caches, and other data on your Mac, and issues with that data can affect your use of the website. To prevent the website from using that data, view it in a private window.

From the menu bar in Safari, choose File > New Private Window, or press Shift-Command-N.
