Persistent "Page could not be loaded" error

[AuSammy]

Seems nothing's improved in more than three weeks

 

[Cruiser Elite]

Definitely getting worse with iOS

 

[AuSammy]

Maybe the latest update to iOS or maybe AFF has fixed something, but the need to refresh has reduced massively in the last 24hrs or so.

Not totally gone but a huge improvement to previous experience for the last few weeks.

The iPad and phone are just as bad for me. Maybe worse.

Yep. Worse for me too. I thought they'd given up in fact. Also I see there is a change when trying to see what a quoted post was. Instead of going to a URL not found, it goes to a search function page. Like, as if I can remember whose quoted post it was anyway. Not a solution.

I really do think the issue is apple and/or vpn and/or ad blocker related (possibly a combo). Ive still never seen any of these issues on windows or android.

Could be iOS / Safari. Not the other two - I’m still seeing it with no VPN / ad blocker.

I haven’t tried another browser yet.

A month on and it seems to be getting worse.

Certainly not better.

Alla same here, no change at all .
IOS mostly loads on a second click , sometimes need to go somewhere else and come back… boring….

Got a similar issue also accessing Whirlpool so it’s not unique to AFF (also iPad/Safari).

Had it twice on loading this page; ironically. But never had it anywhere else, WP for me is fine and has been forever. Odd!

Very odd - I thought it was an IPV6 thing but not sure.

Very odd - I thought it was an IPV6 thing but not sure.

The indications I have seen is that it is an issue between the ios/safari and cloudfronts http/3 implementations.

It may be helpful for @admin if those of us having issues indicate device, OS version, browser, and whether or not VPN or Ad Blockers are in use.

In my case…

Device: iPhone 16
OS: iOS 26.6 (Beta)
Browser: Safari
VPN: No
Ad Blocker: No

No errors observed whilst navigating AFF today.

I think it’s a Safari thing.

Seems to working fine with Chrome and Firefox but flaky with safari.

I have a “Favourites” bookmark for AFF in Safari. When I click on that 50% of the time I get the can’t load page error…

I suspect similar as well, but as someone who has experienced the issue (albeit rarely) on a Windows 11 machine with Chrome, I think the root cause may be slightly more nuanced. Also, different devices and OS versions would point to different Safari versions which may or may not make a difference. Likely useful to understand as well if anything else (e.g. VPN or ad blockers) could be muddying the waters.

Yep. As I mentioned earlier I’m not using ad blockers and I’m seeing with VPN off on both my iPhone iOS 26.5 but my iPad is quite old and locked to an old iOS - but still seeing it with Safari.

I don’t recall seeing on my Windows PC.

I use Firefox and i-phone and get it every Second login or worse. No VPN

Have now noted a couple of page load errors since posting this, but FWIW, it is notably reduced and resolves after one refresh.

Thanks all for reporting - will pass on to our team and update

Yes the function to see what a quoted post is, hasn't been fixed either.

Yep, this has been passed on a few weeks ago, although a fix is seemingly more difficult than expected.

Please report any further issues in this thread, as it helps us reproduce and fix as best we can!
