PC loading specific websites slow

Question

Hello,

recently my pc started loading specific websites very slowly or just being stuck in infinitely loading them. Some of those websites are Chatgpt.com, x.com (twitter) and a few other ones. And it is not a website issue since the slow loading issue is happening on other browsers too. Meanwhile opening the same websites on my phone or another computer will load them almost instantly. Any other website loads fine and very fast including games

Welcome Janis,

I understand how frustrating it can be when your Windows 11 PC is loading certain websites (such as chatgpt.com and x.com) very slowly or getting stuck, while those same websites load normally on other devices and other websites work fine on this PC. 

To help resolve this as quickly as possible, could you please confirm the following details:  

• Are you using a home network with a router, or are you connected through a VPN or proxy on this PC? 
• Does the issue still occur when you connect the PC to a different network, such as a mobile hotspot? 

In the meantime, you can try the workaround steps to troubleshoot the issue:  

Option 1: Restart the network stack. 

• Open Settings > Network and Internet > Advanced network settings 
• Select Network reset, then restart the PC 

Option 2: Disable IPv6 temporarily to test. 

• Go to Settings > Network and Internet > Advanced network settings 
• Select your active adapter > Edit > Uncheck Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) 
• Restart the PC and test the affected websites 

Option 3: Flush and renew DNS. 

• Open Command Prompt as administrator from the Start menu 
• Run the following commands one by one: 
  • ipconfig /flushdns 
  • ipconfig /release 
  • ipconfig /renew 

Option 4: Temporarily disable third‑party security or network filtering software, if installed, and test again. 

Option 5: Check system files. 

• Open Command Prompt as administrator from the Start menu
• Run: sfc /scannow 
• Restart after completion 

I hope this information helps resolve your issue. If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me again in this thread.
