How do I clear DNS cache in Windows 11 if websites are not loading correctly?

Question

I'm having a strange issue on my Windows 11 PC. A few websites don't load properly, while others work without any problem. My internet connection seems fine, and the same websites open on my phone using the same Wi-Fi.

I read that clearing the DNS cache might help, but I'm not sure if that's the right first step or if I should check something else before doing that.

Has anyone experienced a similar issue? What would you recommend trying first?

Thanks in advance.
