iPad iPad Pro Safari Pages Won’t Load

[Steppen Wolf]

Hi All,
Ever since I upgraded my iPad Pro 9.7 to iPadOS, web pages are very slow to load or, won’t load at all. My usual fix is to close Safari, turn off WiFi in Settings, and restart Safari. This fix usually works, temporarily, but it certainly takes away from my enjoyment of the iPad. As an aside, my wife has the current base iPad, and is experiencing similar problems. I have searched for other fixes but, as yet, have found none that are permanent. Any help would be appreciated.

Tried:

Reset Network Settings
Reset All Settings
DFU restore without backup - If this doesn’t help then the update has wrecked your hardware.

Actually it’s possible none of the above fixes it and it may still not be a hardware issue. I’ve been having this issue intermittently on every iPad I’ve owned since iPad Air / Mini 2 since iOS 8/9 I believe. It’s intermittent. And this is the bug. And I’ve owned 9 iPads in the family since then, 8 personally.

Just shows you how poor Apple QC has been ever since Steve left.

Thanks for the suggestions. I hope it turns out to be a software bug rather than a hardware issue.

As a follow up, I suspected my issue was wi-Fi related, because turning wi-Fi off and on again, on our iPads, temporarily fixed the problem. I have now reset all local wi-Fi devices, airports, switches, etc. and performance seems much better. Pages are loading quickly. I hope this helps anyone having similar problems.

I’m having the same intermittent issue on my iPad Mini 5 ever since the 13.2.2 update, but mine occurs on both LTE and on Wi-Fi. it’s really aggravating. I’ve tried resetting all network settings and clearing safari‘s cookies and caches, but it’s still happening. Some pages will load quickly, others will hang with no rhyme or reason. Hitting the reload button sometimes works to load the pages quickly. Restarting Safari, or even restarting the iPad works temporarily but the issue comes up again pretty quickly.

I'm waiting to see if turning off the "switch to cellular on weak wifi" is causing trouble.

Sometimes turning on Airplane mode works, sometimes I need to turn wifi off for 20 seconds as if it's ISP and/or DNS issues. Annoying af.

Mine is set to off as well.

Toggling the “use cellular on weak wifi” doesn’t solve the issue for me, which appears to be prevalent on LTE anyway.

It’s still early, but 13.2.3 seems to have resolved my web page loading issues on my Mini 5.
