There is one website my new M1 Macbook Air cannot access

I would think if she (her iP) had gotten banned for some reason, the site wouldn’t attempt to load at all, or am I completely wrong?
You said Google loads the site but does so very slowly, correct? Have you tried FireFox?Private window did not help.
Yeah other devices would not work either, as long as they're behind the same router. It looks like the site just hangs loading and never loads. I am able to access that site no problem with my M1 MBA, so it's definitely not a M1 problem. Might ought to move this thread to another forum. But I still would like to figure out what's the problem
It would have a different local IP address, but to the website, all devices on her home network look the same, IP wise.
Yea, I was thinking of local IP address when I made the comment. Thanks for clarifying.
The answer is clear - one of the sites is clearly superior.

Are you able to ping the site?
That is opening up terminal, and typing ping www.mac-forums.com
If that doesn't resolve then try ping 192.124.249.5 as that is the IP address the site reports.
If you have not used ping before you may have to use ctrl-c to stop it.

Firefox is perhaps a tad slower than Chrome, but opens. I guess I can manage but not understand the safari issue.
Might also be useful to try dig, nslookup, and traceroute
Or from terminal.
Code:
curl [website address]Should load all the text and code from website, if it does problem is with Safari, if not something on computer or router is blocking site.
Well I just happened to try and go to that site on my iPad and it doesn’t load! Interesting. Not M1 specific. I will be digging in to this one as it’s very bizarre! Time to get all my network tools out!
Edit: it did eventually load. Took a very long time. Could be something with the site itself.

yeah... I think that particular site is having problems with connectivity. Hitting it a few times, I definitely had slow page loads.
https://webpagetest.org from Dulles, VA on a 5Mb/s connection on Chrome took 10 seconds for it to start loading. In comparison, these forums took 2 seconds to start loading.

It's definitely their site.

Okay, thongs got quiet at my house and I looked at this and I am not going to do it. Years ago I used terminal. I suppose I was younger and braver. I am just not willing to do it now. Thanks all the same.
