The error this webpage is not available prevents you from visiting the required site. It is common among Chrome users and means that the browser does not find or load the web page.
The reasons are most often the following:
- problems with internet access;
- incorrectly entered website address;
- DNS server failures;
- unwanted tails in the Chrome cache.
Methods for solving the error this webpage is not available
First of all, make sure that the Internet is working – connect to your network from another device and load an arbitrary page. If everything works, then proceed to the following methods.
# 1: checking the correctness of the address
Have you seen below the main error messages “ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED” or “ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED”? There is a high probability that the website address was entered incorrectly. For example, yondex.ru instead of yandex.ru.
# 2: delete cookies and cache
If the page is opened in incognito mode, then you should clear the cookies and cache. With Chrome open, hold down three keys: Ctrl, Shift and Del… A window will open in which you will select the checkboxes in the fields “clear cache” and “clear cookies”, make sure that the option “for all time” is indicated, and not “for the last week” and confirm the clearing.
# 3: change proxy settings
Hold the buttons Win and R – in the new window enter inetcpl.cpl and press Enter. The block “Internet Properties” => “Connections” => “Network Settings” will appear. Make sure that the boxes “Automatically detect settings” and “Use a proxy server …” are unchecked. Do not do this on a work computer – they are often configured to restrict users’ access to entertainment resources.
# 4: playing with antivirus
It happens that an antivirus application blocks access to websites. Disable the program completely and refresh the page. If the error does not appear, then the problem is in the antivirus – configure it correctly or switch to another product.
# 5: update DNS
In the search bar, enter cmd – the command line will start. Enter each of the following commands in turn, remembering to press Enter: ipconfig / flushdns, ipconfig / renew, ipconfig / registerdns, netsh winsock reset… They will change the DNS settings to default, which will help get rid of the this webpage is not available error.
