How to fix Twitter and other websites that won’t load in Safari

By Killian Bell • 9:00 am, June 16, 2020

• Top stories

Do you ever find that websites sometimes refuse to load in Safari on your Mac, no matter how long you wait? The problem has been plaguing Twitter users in recent months, and can occur with other sites, too.

Fortunately, there’s an easy fix.

You may have already resorted to using another browser. When this problem surfaces, switching to Chrome or Edge (or anything other than Safari) can be an easy fix. But who wants to swap browsers because one website won’t load?

Another extreme solution is to clear all your Safari data . That’s quick and effective, but it means losing all your open tabs, having to log in to all your favorites sites again, and other little annoyances.

Instead, you can efficiently target only the site that isn’t loading. Here’s how to clear Safari data for just one website when it isn’t loading.

Fix websites that won’t load in Safari

Before following these steps, ensure that the problem really is just with Safari. Obviously, you should make sure your Mac is connected to the internet. Then try loading the problematic site in another browser — maybe on your iPhone or iPad — or checking its status on Downdetector .

If your connection is fine and dandy, and the site loads on another device, follow the steps below to clear its Safari data:

• Open Safari .
• Click Safari in the menu bar, then click Preferences…

• Use the search bar in the top-right corner to find saved data for the website that won’t load.

• Click Done .

Once that’s finished, you can visit the site again, and it should load without any issues … at least for now. Some users find that the problem reoccurs every few weeks with certain sites, such as Twitter. So you might need to repeat these steps later, unfortunately.

If this fix doesn’t work for you, there could be other things that are preventing the site from loading. If you use a content blocker , ensure that the site you want to visit hasn’t become inadvertently blacklisted, and try restarting Safari.

10 Fixes for Twitter (X) Not Loading in Safari on iPhone, iPad, and Mac

Even with a change of ownership and identity (now called X), Twitter remains one of the most powerful and popular social media platforms out there. The company offers feature-rich mobile apps and a web version to browse the feed and the latest trends in your region. While it’s optimized for most browsers, many have complained about Twitter acting up on Safari. If you have faced the same, here are the best ways to fix Twitter not loading in Safari on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

Note: Twitter recently went through a rebranding. The platform is now called ‘X’. However, we will refer to it as ‘Twitter’ as most people are familiar with the original name only.

Table of Contents

1. Reload the Webpage

Twitter not loading in Safari can be due to a sketchy internet connection. Once you connect to a robust Wi-Fi network, try reloading the Twitter home in Safari. Click the refresh icon in the Safari address bar at the top and try again.

2. Try Private Window

You can temporarily switch to a private window in Safari and try browsing your Twitter feed again. When you switch to a private window, you need to sign in with your account details again.

1. Launch Safari and click File at the top.

2. Select New Private Window .

1. Launch Safari on iPhone or iPad.

2. Open recent tabs from the bottom and select tabs.

3. Select Private , visit Twitter, and sign in with your account.

3. Clear Browsing Data

A corrupt Safari cache can cause issues with Twitter. It’s time to clear Twitter data on Safari and try again. Here’s what you need to do.

1. Open Safari and click the same in the menu bar. Select Settings .

2. Move to the Privacy tab and select Manage Website Data .

3. Search for Twitter at the top and click Remove All .

On Safari for iPhone or iPad, there is no way to selectively delete Twitter data. You need to clear the entire browsing data.

1. Open Settings on iPhone. Scroll to Safari .

2. Select Clear History and Website Data .

Confirm the same from the following menu.

4. Remove Safari Extensions

One of the Safari extensions may interfere with Twitter. You should remove unnecessary Safari extensions and try again.

1. Go to Safari Settings on Mac (check the steps above).

2. Move to the Extensions menu. Select an extension and click Uninstall .

1. Open Safari Settings on iPhone or iPad.

2. Select Extensions . Tap an extension and disable the same.  

5. Disable iCloud Private Relay

As a part of iCloud+ and Apple One subscriptions, the company offers Private Relay to hide your browsing data and IP address from trackers and websites. It uses a proxy server to re-route the traffic. When one of such servers faces an outage, Twitter may not work in Safari. You should disable Private Relay.

1. Click the Apple icon and open System Settings .

2. Select your account and open iCloud .

3. Click Private Relay and disable the same.

1. Open Settings and go to your profile.

2. Select iCloud and open Private Relay .

3. Disable the option from the following menu.

Try loading Twitter in Safari, and it should work as expected.

6. Turn off VPN

An active VPN connection on your Mac, iPhone, or iPad may cause issues with Twitter in Safari. You should disable a VPN network and try again.

7. Check Twitter Status

If Twitter servers are down, you may face issues with loading the same in Safari. You can visit Downdetector and search for Twitter to confirm the same. You need to wait for Twitter to resolve server-side issues.

8. Update System OS

Apple updates Safari with system builds. You can install the latest software version and load Twitter without any issues.

1. Go to Mac System Settings .

2. Select General and click Software Update .

1. Open iPhone Settings.

2. Go to General > System Update and install the latest iOS build.

9. Try Another Browser

Does Safari still give trouble with Twitter? You need to ditch it and go with Google Chrome , Microsoft Edge, or Firefox on Mac and iPhone. You can export your Safari history and bookmarks, and your preferred extensions are available on rival browsers too.

10. Your Account Is Restricted  

If you don’t follow or break Twitter guidelines, the company may raise a flag and restrict your account. Twitter ban usually lasts for 48 hours to a week. When your Twitter account is restricted, you can’t perform basic actions. You need to wait for the account restriction to lift.  

Get Back to Your Twitter Feed

Twitter not loading or working in Safari can confuse you. Since Twitter has killed third-party apps with the lack of API access, you have no option but to go with the official website only.

Twitter for Mac, one of the first Catalyst apps, now available for download on the Mac App Store

What you need to know

• Twitter for Mac is now available to download from the Mac App Store.
• It launches with support for live streams and automatic Dark Mode.
• The app is one of the first to use Apple's Catalyst technology to bring iPad apps to the Mac.

Today, the Twitter for Mac app has made its return to the Mac App Store. Originally announced at WWDC 2019, many were expecting its return when macOS Catalina became available, but the new OS rolled out without Twitter for Mac. That changed today, as Twitter for Mac became available to download for all macOS Catalina users.

When Apple announced its Catalyst technology at WWDC 2019 in June, the company talked about how developers will now be able to bring their existing iPad apps to the Mac. With well over a million iPad apps on the iOS App Store, this spelled a huge opportunity for developers and for users who have enjoyed apps on the iPad but have had to switch to a browser when accessing the same app on their Mac.

One of the apps highlighted at WWDC was Twitter, who had once had a Mac app but had shut it down years ago. Now, with Catalyst, Twitter has taken its iPad app and brought it back to the Mac.

The app functions exactly as you would expect it to whether you are on a browser, on iPad, or on iPhone. It even comes with automatic Dark Mode support which will change it from light to dark mode along with the rest of the apps in macOS Catalina. Things do look a little odd if you take it into fullscreen, as the timeline currently does not expand to make use of the extra real estate. This is something that will hopefully be worked out in a future software update.

You can download the Twitter for Mac app from the Mac App Store now.

Twitter Rolls Out Sign in With Apple on iPhone and iPad

Twitter's " Sign in With Apple " feature is now widely available to iPhone and iPad users, following a beta test earlier this month.

Sign on with ease and start scrolling your timeline. Now, when you log in or sign up to join the conversation on Twitter, you have the option to use: ▪️ Your Google Account on the app and on web ▪️ Or your Apple ID on iOS, and soon on web pic.twitter.com/Nf56H1ghmY — Twitter Support (@TwitterSupport) August 2, 2021

Account names appear to be generated based on user name and can be changed afterward, but there are some limitations to be aware of. Since Sign in with Apple does not create a password, it can be difficult to change an account's email address, select a new profile name, or deactivate an account.

Twitter says that Sign in with Apple support will be coming soon to the web.

10 Solutions for Twitter Not Loading in Safari on iPhone, iPad, and Mac

Twitter, now known as X, remains one of the most popular social media platforms despite its recent rebranding. With feature-rich mobile apps and a web version, Twitter allows users to browse their feed and stay updated on the latest trends. However, many users have reported issues with Twitter not loading properly on Safari. If you're facing the same problem, here are ten solutions to fix Twitter not loading in Safari on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac.

1. Reload the Webpage

If Twitter is not loading in Safari, it could be due to a weak internet connection. Try reloading the Twitter homepage by clicking the refresh icon in the Safari address bar. This simple step can often resolve the issue.

2. Try Private Window

Switching to a private window in Safari can help troubleshoot Twitter loading problems. Open a private window and sign in to your Twitter account again to see if the issue persists.

3. Clear Browsing Data

Clearing your Safari cache can solve many issues, including problems with Twitter. Follow these steps to clear Twitter data on Safari:

• Open Safari and click on “Settings” in the menu bar.
• Go to the “Privacy” tab and select “Manage Website Data.”
• Search for “Twitter” and click “Remove All.”
• Open your iPhone's Settings and scroll to “Safari.”
• Select “Clear History and Website Data.”

4. Remove Safari Extensions

Sometimes, Safari extensions can interfere with Twitter loading properly. Remove unnecessary extensions by following these steps:

• Go to Safari Settings.
• Select “Extensions” and click “Uninstall” for each extension.
• Open Safari Settings on your iPhone or iPad.
• Select “Extensions” and disable unnecessary extensions.

5. Disable iCloud Private Relay

If you're using iCloud Private Relay, it may cause issues with Twitter on Safari. Disable Private Relay by following these steps:

• Click the Apple icon and open “System Settings.”
• Select your account and go to “iCloud.”
• Click “Private Relay” and disable it.
• Open Settings and go to your profile.
• Select “iCloud” and open “Private Relay.”
• Disable the option.

6. Turn off VPN

If you have an active VPN connection on your Mac, iPhone, or iPad, it may be causing problems with Twitter in Safari. Disable your VPN network and try loading Twitter again.

7. Check Twitter Status

Sometimes, Twitter servers may be down, causing issues with loading on Safari. Visit Downdetector and search for Twitter to check if there are any server-side issues. If so, you'll need to wait for Twitter to resolve them.

8. Update System OS

Ensure you have the latest software version installed, as Apple frequently updates Safari with system builds. Update your system OS to the latest version to resolve any compatibility issues.

9. Try Another Browser

If Safari continues to give you trouble with Twitter, consider trying alternative browsers such as Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, or Firefox. You can export your Safari history and bookmarks, and many extensions are available on these rival browsers.

10. Your Account Is Restricted

If you've violated Twitter guidelines or haven't followed them, your account may be restricted. Twitter bans usually last for 48 hours to a week. During this time, basic actions on your account will be limited. You'll need to wait for the account restriction to be lifted.

With these solutions, you should be able to get back to your Twitter feed without any loading issues. Although Twitter has discontinued support for third-party apps, the official website remains the primary platform for accessing Twitter.

Useful Safari Extensions: Twitter and Nags

In 2019, I started writing a bit about the different things I was using to make my online experience a more private (because I, like many of you, think privacy is important 🙂).

Though I’ve not written much about since then, I have found a couple of utilities that I use to help my browsing experience. Though they don’t necessarily fit in with things you may find in my articles on privacy , they still help with certain things that are simply annoying.

Here are are a couple of Safari extensions that I’ve found useful to have installed on iOS when browsing the web.

Safari Extensions: Twitter and Nags

🐦 tweaks for twitter.

Tweaks for Twitter is a Safari extension (well, technically it runs in other browsers, too!) that turns off much of the things that make Twitter annoying (no, I’m not talking about whoever you’re following that’s always tweeting about the things you hate – that’s up to you do unfollow).

Tweaks for Twitter is a web browser extension that improves the user interface of  twitter.com  in many ways. Tweaks for Twitter

For example, this removes promoted tweets, hover cards, “See more tweets from,” and then that little insert that Twitter shows where its “Followed by others you follow.”

It gets Twitter as close to back to basics as it was once upon a time.

🛑 Banish

In short, Banish is a Safari extension that hides or removes those annoying pop-ups that show on sites like Reddit that say “Open this in [our dedicated app] for more!”

An ultra-efficient Safari Extension that blocks annoying ‘Open in App’ popups & other dark patterns on the web. Banish

No thank you, please. I’d rather just stay in the browser and not download yet another thing, especially if it’s a web wrapper. (And if it’s going to be Reddit, Apollo has your back anyway.)

Note these work on iOS and macOS but I spend a lot of time in other browsers on my desktop for development work. But for browsing on any device, these work great.

More To Come

When I was writing regularly, I enjoyed sharing some of the things I was using even if it wasn’t explicitly about development. Not only do I think it helped surface things that I found through others, it also helped to others continue to share things that I find useful.

Maybe this will do more of the same.

Ratings and Reviews

Does what it says it'll do.

Not much to say here, it does exactly what it says it'll do which is great for my older Mac since it makes loading Twitter profiles much easier.

A must have for Safari.

I’d never be able to withstand Twitter for Web on Safari without this extension. A must have for every user.

You've gotta have this app!

I'm glad this app exists! I don't wanna see trending topics, just focus on my stuff. :)

I went on a 2-week safari in South Africa's famous Kruger National Park for just $50 a day

• I went on an epic two-week safari in South Africa's famous Kruger National Park for about $50 a day.
• I camped beneath the stars and saw elephants right from my tent.
• Driving our own car, camping, and preparing our own food saved us money. 

The idea of a South African safari often conjures up images of five-star lodges and luxury game drives — but a holiday in the bush doesn't have to be out of reach for travelers on a tighter budget.

According to a data analysis from Go2Africa , the average traveler heads on South African safaris with a medium-high budget, meaning they spend $5,500 to $6,000 on a trip, an increase from last year.

But, on a recent trip, I found that I was able to have an incredible two-week safari trip in Kruger National Park for about $50 a day.

Here's how I did it and how travelers can save money when planning their safari.

I saved by buying an annual pass

The biggest savings at Kruger National Park can come from buying a Wild Card, an annual pass that gives you a year of access to 80+ parks in southern Africa, including Kruger.

The Wild Card is discounted for South Africans but it cost me 3,780 rands, or about $200, as a foreigner.

Without a Wild Card, I would've had to pay over 486 rands a day to visit Kruger, meaning this pass pays for itself in just over a week.

Overall, my pass came to about 270 rands a day for the two-week trip.

We also stayed in one of Kruger's many rest camps

One of the most immersive ways to experience Kruger is by camping in the South African bush. We saw elephants near our camp and woke up to the sounds of warthogs and hyenas in the distance.

We live in South Africa , so it was easy enough to bring our own camping gear, though travelers can rent a tent, sleeping bags, chairs, and cooking basics from nearby rental companies for a few thousand rands for two weeks.

Kruger National Park has a range of rest camps for different budgets and preferences, whether you prefer to use your own tent or stay in a bungalow with your own kitchen and bathroom.

Related stories

Prices also vary depending on the season, so it's wise to avoid really busy months, like September and December. I found that around mid-January to mid-March, two people can camp at Punda Maria, one of Kruger's cheapest camping options, for just 285 rands a night. During high season, prices go up by about 100 rands per night.

My husband and I visited during a less busy season. We camped at Maroela Satellite Camp and Crocodile Bridge Rest Camp for 331 to 349 rands a night.

Cooking our own food saved us money …

We chose to prepare our own meals and braai (a type of South African barbecue) beneath the stars.

Fortunately, most campsites have plug points, braai stands, shared bathrooms, shared kitchens, and shops selling everything you need to braai.

The park also has restaurants and coffee shops scattered throughout it, which is helpful for anyone who wants to purchase food and drinks without leaving the property.

But there's nothing quite like braaiing beneath the stars, watching for the occasional hyena along the fence line.

… and so did doing a self-driving safari

If you don't have your own car, you can rent a sedan for just over 4,000 rands for two weeks. Fortunately, though, there are enough tarred roads in Kruger that you don't need a special 4x4 to enjoy the park.

We ended up self-driving our own car in Kruger National Park, which allowed us to choose our own adventure and be our own guide.

Rest camps have sighting boards on which visitors pin their major animal sightings from that day and the previous day. This makes it easy to follow trends and choose where to search first. There's also an app where visitors post their sightings.

On our last self-drive safari in Kruger, we saw cheetahs and all the Big Five (leopard, elephant, rhino, lion, and African buffalo).

Overall, our trip was affordable and dreamy

We saved money throughout our trip and managed to go on a two-week safari in Kruger National Park for just under $50 a day per person.

This price includes two Wild Cards, petrol for our vehicle, and our camping fees and expenses — and our trip was well worth it.

6 Tips to Improve Your Safari Experience on iPhone

A ccessing the internet on an iPhone is made simple by Safari, Apple's native web browser; it does a great job of getting you started, but there are several other features that you can leverage to enhance your user experience.

Below, we'll list some valuable tips you can use to get the most out of Safari on your iPhone. So, let's get started.

1. Modify the Start Page

The start page is the first element you usually run into when launching Safari—it's the default screen if you've not used the browser before or didn't leave any tabs open after your last session. And the first step you can take in improving your Safari experience is to customize it.

Customizing the start page involves changing the background image and choosing the sections (listed below) you want the app to show. We've added descriptions to help you understand a little more about each section.

• Favorites : This section will show all your favorite websites and bookmarks which have been added to the Favorites section on your iPhone.
• Frequently Visited : This is a collection of searches and websites you've frequented in recent months. The information is said to be a mix from all your Apple devices if you've enabled iCloud.
• Shared with You : It works by finding links, images, music, and more, sent within the Messages app, and brings them up in relevant applications. For example, if someone texted you a link via iMessage, you'll find it in this section of the start page.
• Privacy Report : This section surfaces information on the trackers used by websites you've visited in the last 30 days and showcases when your iPhone—and other Apple devices—prevented them from profiling you.
• Siri Suggestions : You can find website suggestions based on your recent browsing history, bookmarks, and open tabs within this section if you choose to use them.
• Reading List : You can find the three latest additions to your Reading List in this section, with a Show All button available in case you want to view the other articles you've added to your read later list.
• iCloud Tabs : This feature showcases up to four most recent tabs open on each Apple device you own with iCloud enabled for Safari.

To begin customizing your Safari's start page, follow the steps listed below:

• Scroll down to the bottom of the Safari start page and tap Edit.
• Now, enable the desired sections using the toggles or reorder them by pressing (and dragging) the three horizontal lines.

If you want to experience Apple's Continuity feature , toggle on Use Start Page on All Devices at the top of the edit menu. This will ensure your start page is in sync across all devices connected to your iCloud account.

2. Create Tab Groups in Safari

The next step in improving Safari on iPhone is to create and use Tab Groups . The feature lets you bring order and control to tabs by allowing you to group similar ones—or those you often use together—into folders. Ideally, you can use the feature to separate search results and websites related to work from those you open during casual browsing.

To create a Tab Group, follow the steps listed below:

• View all your tabs by tapping the Tab button in the bottom-right corner.
• Now, tap the text box at the bottom of the screen—it mentions the number of tabs open.
• In the menu that appears, tap New Empty Tab Group or the second option, New Tab Group with X Tabs .
• Name the Tab Group according to your liking and hit Save .

The X in the second option will vary based on the number of tabs open when creating a Tab Group.

3. Use Safari Extensions

Like Chrome, you can install Safari extensions to improve your browsing experience. For those unaware, these are applications built for web browsers that bring additional functionality and make your life easier.

For example, you can install applications that scour the web for coupon codes and bring them up when you're making a purchase or add ones that help edit written content to ensure you aren't making silly errors.

Adding extensions to Safari on an iPhone is a bit different compared to installing and removing extensions in Safari on a Mac . To do this, follow the steps listed below:

• Go to Settings > Safari on your iOS device.
• On the next screen, find Extensions under the General subsection and tap on it.
• You'll now see a list of extensions available. In case you see no options, tap More Extensions to visit the Safari Extensions store.

You may sometimes see options without having installed an extension before; these are present due to an application—that offers Safari extensions—installed on your iPhone from before.

Once you've installed an extension, activate it in Settings using the same steps above and then do the following:

• Open Safari and tap the AA button in the address bar.
• Now, tap Manage Extensions and select the extension you want to activate.

4. Choose Websites to Automatically Use Reader

Reader in Safari is a nifty add-on that lets you read content from a website with minimal distractions and no ads. It makes the experience quite simple and offers options like changing the page color, font, and font size.

Activating Reader is quite simple; tap the AA button in the address bar when you're on a supported webpage and choose Show Reader . However, if you frequently visit a specific website, you can configure Safari to load all its webpages in Reader. Here's what you need to do:

• Open the desired website and tap the AA button.
• In the context menu that appears, tap Website Settings .
• Now, toggle on Use Reader Automatically . Each supported webpage will now open in Reader, making it easier to read the content.

5. Set Tabs to Open in Background

Despite it being easy to access AI tools like ChatGPT on mobile for learning about things, if you prefer getting deep into the weeds when doing research, you may want to view many of the following webpages in new tabs.

By default, opening a new tab via a hyperlink will leave the old tab behind and move you to the new tab. While this behavior is fine, it can feel like a chore if you'd like to open multiple results from a search page.

Fortunately, you can change this behavior. Here's what you need to do:

• Open the Settings app, and scroll down to the Safari option.
• On this page, under the Tabs subsection, tap on Open Links .
• Now, choose In Background .

6. Configure Safari to Automatically Close Tabs

Lastly, while the ability to open many tabs in Safari is a boon, knowing ways to organize your browser and keeping it clutter-free can help you focus better and increase productivity. And keeping only a few tabs open can be a part of this regime.

Safari on iPhone also helps with this, with the ability to automatically close tabs after a set period of time; we've detailed the steps to activate the feature below:

• On this page, under the Tabs subsection, tap on Close Tabs .
• Now, choose from the available options: After One Day , After One Week , or After One Month .

Become a Safari Power User With These Changes

Each customization method listed above will help improve your Safari experience, be it with a new background image that makes the app feel more personal or a setting that keeps it clutter-free.

Overall, Safari is an excellent browser that can be made even better for power users with a few changes. And some of Apple's exclusive features make a strong case for the app, especially if you're a Mac user.

‘My heart stopped’: Fossil Rim giraffe accidentally picks up toddler during drive-thru safari

GLEN ROSE, Texas ( KWTX ) - A Valley Mills, Texas family suffered quite the scare at Fossil Rim on June 1 when a giraffe accidentally picked their toddler up out of the bed of their truck.

At Fossil Rim, visitors get to drive themselves along a path where exotic and endangered animals all roam free. Visitors are allowed to feed the animals.

Paisley Toten, 2, was riding in the back of a pickup truck with her mom, feeding all the animals, when one giraffe accidentally grabbed her shirt and lifted Paisley into the air.

Paisley’s father, Jason Toten, recalled the moment the giraffe picked up his daughter, which was caught on video by a car behind them.

“We stopped to feed the giraffes and I turned around to look out the back window, and I saw the giraffe kind of digging around right there, and then it just grabbed her and I didn’t see her no more,” he said.

According to Toten, it was a complete accident and they never broke any rules.

“Paisley was holding the bag and the giraffe went to go get the bag, not get her, but ended up getting her shirt too and picking her up,” the father said.

Thankfully, she didn’t get too high up before the giraffe dropped her.

“Soon as she went up her mom just yelled hey - like ‘HEY!’ - and the giraffe just kind of let go.”

When she fell her mom was right there to catch her so no one was hurt, but it was still a scary moment for everyone.

“My heart stopped, my stomach dropped… it scared me.”

Afterwards, Toten said they even went to the gift shop and got Paisley a toy giraffe because “she deserved it.”

Other than that, the girl’s dad says it was a great trip to Fossil Rim and that they plan on going back to visit eventually.

According to the Fossil Rim road rules , you are allowed to ride in the bed of a truck as long as there is an adult riding in the bed as well and everyone can fit safely inside the vehicle in case of an emergency.
