If a website won’t load, your DNS (Domain Name System) server may be slow, down, or blocking access. DNS translates website names (e.g., google.com) into IP addresses that computers understand. If your ISP’s DNS is faulty, the site may not resolve properly. Changing to a reliable DNS, like Google’s (8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4), can: Fix Loading Issues – If the default DNS is down, switching may restore access. Improve Speed – Some DNS servers respond faster, reducing website load times. Bypass Restrictions – Some ISPs block sites; changing DNS can help access them. If switching DNS fixes the issue, the problem was likely with your ISP’s DNS server.
