Shopify stores not loading
Hi, I'm using Firefox on Desktop and Mobile. For last couple of months, I've been experiencing a problem of Shopify stores loading. When we open any Shopity website (stores specifically), it never loads. Sometimes it shows blank page and sometimes nothing.
At the same time, those sites are working fine in other browsers e.g. Chrome, Safari.
However, when I switch to other wifi network (jazz.com.pk), then it works on Firefox too. I tried different methods to fix it, but no success. Before the websites were sometime opening, but for lost few days, 0 response.
Not sure, where is this issue, I contacted my network support (nayatel.com), they also unable to figure it out.
I tried everything on my end, but no success. Need your help.

Hi Irfan, this is interesting as the most obvious things provided along with your ISP are usually their DNS servers. Could it be that you're not able to resolve, or getting resolved to regionally unfavorable delivery of the Shopify assets? What if you e.g. switch your DNS on the system level from the defaults (possibly the ISP's ones) to some 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8 or any DNS alternative you trust? You might also try going into Firefox settings, looking for "DNS over HTTPS", and changing its settings, on/off, different providers etc. — to see if anything changes for you?
The rest of the steps are more generic, in case the different ISPs just paper over the issue, but it might be something in the connection, caches and similar:
There is no troubleshooter data attached to this post, so the first factor to verify on Windows secured connection issues is: What is your antivirus/phishing/malware software or security solution provider, and what happens if you disable it (or its web/HTTPS features)? Do you use any VPN?
Other than that, the best thing to do is to compare in Private Window, Troubleshooter Mode or creating a separate testing Profile to see how existing site data impact that.
The steps to go through are from the easier to the complex ones:
- Please check if you have Enhanced Tracking Protection (ETP) enabled. You can do that by clicking the shield
icon in the left part of the address bar.
- If ETP is enabled, try disabling it.
- If the problem is not fixed, try clearing Firefox cache.
- If it does not help, try clearing cookies and data for the website you experience troubles with (warning: you will be logged out on this website).
- If it also does not help, try running Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode. If the problem doesn't persist, please follow the steps from this article to troubleshoot further.
- If nothing from the above helps, try creating a new Firefox profile and check if the issue persists there. If it doesn't, you can start copying files from your old profile to the new one to identify which one causes the issue. See this article on what files to copy.

Thank you for the detailed reply. As I mentioned I've tried all these methods to fix (DNS, Clearing Cache & History, Disabling DNS over HTTPS, Incognito Window (if a profile or cache is the issue then it won't open the site on other network too),
