Oddly, a blank Safari page can be viewed by entering the reading mode

and sometimes shutting Safari and reopening it works wonders too.

Disable experimental Safari features

Some additional features within

Safari may be causing blank

screens to appear

4

Clear website data

Scroll down the screen and you will see

a highlighted option called ‘Clear History and

Website Data’. Tapping this will cause you to

delete your history, cache and cookies.

5

Try another way

If you don’t want to delete your history,

you could try simply clearing your website data.

In this case, go to Safari>Advanced>Website

Data and tap ‘Remove All Website Data’.

6

Confirm your choice

Either way, you’ll be asked to confirm your

action. You can now return to Safari and load

the website again. If all goes to plan, the pages

should now display as normal.

Can an ad-blocker be to blame?

Adverts on websites can be mightily annoying

which is why many users have taken to using

ad-blockers. Trouble is, there is a chance that

they could be to blame for the blank webpages

you’re seeing so it’s worth turning them off to

see if that makes a difference. You can do this

within Safari by pressing the ‘AA’ button to the

left of the search bar and selecting ‘Turn Off

Content Blockers’. Turn them back on via the

same method.

Knowledge base

Reach this page

You will need to navigate to this page

within the Settings app. Tap the option

for Safari and scroll right down to the

bottom and select ‘Advanced’. Then

tap ‘Experimental Features’.

Disable the lot

If you don’t think you will need

any of the experimental features

• and Safari will work perfectly
  well without them – then you can
  go down the list and disable them
  all. Many have found this does
  the trick.

Check the list

You are likely to find that many of

the experimental WebKit features

are enabled. One of them may

be causing the blank pages. You

could try deactivating them one-

by-one to see which is the issue.
