Not sure if just me (just got a new laptop) but this site will load fine most of the day, but sometimes i come back and i get an error in chrome/edge/IE that the site can't be loaded. Won't load again until i reboot. Only this site though.

Google/Chrome have been stalling on me, but my poor neglected phone browser works fine. People used to ask why they even included a "crappy" browser on the phone. Ha!

Try changing your dns settings so you're using quad9/cloudflair/opendns instead. If your gateway is nice enough (almost all are) you can change your settings there so all machines on your network will use that or you can do it on a per machine instance.

Just research any of these and they'll point you on how to set it up - this way you're not relying on your ISPs DNS and can better zero in on what the deal is. You can also take additional steps to make it so all resolution requests are done over a secure layer with some of these, but you'll need to have a good gateway for this.

You may need to make sure your browser isn't using some other DNS services on top of this as well, so research a little on that to disable the features they've been adding in about this. I think I read Firefox went ahead and overrides your dns by default to do some of the things I've explained.
