After the force stops, it will turn off all the background processes and restart upon relaunching the app. Now, try to access the page to see if it’s loading.

Method 2: Ensure the JavaScript is Enabled

JavaScript is the backbone of modern web technology, which is used on 98.9% of all on the client side to help load web pages. If it is disabled, the web pages may have trouble loading. You can check the Internet app settings to confirm that JavaScript is enabled.

  1. Open Samsung Internet on your device.
  2. Tap the More horizontal 3-bar icon options and select the Settings menu.

JavaScript setting is enabled by default on the Internet app. However, you can consider disabling and re-enabling the button as a troubleshooting trick. Now, go back to the web page with the issue and reload to check.

Method 3: Clear Browsing Data from the Samsung Internet app

The browsing data accumulates over time, preventing your web pages from loading smoothly. It is necessary to clean stale cookies and cache from the Internet app. To do so:

  1. Open Samsung Internet on your device.
  2. Tap the More horizontal 3-bar icon options and select the Settings menu.

After this, the webpages may take a while to load and accumulate cache, which might rectify the page loading issue on the browser.

Corrupt app data leads to the lagging and crashing of your web pages. To fix this, you must clear the app data from Android settings, which will restore the Internet app to factory settings.
