Safari loading blank pages

This is an iPhone 8 with iOS 13.1.2. Ever since my update to iOS 13, Safari returns a blank page when loading a webpage.

Upon starting Safari, everything is fine. After some length of time browsing websites, eventually the bug will appear. Every webpage I try loading, a blank page will appear. Curiously, I can see the webpage in reading mode. Sometimes, I can see the webpage in the tab switcher. But the actual page is blank. Nothing is wrong with any of these websites, as the pages load properly in other browsers. Also, if I close and reopen Safari, everything will be working again.

Any thoughts? Please no irritating suggestions to hard reset or backup and reinstall. I’m looking for specific ideas or conjectures as to what the culprit is.

SOLVED - I too had this problem on my iPhone XR, iOS 13.1.3 and solved it by setting the Zoom to standard:

Settings - Display & Brightness - Display Zoom - View - Select Standard - Press Set in top right corner

Hope this helps.

Has the Chrome app been better? Do you think it may be a Safari app bug?

I am going to try this solution. This has bothered me for a while, so I’m looking forward to seeing if this helps.

Thank you for the tip.

Do you mean JavaScript? I don’t see a switch for Java in Safari, only JavaScript.

I tried Chrome. I get this issue with Chrome too. But not near as much.

Same problem for me - on iPad and iPhone XR. Ever since going to iOS13. Just occasionally the browser appears to change size slightly and then the only thing that resets it is to shut down the Safari browser. Seriously considering going to Chrome...
