Browsers try to download web page?

Today I found that when I try to go to a specific web page in my iPad browsers, including safari, it prompts to download the page, it does not do this for any other webpage. If I do do this I just get a file in my download folder that does nothing. I’ve checked the page in windows and it acts normally.

iPad 2, iOS 9

I can’t browse a lot of different websites via my I pad. What should I do? Every time I use chrome to browse different websites, they show me download recent chrome apps from App Store. But my chrome app is up to date, and this problem started from updating new versions of IPad.Os 16.4

Safari users report problems downloading pdf files Recently, Safari users (Mac, ipad, iphone) have not been able to download or view pdf files generated for them by my site. This always worked before with Safari, but I don't know when the problem started. Chrome, Edge, Brave, and Firefox all work fine, but Safari gives the error: [Safari cannot open the page. The error was: "cannot parse response".] My customers use a Mac or iPad, but I verified the problem via an iphone running IOS 14.4. I have searched the web for answers and have tried deleting cached files and cookies and even disabling experimental Safari features one-by-one. So far, nothing helps. I currently tell people to use Chrome, Brave, Firefox, or Edge, but I would rather not have to do that. Any insights will be appreciated.

I selected iPad, but it says iOS 9. That must be an old one. Mine is 13 or whatever the latest one is.

tried to open the page again and it worked. I don’t know how it fixed itself.
