Safari Only Loads Text On Website Or "this connection is not private" Message Appears

Hello!

Three strange things have suddenly started happening to Safari in a last couple days:

1. On many of sites the message "this connection is not private" appears, even if the link starts with https ...;

2. Loads sites only with text written in a long column;

3. Loads the sites correctly arranged, but with a question mark icon in the places of the images.

I tried to:

1. Empty Caches;

2. Remove Cookies;

3. Disable Extensions;

but none of that helped!

This happens as if suddenly on all computers at home!

We use MacOS 10.11.6 with Safari 11.1.2 (11605.3.8.1).

Please help!

Mac mini, OS X 10.11

Safari can’t open a website.

Safari – slow page loads.

Safari - Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues.

Safari doesn't load a page or webpage items are missing.

Are you running any anti - virus programs? Using a VPN?

Try setting up another admin user account in System Preferences/Users & Groups to see if the same problem continues. Please post back on whether or not this worked. Also try the Safe Mode. Please post back on whether or not this worked.

This same thing happened to me starting on June 1. All trusted websites are giving me certificate expiration warnings. When I visit these sites from any other browser there is no problem. My OS is El Capitan 10.11 and I am on a MacBookAir about 8 years old.

Hi!

I don't use an antivirus program or VPN.

At the moment, I do not encounter the above-mentioned problems without following these steps. It was as if he had recovered on his own. But if I encounter these problems again, I will try them. Let others say what their situation is. Thank you!

Your steps are not helpful. The problems that are in this thread seem to be related to an iOS update or a Safari update. Why would multiple people report the same issue after an upgrade? Obviously something that Apple released caused this issue. There seems to be no fix for it and again your steps are not helpful in solving what the issues is.
