My iPad air is old but updated to 12.4.8 Model #MD788LL/A. It will not fully load some websites. The one I am most anxious to use is the Washington Post website, but a few others are doing the same thing. Please help to fix!
Hello.

Once you've completed these steps, test out Safari. Feel free to keep us updated. Cheers.
While all third party Web browsers use the same Apple Safari Webkit, many browsers find ways to do things that the default Apple iOS Safari Web browser won't.
Also, the iOS 12 version of the Safari Web browser has not had any major updates in over 2 years!
Try other third party party Web browsers that are still compatible with iOS 12 and are still receiving regular updates.
Still many third party Web browsers that still support iOS 11 and iOS 12 and later.
Best of Luck to You!
Some websites will not fully load on my old iPad .
