Safari won't load Twitter

I have a late 2014 iMac 5k 27-inch running macOS Big Sur v. 11.7.7.

Though my machine is no longer supported, I have thankfully continued to receive critical security updates. Unfortunately as of two of those updates ago, Safari will no longer load Twitter. I continually get a message "Seems like you lost connectivity. We'll keep retrying." And, I am not having any trouble with my wifi connection with any other site or activity.

I do not have any problem connecting to Twitter on Chrome, Firefox or Opera.


Not expecting a fix from Apple here. Any suggestions for a workaround?

Hello Harold Flax,


Since the page partially loads the navigation icons, the internet connection and Safari appears to be working properly. Something is just preventing full access to the site. Do you have any sort of 3rd party pop-up or ad blocker installed in Safari? If so, that is most likely the cause. If you do have something like that installed, try disabling it or removing it, then test out this website again.


Here's some other basics you can run through for connection issues with Safari: If Safari doesn't open a page or work as expected on your Mac


Cheers!
