Safari is a beg problem

I frequently get safari cannot find the server cannot connect to web server. I have this a long time from my used MacBook.my ipad mini generation 1 my iPad mini gen. 5 my iPad 10,2 inch iPad gen. 9 now brand new 10.9 inch 10th gen iPad. That’s has happened so long on 5 different iPads pretty much substational proof that safari is the worst browser. Further I never get that with Google, DuckDuckGo, brave, or Microsoft edge and many others that don’t run safari. My wife a hp which runs windows 10 and she said really I don’t get that on my hp.

iPad mini 5, iPadOS 16

It’s iPad that being said I’m sure you there is a very small and short manual. Is there some where in settings I could make the adjustment? Or call the Apple Store which has been very helpful with 5th gen mini 9th gen iPad and now 10th gen iPad? Let me know the best route thanks

By all means the best route is to go to an Apple Store, if you are fortunate enough to have one nearby. A hands-on inspection and face to face discussion is infinitely preferable to this site, where we can do little more than guess and hope to point you in the right direction.

I'll post the equivalent Support document for the iPad when I get a chance but it's not as comprehensive as the one for Macs — which offer some additional suggestions that aren't applicable to the iPad.

On the iPad, remove all VPN add-on apps, all ad-blockers, all Safari extensions, all add-on security apps, restart the iPad, and test again.

Also test server access from a Wi-Fi network not yours, as that avoids the usual networking blocks that can be implemented on Wi-Fi routers

Read and follow all the suggestions in If Safari doesn't open a page or work as expected on your Mac - Apple Support.
