Hi norway09,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that Safari on your iPad is not working as expected. In this situation there are two different troubleshooting steps that I would recommend.
First, please use the information in the attached article to clear your history and cookies from Safari.
Safari web settings on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Clear information from your device
To clear your history and cookies from Safari in iOS 8, tap Settings > Safari > Clear History and Website Data. In iOS 7 or earlier, tap Clear History and tap Clear Cookies and Data.
To clear other stored information from Safari, tap Settings > Safari > Advanced > Website Data > Remove All Website Data.
To visit sites without leaving a history, turn on private browsing.
After that process has been completed, I would suggest completely closing Safari and then opening it fresh using the instructions located in the next attached article.

Best regards,
Joe
