Q: safari can't establish a secure connection; but Firefox and Chrome are fine

Many URLs suddenly just hang in the last few days in Safari, perhaps after an update. They are HTTPS sites, and BOTH Firefox and Chrome load the pages just fine.

 

Example page:

https://Wikipedia.com

https://theguardian.com

 

 

etc. All normal pages. I try and try and after perhaps 30 seconds, Safari stops failing and works.

 

I have tried resetting the DNS cache via Terminal

 

Any ideas?
