All of the sudden I can't access the following sites in Safari on my Macbook:
maps.google.com
sheets.google.com
docs.google.com
It works fine on my iMac on the same home wifi. I've cleared cookies and restarted Safari with no changes. Any ideas on this?
Mystery solved. I use Little Snitch and over the past week apparently added some rules that block certain IPs. These went to certain google sites and youtube.com. I disabled Little Snitch and was able to access the above mentioned sites. I did a search on those domains in Little Snitch and deleted the corresponding rules. Now everything is working again.

Did try to different accounts on the same Macbook and all of those sites worked fine.
Try the Safe Mode. It may not help, but try running/posting the Etrecheck report.
Errors:
Safari can't connect to the server
Safari can't open the page [url] because it can't connect to the server [domain name]
Domain name = youtu.be or google.com from the sites mentioned in the OP.
I also get this error:
Safari can't open the page [url] because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection. This sometimes occurs when the server is busy. Wait a few minutes and then try again.
Try the other admin account and the Safe Mode to see if they work.
What happens when you try? Error message(s)?
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. Please post back on whether or not this worked. Also try the Safe Mode. Please post back on whether or not this worked.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
Safe Mode Startup – El Capitan. also Sierra
If it works in the Safe Mode, try running this program when booted normally and then copy and paste the output in a reply. The program was created by Etresoft, a frequent contributor.

Why can't I access google websites?
