<\/span><\/h2>\r\nWhenever the page unresponsive error appears, users can either wait for the page to become responsive or just quit. Users commonly face these errors with low-end computers, but there’s no compulsion.<\/span><\/p>\r\nThis is why below we have listed some possible fixes one can try to get rid of the page unresponsive error in Chrome. You can start with the common and temporary fixes and then move on to the advanced ones if they don’t work.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<\/span>1. Quit and Restart Chrome<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\r\nAn easy way to fix the unresponsive page error is to restart the Chrome browser. Restarting Chrome clears the browser from the system memory and allows it to load from scratch, which might be able to fix the issue.<\/span><\/p>\r\nNote that clicking the<\/span> X icon<\/b> does not properly exit Chrome on the computer. It might still keep running in the background. To close it completely, you need to force quit the browser. Here are the steps to force quit Chrome on Windows and Mac.<\/span><\/p>\r\nForce Quit Chrome on Windows<\/b><\/h4>\r\n
Step 1:<\/b> Close Chrome by clicking on the <\/span>x <\/b>icon.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<\/p>\r\n
Step 2:<\/b> Press <\/span>Ctrl + Shift + Esc<\/b> on your keyboard to launch the <\/span>Task manager<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<\/p>\r\n
Step 3:<\/b> Find Chrome and <\/span>right-click on Google Chrome<\/b> and select <\/span>End Task<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<\/p>\r\n
This will remove chrome from the system memory. Close any other Chrome-related task in the same manner.<\/span><\/p>\r\nForce Quit Chrome on Mac<\/b><\/h4>\r\n
Step 1:<\/b> Click on the <\/span>Apple icon<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<\/p>\r\n
Step 2: <\/b>Next, click on the <\/span>Force Quit…<\/b> option.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<\/p>\r\n
Alternatively, you can simultaneously press Option + Command + Esc <\/strong><\/span>to open the Force<\/strong> Quit<\/strong> menu.<\/span><\/p>\r\nStep 3: <\/b>Select the <\/span>Google Chrome<\/b> browser in the list.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<\/p>\r\n
Step 4:<\/b> Click on <\/span>Force Quit<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<\/p>\r\n
Step 5:<\/b> In the confirmation prompt, select <\/span>Force Quit.<\/b><\/p>\r\n<\/p>\r\n
Wait for a few minutes and then open Chrome to see if this fixed the issue. Restarting Chrome is not a permanent solution. You might face the issue again, but this makes up for a quick way to get things back on track.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<\/span>2. Restart Your Computer<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\r\nIf the Page Unresponsive message still appears after restarting Chrome, I suggest restarting your computer. This could fix any underlying temporary issues or glitches on your machine as restarting clears all programs from the RAM.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<\/span>3. Check the Internet Connection<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\r\nThe page unresponsive error can also be caused due to unreliable internet connection. In such cases, the browser fails to load the website’s contents properly and shows this error.<\/span><\/p>\r\nMake sure you have a stable internet connection by checking your modem or router. Pause or stop any ongoing background download process. Disable any proxy or VPN you are currently using.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<\/span>4. Update Chrome<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\r\nWebsites often drop support for older versions of the browser to keep up with the latest web standards and security protocols, causing the Page Unresponsive issue. So if you are running an ancient Chrome version on your PC and facing this issue, it might be time to update your browser.<\/span><\/p>\r\nStep 1:<\/b> Click on the <\/span>three-dot menu<\/b> in the top right corner of Chrome.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<\/p>\r\n
Step 2:<\/b> Go to <\/span>Help<\/b> and then select <\/span>About Google Chrome<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<\/p>\r\n
Chrome will check the latest available version and start the download process.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<\/p>\r\n
Step 3:<\/b> Once downloaded, click on <\/span>Relaunch<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\r\nAfter the relaunch, your browser will be updated to the latest stable version. Go ahead and visit that page again to see if the issue is fixed.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<\/span>5. Use the Incognito Mode<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\r\nThere can be several reasons within your browser causing the site to be unresponsive, but you can try opening the same website or page in Incognito mode. This is because extensions do not work in Incognito mode, and it does not carry over the same cookies and cache data from the standard mode.<\/span><\/p>\r\nStep 1:<\/b> To open the Incognito window in Chrome, click on the<\/span> three-dot menu<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<\/p>\r\n
Step 2:<\/b> Select <\/span>New Incognito Window<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<\/p>\r\n
This will open a new incognito window in Chrome. <\/span><\/p>\r\n<\/p>\r\n
If the page opens normally in incognito mode, you can be sure that the issue is caused either by an extension or corrupted browsing data. You can use the methods mentioned below to delete them from your browser.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<\/span>6. Clear Browsing Data<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\r\nAnother solution for the page unresponsive issue is to clear your browsing data. Over time, your browser may get cluttered with enormous amounts of browsing data, cache, and cookies that might conflict with the website or become corrupted. So clearing the browser data can help solve the problem.<\/span><\/p>\r\nStep 1:<\/b> Open Chrome and click on the<\/span> three-dot menu<\/b> at the top right side of Chrome.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<\/p>\r\n
Step 2:<\/b> Open <\/span>Settings<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<\/p>\r\n
Step 3: <\/b>Go to <\/span>Privacy and security<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<\/p>\r\n
Step 4:<\/b> Select the <\/span>Clear browsing data<\/b> option.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<\/p>\r\n
Step 5:<\/b> Here, select <\/span>Browsing history<\/b>, <\/span>Cached images, and files <\/b>as well as <\/span>Cookies and other site data<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<\/p>\r\n
Note that deleting cookies will sign you out of websites where you are logged in.<\/span><\/p>\r\nStep 6:<\/b> Click on <\/span>Time range<\/b> and select <\/span>All time<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<\/p>\r\n
Step 7: <\/b>Lastly, click on <\/span>Clear data<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<\/p>\r\n
Once you have cleared the data, quit the Chrome browser and reopen it. Deleting cache and site data should make your browser snappy and should fix the unresponsive page problem.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<\/span>7. Disable Extensions<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\r\nExtensions on Chrome can help enhance the user experience. Still, with the increasing number of malicious extensions, sometimes an extension can block a webpage from loading or cause an unintended effect causing the page to be unresponsive. So if you’re facing unresponsive issues, it is better to disable suspected extensions.<\/span><\/p>\r\nStep 1:<\/b> Click on the<\/span> three-dot menu<\/b> on the top right side of Chrome.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<\/p>\r\n
Step 2:<\/b> Go to <\/span>More tools<\/b> and select <\/span>Extensions<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<\/p>\r\n
Step 3: Turn off the toggle <\/b>for the suspected extension to disable it.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<\/p>\r\n
An easy way to check whether an extension is causing the issue or not is to open the site in Incognito mode. Disable all the extensions and try enabling them one by one to find the culprit.<\/span><\/p>\r\nStep 4:<\/b> Once you find the culprit extension, you can go ahead and click on Remove<\/strong> to delete it from the browser.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
