issue:
Solution:
the majority of page loading problems are a result of the DNS Fetching in Google Chrome.DNS Pre-fetching stores information in the browser to speed up the loading of websites in Chrome. It can, under certain circumstances, result in connection problems...(that can make you curse your laptop/computer). This can happen if a wrong or outdated DNS is stored in the browser for the website in question. You can try emptying the cache, clearing the history files, emptying the %temp% and temp files... but it's useless. What DNS Fetching does is, it speeds up page loading by about 250ms. Chrome users who experience connection difficulties regularly might want to try turning the feature off to see if it resolves the issues.
How to turn off the feature :In the Chrome options. A click on the Wrench icon in the upper extreme right corner of the page and the selection of Options opens, See the image below for the settings window of the web browser
Predict network (DNS pre-fetching)
Keep only phishing and malware protection checked [uncheck the others]. Close Options, and restart the web browser. Sometimes this function works and the websites are able to load without any problem. ... well it didn't work for me!!! Arrrrgh !!!!!! But that of course only solves the Chrome issue, if IE, Mozilla, Safari yet shows you the error, and if you see this “Oops! Google Chrome could not find [name of website]
Try reloading: [name of website]” in Chrome, this is what you need to do >>>> "Change the DNS settings." Period!!! It is much safer than resetting the router as some do suggest. Also it improves your internet Security.For those unaware, there are many different providers of DNS (Domain Name Servers) available on the Internet, most of them are paid servers.
