Fixing Safari for Mac Error “This webpage was reloaded because a problem occurred”

Although the Safari browser under the Mac system is excellent, it is not perfect. Safari users occasionally encounter situations where the page refreshes and displays an error message "This page has reloaded because of a problem". You may also see variant information like "repeated problems".

Since the error message is quite general, you may be wondering the root cause of the error in Safari and how to fix this on your Mac.

Causes causing Safari for Mac to have a "This web page reloaded because a problem occurred" error

Usually, if there is a memory problem, a website crash, or an incompatible with Safari, a software error, or other similar issues, you will see this error message in Safari on your Mac.

• Memory issues, high RAM usage: If you open too many tabs, browser windows, or resource-intensive websites, Safari may experience memory issues and browser tabs or windows may crash. Since this error message usually only occurs in a browser tab or window, it is usually caused by a particular website that has memory leaks, excessive JavaScript code, complex media, complex scripts, or other very resource-intensive situations, which can cause the browser tab/window to crash. For many Safari users, this is often the most common cause of "problem" errors.
• Content Blocker and Extension Conflict: Some common browser extensions modify web pages, such as content blockers or modifiers, which may cause problems in certain websites, causing browser tabs/windows to crash.
• Software Error, Safari needs to be updated: If you haven't updated MacOS or Safari for a long time, you may be using an older version of Safari that has a known bug or issue that has been fixed in a later version. Keeping Safari (and MacOS) up-to-date versions prevents such crashes and problems.

So, now that you know part of the reason, how to solve it?

How to fix "Web page has reloaded because a problem occurred" error in Safari for Mac

Usually, this issue will be resolved by itself, which means that the problematic browser tab/window will crash, reload, and then work as expected. If this is the case, it is of course best, but this is not an absolute guarantee.

If you frequently see "This webpage has reloaded because a problem occurs" error in Safari on your Mac, try the following:

• Close unused browser tabs and windows to reduce memory and resource usage.
• Restart Safari to clear temporary cache files and clear memory and resource usage.
• If the problem recurs on a specific webpage, it may be due to an extension conflict, so try disabling the extension and use the page again.
• Install available Safari and MacOS updates to make sure everything is updated and the error is fixed as expected.
• If you haven't restarted your Mac for a long time, restarting your Mac can be helpful, and it's a good habit anyway, especially in modern MacOS versions where certain system tasks (such as kernel_task) can be consuming a lot of memory.

Typically, simply quitting and restarting Safari, closing unused tabs to reduce resource usage, or even restarting your Mac is enough to resolve and stop further issues with specific web pages in Safari.
