The ‘taking too long to respond’ error indicates that there is a communication problem between the target server and the client (your web browser). It means that the targeted server is taking a long time to send a response to the client. The error is usually sent if the client cannot get a response within 30 seconds. The connection attempt is then terminated. Show The website address you are trying to access cannot be reached with your search query. While it is quite possible that you just made a spelling error in entering the website address, in most cases, it is because there is another underlying issue occurring with your domain name system (DNS) server and the issue either needs to be fixed or it needs to be reset.
Most commonly switching to a mobile network resolves this issue. You can get back to WiFi/LAN after a successful connection
Sometimes this issue can appear due to your browser configuration, and in order to fix this problem, it’s advised to reset your browser to default. What causes the ‘taking too long to respond’ error? Internet connection problems A particular website may fail to load if you do not have an internet connection. Check that your device is connected, for example, via a LAN or Wi-Fi. If you use a LAN, you need to check your LAN settings. You also need to make sure that your TCP/ipv4 protocols are correctly configured. We will look at how to fix internet connection problems later on in the article. Your server is overwhelmed If you are using shared hosting, there is a possibility that there is not enough memory to allow for a connection between your client and server. When using shared hosting, memory allocation is not equally distributed. There might be sites that use a lot of memory, leaving others with little memory available. The DNS (Domain Name System) is what translates domain names to IP addresses. This is because it is easier for browsers to ‘read’ IP addresses (which are made up of 4 sets of digits separated by a period as in the image below), while it is easier for humans to remember text, which is why domain names are made up of text as in www.abc.com Option 1: Restart the DNS client
Option 2: Change DNS servers Sometimes you can fix this error by changing up the DNS servers that you are using to access the internet. It is always recommended to use an alternative DNS address when your internet connection is slow.
