Key notes
Most websites includebuttonsof some description, and they usually work fine. However, on certain sites, it might not always work when users click them.
In such cases, nothing happens when users click certain, or all,buttonson specific pages. That will often be a browser issue, but might also be something for website developers to fix.
You might have come across errors such asThis site is not secure,You don’t have permission to access this server, or maybe evenThis media couldn’t be loaded. Don’t worry, we got fixes for all of them.
Problems like these can become extremely frustrating in time, as you can end up wasting a lot of time trying to figure out what is happening.
In order to help you fix the problem with website buttons not working, we came up with a series of fixes, described below.
Why does the back button not work on some websites?
That’s a good question you asked there, and you should know that there isn’t just one cause that can trigger this. In fact, the back button becoming unresponsive can occur due to multiple factors.
First of all, remember that while browsing the Internet, certain websites open their links in either a new window or a new tab. As a result, all your previous search history will not move over to the new window.
Furthermore, when you visit a web page, it can automatically direct you to another page. If you press the back button after this happens, you will immediately be re-forwarded to that same page again.
Another situation is when you access websites that add code to their pages, which prevents users from using the back button to leave that site.
Last but not least, it could be possible for an Internet browser to become corrupted, causing some features and functionality to stop working.
Quick Tip:
If you keep having issues with websitebuttons,it may be better to switch to a new browser. Users might find that some website buttons are not working in Chrome so, try opening the websites in an alternative one, such as Opera One.
Opera One is a Chromium web browser with a similar UI design to Chrome, andyoucan also utilize Chrome extensions.
