Tips if thesun.co.uk is not working

Verify the URL - One of the most frequent causes of not being able to visit a web page is entering an incorrect URL. If you're URL is wrong, the website may redirect to another website or display an error page.
Use a Different Device - Try using a different computer or device to access the website or app. We also advise you to attempt rebooting your device.
Delete Browser Cache - It's possible that cached files are preventing your browser from downloading new web pages. Refreshing the page will clear it. To do that, click Ctrl + F5 on a Windows PC or Cmd + Shift, then press R on a Mac.
Clear Browser Cookies - Clearing browser cookies fixes certain issues, such as loading or formatting issues on sites. You can do this by clicking your browser settings, then privacy, then clearing browsing data.
Use Incognito Mode - You can also try viewing the website in private mode or incognito mode first. By using this, cookies and all temporary cache will be automatically disabled.
Restart Your Router - Try restarting your network connection if other websites or apps are having problems or are running slowly.
Firewall and Antivirus - Your ISP provider may have blocked the website or app you are attempting to access. If that's the case, you can try using a VPN service to visit the website or app to see if it will work.
Check your Firewall & Antivirus - These can occasionally block access to certain websites or services. To troubleshoot this issue, you may consider temporarily disabling them to see if it resolves the problem.
Clear DNS Cache - To speed things up, all OS systems save name resolution information into the DNS cache. In your case, the information recorded could be outdated or incorrect. We advise you to search on How-To guides on the web to clear your DNS Cache.
