Ninja Tip: If you want to delete data for one specific website without clearing your entire history, go to Settings > Apps > Safari > Advanced > Website Data. You can then tap Edit or search for the specific site to remove just that single entry.
If you are still experiencing persistent issues with your browser, you can reset all your network settings by going to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
