Context
I am updating my website (a WordPress site). I am occasionally reloading the page as I make changes to it.
My Chrome is Version 83.0.4103.61 (Official Build) (64-bit).
Problem
Typically, after perhaps 3-5 updates and subsequent reloads, I am not able to load the webpage anymore. I am simply seeing
Waiting for available socket...
At the bottom of the page. I can wait as long as I want, but nothing happens.
In fact, if I try to open any subpage from the page, Chrome just keeps showing the same error.
If I reopen the same page in an incognito-window or in a different browser, it opens without any issues.
Tried solutions
Restart Chrome? This works. But now my workflow is becoming really inconvenient as after every ~5 updates I have to restart my browser setup.
Open a new incognito window? Works, but same issues as above.
Open in a different browser? Works, but same issues as above.
❌ Open in a new tab? Error persists.
❌ Flush socket pools? Many posts recommend going to chrome://net-internals/#sockets and flushing socket pools. No impact for me, unfortunately.
❌ Disable antivirus? Issue persists.
❌ Clear cookies and cache? Issue persists.
❌ Disable all extensions? Issue persists.
My question
What would you try next? Or how do you even diagnose this problem further?
