Problem with Safari in iOS 11.0.1

[Aerofly]

Hi guys, I’m wondering if there is someone here who can furnish me with a solution to a really annoying problem that’s been plaguing me over the last few days.
I’m running iOS 11.0.1 on an iPad Air2 (128Gb), and when I try to open certain websites in Safari, they partially open, with the blue ‘load line’ reaching around halfway, before stopping and failing to load with eventually the message “There was a problem loading this page”. The same websites load perfectly when using Chrome or Firefox with no problems.
I’ve tried resetting the Safari cache, no better, I’ve ‘hard reset’ the iPad, still no joy. I turned off ‘background app refresh”, again no better, and I’ve even closed all of the open apps, nada!.
After pulling out several chunks of what little hair I have left, and as a last resort, I turned off JavaScript in Safari. ‘Voila’, all websites now work again in Safari!!!.
Turn on JavaScript again, and they all fail?.

One thing I have noticed is that the majority of the problem website are either forums or sites that require a login.

Has anyone any idea what I may have done to make JavaScript hate Safari so much?, and is there anything I can do to make them friends again?.

Things I would try.

Try turning off ‘Prevent Cross Site Tracking’.

You can also try ‘Clear History and Wegsite Data’. Sometimes the stored data for a website can cause problems. You’ll need to re-log into all the you sites that usually remember you.

Thanks, I'm just downloading iOS 11.0.2 as we speak, not sure that will do anything though. When that's done I'll give your suggestions a try.

Well, I’ve just downloaded iOS 11.0.2, and not changed any settings, and all is working as normal!!!!!
Of course I didn’t bother to look at what the update included, it must have changed something, any idea where that info would be?

Another user was having similar problems, so it could have been a bug. Doing an update tends to reset a lot of catches and otehr stuff too, so that’s also a possibility. Either way, I’m glad it’s working for you again.
