Facebook not loading and other problems mentioned above are very common among Facebook users. However, Facebook has nothing to do with it. The problem usually lies on a Facebook user’s computer or gadget.

Facebook not working; causes

Facebook user’s computer time settings  are incorrect.

Incorrect time settings will lead Facebook not displaying properly. In my experience, if your computer time and date is one (1) week later, Facebook won’t load properly even if you have the fastest internet connection  and great computer specification.

This fact is oftentimes overlooked even by the system administrators. So it’s worth looking into this issue first before proceeding into another possible reason of Facebook display problems.

So many Browser add-ons and extensions

Browser add-ons are helpful in making your surfing experience a whole lot easier. However, too much as always,  is not good. It can be the cause of Facebook  not working properly.

Choose only add-ons from trusted sites and the one that is useful for your tasks. Keep in mind that some browser add-ons are the source of phishing technology that will not only harm your Facebook experience but as well as your privacy.

Software is causing Facebook not loading properly problem

Facebook cannot load properly, is sometimes due to Security Software such as Antivirus and Internet Security.

Check your Antivirus, especially if you are using Internet Security software. Make sure that the Facebook website is in your Internet Security exclusion list.

Why Facebook is sometimes blocked by Security software?

It’s what we called False Positives, security software was programmed to do things according to how it is being scripted. We have to understand that the one who coded it is human, and human sometimes makes mistakes.

The Exclusion list, is what we called safety net for Antivirus in case it reacts differently towards trusted or a legitimate Website or software, and Facebook is one of it.

Browser cache, cookies and temporary files

Facebook not loading properly problem is sometimes caused by cache and temporary files.

Most browsers use cache, cookies and temporary files technology to improve the user browsing experience. It stores data for the purpose of easy retrieval in case the user asks the same content. However, there are times that it encounter problems. Thus, displaying website content can be affected.

In this case you have to clean or clear your browser’s cache and temporary files. Usually, after clearing your cache and temporary data, your Facebook must display correctly now. Nevertheless, if the problem continues, check the below instruction.

Facebook not Loading may cause by Virus attacks

One of the reasons why your Facebook, loads slowly and cannot display properly is the virus. Browsers are an easy target, just a simple download or just a visit of any malware infected websites, your browser can acquire a virus. Then it starts to change your browser settings to its advantage and you are unaware of it. After a while, when you are trying to log in with your Facebook account, all you can see are texts, no pictures even the Facebook button isn’t colored.

In this case, download Malwarebytes latest version, then install. If you are having problem in installing it see this How to fix Malwarebytes runtime errors. Run the update and scan your Computer. To make it safer, uninstall your browsers. Download the latest version of  Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox and install respectively.

There you have it, you can now log-in to your Facebook without loading and display problems.

Update: 2018

Recent problem occurs to some Facebook users. Every time they load Facebook in their browser it displays encrypted text. It is due to Facebook turning on Brotcoli encoding. Due to that issue most Kaspersky Internet Security users encounter Facebook display error. As a temporary workaround, it is advised to temporarily turn off “Privacy Mode” via settings.

Fortunately, this issue is already solved.

What if, Facebook still won’t load after following the steps above?

Chances are, Facebook servers is DOWN. Yes, it can happen anytime even to gigantic and popular websites like Facebook — nothing is invincible in this world. So, what to do? You have to wait a couple of minutes and try to revisit it again if it’s now loading properly. Usually, you will see an error or notice as shown in the image below.
