Loading issue?

What should you do if your page doesn’t appear to load right?

Some users may occasionally experience longer than normal load times depending on their device, browser, and bandwidth. If a blank page loads, or a button seems unresponsive, give it a moment to load or respond; and remember that taking each section in order will help reduce wait times. If the page does not load in a short time, close it and try again.
