Why are Youtube comments not loading?

If you are not sure what does the youtube comment not loading means, then it’s the condition when you can view the youtube video, like it, and post the comment as well but you are not able to view other people’s comments.

Sometimes the owner of the video disables the comment for the viewers. If that’s the case you cannot see the comment neither you can post it.

Solutions for Youtube Comments Not Loading Problem 

As mentioned earlier we will discuss different methods to solve the problem. You should follow the methods in chronological order and the probability is that the problem will be fixed before you reach the last method. If you follow all of our solutions and still the problem is not resolved then you can try Youtube alternatives.

Solution 1: Refreshing the Website

The first step you should do is refresh the website and wait some time. There may be some temporary issue because of which the youtube comments not loading. You can also try closing the tab and opening it in a new tab.

If you still face the problem after refreshing a couple of times and even opening it in a new tab. It’s better to open the link in incognito mode.

You can open the incognito mode in the different browser by this shortcut:

Incognito Mode in Chrome:

• Windows, Linux, or Chrome OS: Press Ctrl + Shift + n.
• Mac: Press ⌘ + Shift + n.

Incognito Mode in Safari:

• Shift + ⌘ + N.

Incognito Mode in Mozilla Firefox:

• Windows, Linux, or Chrome OS: Press Ctrl + Shift + p.
• Mac: Press ⌘ + Shift + p.

If Youtube comments not loading even in incognito mode, wait a few times. Maybe the problem is on the youtube side. There are many times when youtube faced internal problems because of which such a problem arises.

If you want to confirm either the problem is on the youtube side or not you can check out their Twitter page and see either other people are mentioning the issue or not.

If it’s not the problem on the youtube site and refreshing the website as well as opening it in incognito mode doesn’t solve your problem then head over to the next solution.

Solution 2: Changing the browser

You can switch to another browser to see if the youtube comment is loading there or not. If you can see the youtube comment in another browser then probably the problem is with your browser and you have to fix it. If you don’t know what is the problem with the browser you can try the following two steps:

1. Disabling the AdBlocker.

AdBlocker is a wonderful tool that makes our life way easier and prevents us from annoying ads but sometimes the AdBlocker causes some sites to crash. There are many incidents when the AdBlocker stops the youtube comment to load.

So, it’s better to disable the AdBlock and check either it is working or not.

Note: We suggest you disable the AdBlocker because its the only way of earning for most of the blogger and YouTuber like us. If we get something in return from a blog or youtube channel it keeps us motivated to continue our hard work and provide better content.

2. Disabling other plugins.

Sometimes there is a conflict between different plugins which causes different problems while browsing the internet. No to mention youtube not loading is comment is one of them. Moreover, sometimes the plugins/ extensions are corrupted or poorly built which causes problems. So, it’s always better to check whether the problem is caused by plugins or not. To do so simply disable all of your plugins and check YouTube again to see whether the comment is loading or not. If you see the comment enable each plugin one by one by constantly refreshing the youtube page to find out which plugin is preventing the youtube video to load.

Solution 3: Checking the Internet Connection

The second step to fix any existing internet problem like youtube comments not loading is checking the internet connection. You can check your internet connection by visiting the sites like speedtest.net which not only checks your internet connection but also check your internet speed. Wondering how to use this site? Follow the article below.

1. Open Speed Test site in your browser.
2. After opening the website just click on “Go” and wait for it to complete its test. Once the test is complete you will see something like the below:

   

Once you check your internet speed, you can be sure either the internet connection is causing the problem or not.

If you have trouble with the internet connection you can restart the router and wait for some time for the connection to return back.

Once you have restarted the router check the internet speed again, if the problem still persists it’s time to contact your network provider and complain about the internet connection.

If your internet connection is working good but still you face youtube comments not loading, then it’s time to use some VPNs.

What is VPN?

If you are new to this word and don’t know the concept of VPN, then VPN stands for Virtual Private Network. Using the VPN you can change your location and bypass some geo-restricted content. You can read more about VPNs here.

You don’t need the premium VPNs for viewing the comments. You can use the free Chrome VPN plugin (if you are using Chrome).

The steps for configuring the VPN are similar to all browsers. In this article, I will teach how to configure VPN in Opera to solve the youtube comment, not loading problem.

1. First of all, navigate to the Chrome extension page for the VPN. (I will use Hola VPN for this tutorial).
2. Click on “Add to Chrome/Opera”

   

3. If it asks you to confirm some data click on “Add extension”  else after clicking on “Add to Chrome/ Opera” you have successfully installed the VPN extension to Chrome/ Opera.
4. You can confirm the VPN is successfully installed by viewing it in the toolbar of your browser.

   

5. Once you have seen the Hola VPN logo click on it and select the unblock.

   

That’s it you have successfully connected to the VPN now reload the website and you should see the youtube comments there.

If you still can’t see the youtube comments follow the next method.

Solution 4: Clearing the Browser Cache

When you surf different websites, the websites store the data in your browser as a cache to speed up the website speed when you visit it for a second time. When such cache is accumulated are high in size then the websites you visit acts strangely so you have to clear the browse cache time and often.

If you are not sure how to clear the browser cache you can follow the instructions.

Clearing Cache in Chrome:

1. On the top right side of the browser, you will see the three dots click on it and then click on “setting”

   

   Or, you can enter chrome://settings  in the URL field and hit enter to open the setting.

2. Scroll down to ‘Privacy and Security and select ‘Clear browsing data.’
3. It will ask you to select the timeframe you can do last 24 hours. If even after clearing the data of last 24 hours, the youtube comment doesn’t load then repeat the step 1 – 3.

   

After clearing the data you should see the youtube comments in the comment section.

If you followed every step one by one from the top then by now you should have fixed your problem. If none of the above-mentioned steps helped you do comment below we will try to help you with your problem.
