If Facebook does not load or respond to any web browser like Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox or Safari, you can apply the following problem solving tips:
1. Update your browser
The browser needs to be updated from time to time so they can function properly. If you haven’t updated your browser for some time now and Facebook doesn’t respond, and you don’t know the reason, this can be the answer to you ‘why’.
2. Clean the data browsing
If you think your browser is too slow, this can be possible because of cache and cookies that have accumulated in its history. You must delete data browsing from time to time as too much can stop Facebook from responding, or it will take too long to load even if your internet speed is good.
3. Use a different browser
If Facebook does not open on Google Chrome, you can switch to another browser because sometimes some unexpected problems can appear with your browser so that this way you can ensure that if the problem is with your browser or something else.
4. Delete the third part or plug-ins application
Facebook may not respond even when you have installed many third-party applications or plug-ins on your device. So you can delete it one by one and see what causes an error.

If the Facebook application does not respond on your Android or iPhone device, here are steps that need to follow:
1. Check Storage available
If your cellphone has enough storage space, this can be the reason why Facebook doesn’t respond. Clean the storage room by deleting unimportant files and photos and then trying to return to Facebook. If Facebook still hasn’t opened, you can try the next solution.

If Facebook still doesn’t work, or too long for FB to respond, you need to check your internet. If the signal is too weak, try moving to a closer place to the router or if you use a cellular network, you can switch to a Wi-Fi network with better bandwidth. You can also try to reconnect to the network by deciding first.

It can also fix problems with Facebook and you have to restart the app if it’s too long to respond. You can also get out all other applications that run in the background today can also cause Facebook applications too long to respond.

The Facebook application tends to accumulate cache files from time to time and do not clean the cache can produce a frozen Facebook application, crash, or not respond again. To fix it, open the FB application from your device settings and then from the storage section, clear the cache. After that, check if you face the same error.

After you clean the application cache, the next step must be out of your Facebook account and then restart your mobile device. After this, go to your Facebook account again and see if it responds normally.
