Some websites do not open in safari, firefox and google chrome. I have been trying for a few days now and it is always the same.
In safari, I get
"Safari can't open the page "xxx" because the server unexpectedly dropped connection. This sometimes occurs when the server is busy. Wait for a few minutes then try again."
In google chrome, I get "This site can’t be reached.
The web page at xxx might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address. ERR_RESPONSE_HEADERS_TRUNCATED"
In firefox, when I click on the URL from google or type in the URL of the website, I get this
I am not sure why it does this because the URL is not a document.
I am on MacOS big sur 11.1
Thanks!

As a general rule, there are several things you can do to troubleshoot:
