Websites not loading on iPad using Safari

Home Depot, Washington Post and other common websites won’t fully load on my iPad 8th generation using Safari. (Home Depot even has an alert saying it’s “not compatible with this browser.”.) This happens every time I try to use these sites, even after restarting my iPad, clearing website data, connecting via cellular or WiFi and other suggestions made here. This is a relatively new iPad, running IOS 14.8. It’s very frustrating having to switch to Chrome.
