safari Mac bad gateway cache

For weeks, I have been trying to use Safari on my Mac to login to my Bluehost shared hosing account, like I've done for a long time, only to first see the login page, but then immediately followed by a "bad gateway" 502 error page from Cloudflare. The page also indicates that it's the "host," the My Bluehost login page URL, that is the problem.


But I do believe that it's a Safari problem. I am able to access the URL from Firefox on my Mac, and I'm also able to do so from Safari on my iPad too. I have tried emptying the caches via the Develop menu, but there's no change in this behavior.


I could use some guidance with resolving this issue. Safari is the only browser that I use, and I'd like it for things to stay that way.


Thanks!

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

Hi Velanche Stewart,


You can isolate the issue by testing it on a new administrator account. This will tell you if the issue is related to the current account being used or if it's possibly system-wide. If needed, this article will guide you through creating a new account: Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac.

1. On your Mac, choose Apple menu  > System Preferences, then click Users & Groups.
2. Click the lock icon  to unlock it.
3. Enter an administrator name and password.
4. Click the Add button  below the list of users.
5. Click the New Account pop-up menu, then choose Administrator.
6. Enter a full name for the new user. An account name is generated automatically. To use a different account name, enter it now—you can’t change it later.
7. Enter a password for the user, then enter it again to verify. Enter a password hint to help the user remember their password.
8. Click Create User.

Regards.
