6 Methods to Fix the "Images Not Showing" Problem on Any Website

A while back, when I was browsing the net on Google Chrome, I faced an uncommon issue in which I couldn"t load any image. Whenever I will try to load any website, its images would be broken instead. Needless to say, the issue can affect your browsing experience and should be fixed instantly. After trying several methods, I have come up with some tried and tested solutions to resolve the "images not showing on website" problem in this guide.

Part 1: Possible Reasons for "Images Now Showing on Website"

Why are images not showing on website? Before we learn how to resolve the images not showing problem on any website, let"s quickly consider some of its major causes. This will help you check if the problem is with the web browser or the images you are trying to load.

The image's file path is not correct: You might already know that every image is stored on the database with a unique path. Therefore, chances are that you could have entered the wrong path for the image.

Wrong spelling or extension: Besides that, if you have entered the wrong name for the image or its extension, then it would cause image not available on website.

Database-related problems: The database where your images are stored could be down or unavailable. You might have passed a bad or corrupt SQL command as well. Besides, here is an article of  Repair Microsoft Access Database File and Recover Data.

Service issues: Furthermore, even the site"s server that is hosting the image could be down. The image can also be missing or unavailable from its storage.

Other problems: There could be some issues with your browser, or the file might not be transferred entirely from its source. You might not be connected to a stable internet connection, virus infected or a browser extension could be blocking those images.

Part 2: 6 Smart Methods to Resolve the "Images Not Showing" Problem

Now when you know the possible reasons for causing the unavailability of images on any website, let"s quickly fix this issue by following these fixes:

Method 1: Use Another Browser or Update Chrome

One of the most common reasons for displaying broken images could be related to an old or corrupt web browser. For instance, if you are facing this issue on Google Chrome, then consider using another browser like Firefox, Opera, Safari, Brave, and so on.

Besides that, you can also resolve the images not showing problem by updating the browser. To do this, just launch Chrome and click on the hamburger (three-dot) icon from the top-right corner. Now, go to Help > About Google Chrome to open its settings. From here, you can check the present version of the browser and click on "Relaunch" to update it.

Method 2: Clear Browser"s Cache and Cookie Data

Another reason for causing this issue could be the accumulation of old cookies or cache data on your browser. Thankfully, the problem can easily be resolved by simply clearing all the accumulated browser data.

Let"s consider the example of Google Chrome. To clear its data, you can just launch Chrome and click on the three-dot icon from the top-right corner. Now, go to its Settings > Advanced > Clear Browsing Data. This will open dedicated options from where you can choose to remove your browser"s cache, cookies, history, and so on.

Method 3: Grant Relevant Permissions for the Website

You might not know this, but you can set up different permissions for various websites (like location, camera, images, and so on). Therefore, if you are not able to view images for a particular website, then chances are that you could have disabled this option before.

To fix it, just launch Google Chrome and go to its Settings from the three-dot icon on the top. Now, from the sidebar, you can go to its Privacy and Security settings and click on the "Site Settings" feature.

Here, you can get a list of various websites and can just search for any site for which you are facing this issue. Click on the dropdown icon to manage permission for the selected website. From here, you need to allow permission to load images on the website that you have selected.

Method 4: Disable any Unwanted Extension on Google Chrome

At times, a browser extension (particularly an Ad Blocker) can also stop images from loading on any website. The easiest way to resolve the "images not loading on website" problem due to this is by disabling the extension for a while.

You can first launch Google Chrome and go to its Settings from its Menu > Settings option. Now, just click on the Extensions feature from the sidebar to view the installed plugins and extensions.

click extensions

From here, you can just check details for any Chrome extension and toggle the switch off to disable it. Once an extension is disabled, you can launch Chrome again and try loading any image.

Method 5: Delete Google Chrome"s Default Folder

If you have been running Chrome for a while on your system, then some of its data can get corrupt. In this case, you can choose to remove the default data from Chrome that would be downloaded again when you restart it.

To resolve the images not showing problem, just close Chrome and open the Run prompt. Now, enter the "%localappdata%" command to go to your PC"s local storage. From here, you can browse to Google > Chrome > User Data and simply rename or delete the Default folder.

Please note that I have taken the example of Google Chrome while listing these solutions, but you can implement these methods on any other browser as well.

Method 6: Try Different DNS Servers

A helpful troubleshooting step is to experiment with different DNS servers to see if this resolves your issue. When a webpage loads images, it uses URL links to fetch them. The choice of DNS server is especially important for websites that use Content Delivery Network (CDN) services, which distribute images from multiple servers around the world. If your current DNS servers have incorrect IP addresses for local CDN servers, your browser may not load images correctly. Switching to Google DNS servers can help determine if this is the root cause of the problem. Here’s how to do it:

Step 1: Load the images to fix on Wondershare Repairit

Step 1: Open the "Control Panel."

Step 2: Navigate to "View network status and tasks" under the "Network and Internet" category.

Step 6: Select "Use the following DNS server addresses." Enter 8.8.8.8 for the Preferred DNS server and 8.8.4.4 for the Alternate DNS server, then click "OK."
