The "ERR_CONNECTION_RESET" error can occur when there is a problem with the network connection between the user's PC and the server hosting the Webflow site. Here are some possible causes and solutions for this error:
- Network connectivity issues:
- Check if your PC is connected to the internet and ensure there are no disruptions in the network connection.
- Restart your router and modem to refresh the network connection.
- Try accessing other websites to determine if the issue is specific to the Webflow site or a general connectivity problem.
- Firewall or antivirus settings:
- Temporarily disable your firewall or antivirus software to see if they are causing the connection reset error.
