clicking on website shows a page about the website but unable to get to site


 

I hope this makes sense;
When I click on a website in my email. I get a page document about the website or article but no images and I am unable to see the site.
Any idea if there is setting that I accidently hit?
Thank You?
Sue

Apologies, Sew, but I¡¯m not certain what you¡¯re describing. If you receive an email containing an embedded URL, Apple¡¯s Mail app will often show a small preview from the linked page rather than the html code of the URL, with an arrow adjacent to the top right corner attached that permits you to see EITHER the URL or that preview.

Here¡¯s an example:


Clicking either the image or the URL should take you to the page. If you¡¯re describing something that happens only occasionally, it¡¯s likely the problem would be with the URL itself. On the other hand, if EVERY URL or preview image you check doesn¡¯t work, then it¡¯s likely at your end. One example of that I¡¯ve discovered recently with the current macOS and Safari is that some websites will gobble up ENORMOUS and ever-increasing amounts of system memory (no other browser I¡¯ve tried seems to do this), and if you have 2 or three web tabs open, each of them actually using 5-8 GB of RAM, you may just not be able to open any more pages (and your Mac will become sluggish unless you¡¯re endowed with 32 GB of RAM

Descriptions of problems such as yours always benefit from including information of what Mac you have, what version of macOS you¡¯re running, and what browser and/or email client you¡¯re using.

THANKS JIM,
I am using a Mac Air with Sequoia 15 1.1
Sometimes I see the web site as you show and sometimes i don't
I may have 2 or more web pages open and will work on closing some and see if that helps

When that happens, I try switching to the DuckDuckGo browser. That seems to do the trick.
