Webpages won't load on WiFi, but streaming works fine

My phone won't load web pages while I am connected to WiFi. I constantly have to switch over LTE just to load a full page. Oddly, I can stream YouTube with absolutely no problem. It only happens with applications like Safari and the Reddit App.


It's definitely not my router. My laptop doesn't have this problem at all.


Does anyone else have this issue?

Thanks for the suggestion, but this doesn't have any impact. It'll still load smoothly in LTE.
