If I were you, I'd also try to restore my browser to its default settings and try again.
Want to give it a go, and let me know how it goes?

Hi Megan
It's not just my browser experiencing this issue — even when I try in incognito mode, the problem persists. Additionally, several other people who accessed the link have encountered the same issue. We're using it in production mode with hundreds of users so please can you help me

Hey raniabys, does this happen when you use a specific link, or with every single one?
If it happens with a specific link, do you think you could delete it and re-create it from scratch?Unfortunately, due to security reasons we can't access the link, and I had to remove it in order to avoid it getting too much traffic.
