Problem
To improve website access speed, the computer system caches a website's URL and IP address locally after successfully accessing the webpage. The next time the URL is accessed, the system connects directly through the IP address.
Some websites may retain the same domain name while their IP address changes. If the local DNS cache has not been refreshed, the website may become inaccessible. In this case, we can try refreshing the local DNS cache to see whether it resolves the issue.
