If you have ever clicked one of our links on Facebook and had trouble getting it to open, you are definitely not alone. Sometimes Facebook opens links inside its own in-app browser, and that can cause loading issues or make pages not work correctly. The good news is that there are a couple of very easy ways to fix it.

If our website link is not opening for you, there are two simple options that usually solve the problem right away. You can either copy and paste the link directly into your internet browser, or you can open the link in your phone’s external browser instead of inside Facebook.

Here is an easy step-by-step guide you can follow.

Option 1: Copy and Paste the Link Into Your Internet Browser

This is one of the easiest ways to access a link if Facebook is not opening it correctly.

Step by step:

• Find the link in our Facebook post
• Press and hold the link to copy it, or copy the website address if it is listed in the caption or comments
• Open your internet browser, such as Safari or Chrome
• Tap the address bar at the top of your browser
• Paste the link into the address bar
• Tap go or enter

This should open the page directly in your regular browser, which often works much better than the Facebook browser.

Option 2: Open the Link in Your External Browser From Facebook

If the link opens inside Facebook but is not loading properly, you can switch it to your regular browser in just a few taps.

Step by step:

• Click the link from Facebook like you normally would
• Once the page opens, look for the three dots in the top right corner
• Tap the three dots
• Select Open in external browser

This will move the page out of Facebook and into your normal browser, which can help the link open correctly.

Why This Happens

Sometimes Facebook’s built in browser does not work the same way as Safari, Chrome, or another internet browser. That can cause pages to freeze, not load fully, or not open at all. Opening the link outside of Facebook usually fixes the issue quickly.

If you are shopping a deal, reading an article, or trying to access one of our posts, using your regular browser is often the best option when something is not working right.

Quick Tips If a Link Still Is Not Working

If you are still having trouble, try these quick fixes:

• Refresh the page
• Close Facebook and reopen it
• Copy and paste the link into Safari or Chrome
• Make sure your Facebook app is updated
• Check that your internet connection is working properly

A lot of the time, simply opening the link in an external browser solves the problem right away.

The Easiest Way to Access Our Links

If our Facebook links are not opening for you, do not worry. The two easiest fixes are to copy and paste the link directly into your browser or click the three dots and choose Open in external browser.

Both options are quick, simple, and can help you get to the page without the frustration of Facebook link issues. If you continue having trouble, these steps are the best place to start.
