It depends on what's causing it. You should first try clearing all your cache, cookies, etc. If that doesn't help, disabling any extensions would be the next step to see if one of them is causing it. If it's not an extension, it's probably a setting, and while we do have an option to reset your settings, it actually doesn't touch as many settings as you'd think, so it may also be worth creating a new profile just as a reference to see what settings you've changed that would be worth experimenting with to see if changing back helps. In particular, Tracking Prevention and ad blocking settings are usually the worst culprits since their very purpose is to cause parts of a page not to load.

Thanks for your response. I managed to figure it out. I first logged out of all the edge browsers I was signed into except one.
I removed my only extension of an ad blocker and cleared/deleted all browsing data.
Then I tried resetting the settings to default with the option in the settings page. But my banking site still didn't work properly.
I have never used about://flags ever, but I read an article to go in there and reset those to default. When I followed their steps and tried that, it fixed my banking website. Again, I've never been in about flags before, so I don't know what's happened but there was something in there that was turned on somehow by something else, that has caused the issue.
I waited a couple of hours just in case settings sync needed some time to sync. Then I relogged back into all my edge browsers on my other devices and the banking website started working again on all of them. It also fixed issues with other sites I was having issues with too. Like Outlook.com wouldn't save any of my settings, which is fixed now. And all websites load instantly now too, the performance is incredibly fast now. Which has made me decide to no longer use the dev version of edge. Just in case that's what changed settings on me and caused all my issues.
