Why is the Twitch Failed to load Module Error Triggered?

Once we heard that the Twitch Failed to Load Module error was occurring for some of our users, we started investigating the error and came to conclude that the following must be the paramount reasons due to which it is triggered.

  • Glitched Page: It is possible that the Twitch page has been glitched due to which the Twitch Failed to Load Module issue is being triggered. Therefore, we suggest that you try to reload the page because that will reload the loading configurations and fix this issue.
  • Extensions: Some extensions can prevent the Twitch page from loading properly due to interference with the network packets. Therefore, we suggest that you disable these extra extensions as we have done in the solution below.
  • Corrupted Cache/Cookies: Corrupted cache and cookies is one of the most common reasons behind the error as they prevent the browser from effectively loading the website. Clearing out the cookies and cache as mentioned in the solution below regenerates them and clears out any issues during the loading process.
  • Browser Issue: The browser that you are using might be glitched, outdated or incapable of loading the website. Therefore, switching the browser is always a good way of testing if the issue lies with the browser or not.

Now that we have taken you through most of the reasons behind the issue, we can finally start implementing the solutions for it.

Before you Start:

  1. Make sure that you launch the Twitch website in “Incognito mode” and check to see if the issue is fixed here. This is because all the extensions are disabled in this mode and it might fix the issue if an extension is causing it.
