The “No data received Error” or ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE can be seen while browsing vivid websites on internet. It means the websites you are trying to access is denying you to get access, not responding or not sending data in response to your request because of poor internet connection, firewall, web cache or regarding any other networking hardware, all of which act as intermediaries for data communication. I have face this problem a lot of time not only me but I think a lot of users have come up with similar kinds of issues.
How to Fix ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE or No Data Received Error
I personally find this problem very irritating while browsing something on Google Chrome and no matter which type of windows version you upgrade your PC into, including the lastest new version Windows 10 there seems to be no respite from these.
1. CLEAR THE BROWSING DATA OF YOUR BROWSER
Browsing data mainly consists of a records of various webpages that you have visited in your past browsing periods or sessions and it also includes the name of the website as well as it’s corresponding URL.It includes other private data components such as cache, cookies, saved passwords etc are also save during your browsing period which eventually leads to congestion. All this stored data can slow down your browser or prevent you from accessing websites and cause “ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE”.Now follow the following steps:
STEP 1: Go to the Chrome menu click on settings.
STEP 2:Once the settings windows open, scroll down below to find the section that says advanced.
STEP 3:Click on advanced and scroll down to find the option that says clear browsing data.
STEP 4:In the new window that opens go to start at the top to select “The beginning of time” next to the “Clear the following items from section”
STEP 5:Next check the following sections before clicking on clear browsing data.
*Browsing history
*Download history
*Cached images and files
*Cookies and other site data
STEP 6:After finishing off restart your browser to see if this ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE fix has worked in your favor or not.
2. RESET YOUR NETWORK SETTINGS
To reset network settings you will have to execute several commands using Command Prompt. This method includes entering and executing “Ipcofig” and “Netsh” commands. Ipconfig is a command-line tool that displays the current configuration of the installed IP on a network computer. Now we can flush and reset the content of the DNS client resolver cache and renew DHCP configuration. Netsh is a command-line utility that allows you to display or modify the network configuration of a PC that is currently running and it also provides a scripting feature that allows you to run a group of commands. Now follow the following steps as mentioned.
STEP 1:Open the Settings app on your device that has an icon that resembles a gear. Tap this icon to open the settings app in your device.
STEP 2:Tap general management icon which is near the bottom of the settings menu in the settings app that displays the general management menu.

3. USE A VPN
A VPN is a virtual private network is a secure tunnel between two devices. VPNs are used to protect private web traffic from snooping, interferences, and censorship. When you switch on VPN your traffic is routed through en encrypted tunnel to a server operated by the VPN company that means that your ISP and anything connected to your router won’t be able to see your web traffic. Now because your traffic appears to come from the VPN server your actual IP address is hidden and it is important because your IP addresses are distributed geographically and can be used to find your location. By connecting to a VPN server in London you can make it appear as if you were accessing the internet from the UK. Now follow the steps :
STEP 1:Open the settings menu on the phone
STEP 2:Tap on wifi and internet or wireless network STEP 3:Tap on VPN

STEP 7:Your network operators should provide the necessary information. The app lets you import files using URL. STEP 8:Now you can manually add a proxy connection.
4. CHECK YOUR NETWORK CONNECTION
When you are enabled to connect to a website then check your internet connection because if your internet speed is low then you will come up with the issue of “No data received Error”.So it is better to use a high-speed internet connection. You can also go to your device and ensure that the date and time are accurate according to the Indian Standard Time.
