The website is unreachable.

Hey there You’re having some trouble accessing Lowes’ website in Chrome, which is giving you an ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR. That’s quite frustrating. Here’s what might be causing it and how you can troubleshoot:
Possible Causes:
- Server Issues: Lowes’ website might be down temporarily, or their servers could be experiencing technical difficulties.
- HTTP/2 Protocol: Chrome supports HTTP/2, which might be misconfigured on the server-side or blocked by your network.
- Browser Extension Issues: One or more of your extensions might be interfering.
- Network Settings: Your local network settings or DNS could be blocking the connection.
Troubleshooting Steps:
-
Check Lowes’ Current Status:
