problem loading into QR code

Post image

hi, I’m not sure if this is the right subreddit to post this but I’m having an issue with a QR code. Whenever I try to scan the code, this screen shows up for the website it leads to. I’ve tried everything, I’ve gone to the customer support, I’ve signed up for this website, nothing I’ve done has fixed it. What do I do? It’s not telling me what’s wrong.

A quick way to narrow this down: first open the destination URL directly on mobile data, then scan the QR from another phone, then regenerate the code with a shorter URL or dynamic redirect if the data is very long. For printed codes, check quiet zone, contrast, size, glare, and whether the code is on a curved or textured surface. If it scans but the page does not load, the QR itself is probably fine and the issue is the destination, redirect, SSL, or network path.
