Admin access issues reported by several merchants: the Shopify admin either won’t load (“There’s a problem loading this page”) or is extremely slow.
What’s been tried: clearing cache/cookies, using different browsers, and checking Shopify Status (shows no incidents). Results: issue persists for multiple users.
Community troubleshooting suggestions:
Verify internet connection and try another device.
Disable browser extensions/antivirus that may block rendering.
Confirm the URL is correct (avoid malformed links).
Watch for specific errors: 404 (wrong/removed URL) and 500 (temporary server issue; report if it doesn’t resolve within 24–48 hours).
Shopify staff update: no known platform-wide admin issues currently. Next step is to contact Support via the provided link to open a ticket; this reply was marked as the solution for process guidance.
Recent user reports: one merchant says Support acknowledged the case but no resolution after a week; another still faces the issue; one notes the admin loads but very slowly; another reports 4 days without a support response.
Status: unresolved/ongoing. Action items: follow the support escalation link and continue local troubleshooting above; awaiting official diagnosis/resolution.

Well the common reasons behind loading issues are:
Webpage facing downtime
Faulty internet connection
Software blocking page rendering on the browser
Cached and cookies on the browser
As you said you have already cleared the cookies from the browser, so I would recommend you:
Check your internet connection
Disable the extensions or antivirus software that might be blocking the webpage
Ensure that you are not using the misformed URL
See if you’re getting any error messages on your website, like:
Error 404: Not Found: If means that the content has been permanently removed from the URL that you are adding, so check if you are adding the correct URL while looking up the website.
Error 500: Internal Server Error: This error indicates that there is an internal server issue on your website. It is usually a temporary error and gets resolved itself on Shopify. You can see the error when the Shopify server is down. You can inform Shopify of the same if it doesn’t get resolved within 24 to 48 hours.

I have the same problem. I contact support and they said that they will see what is the problem. Its been a week already and no one have email me back with a solution
I suggest clearing your cache and cookies. When you use a browser, like Chrome, it saves some information from websites in it’s cache and cookies. Clearing them fixes certain problems, like loading or formatting issues on sites.
