On my small LAN the main PC often has a problem with loading web
pages, particularly Tesco's. Move to the next room and access is no
problem on the next PC.
I know Tesco's site is often flakey these days but it seems too much
of a coincidence, too frequently not to be a PC or a router problem.
How can I work out which?

(Surprised to realise how rusty I'm getting on all this!)
You could try bringing up a command prompt or Powershell, and type:
ping tesco.com
-- Do you get the same result on both machines?
On the main PC try also:
ipconfig /flushdns
-- which does what it says on the tin. Any better?
Is the connection solid on the main PC? (E.g. can you stream video without >glitches?) Are you using the same browser on both machines?

Lots of people had the same problem with Lidl but it seems to be sorted now >so presumably it was their end.

Odd that it's a problem on only one machine here.
Browser cache? E.g: >https://www.howtogeek.com/661729/how-to-clear-cache-and-cookies-in-chrome/

Different adblocking or cookies settings? eg Ocado won't load at all >(getting itself in an endless redirect loop) if all cookies are blocked.

Set up a second user account on the troublesome PC, and see if that
blank new setup is problematic.
