Windows 10: Can't go to certain Websites

Hello

When I go to certain websites, it says that the page is not responding, but when I go to the website on my phone it works. One of the websites is GameStop, and even that, I can't access the website on my computer, but I can on my phone. Most of the websites I go to works fines, but only a certain few don't let me. I'm just confused as to why this is happening?
