Hosts that block an IPv6-only load
These hosts publish an IPv4 address but no AAAA record. Over an IPv6-only connection the browser cannot fetch anything they serve.
- www.bbc.com — the page itself, link rel=preconnect, <style> url()
- gn-web-assets.api.bbc.com — <script src>

An IPv6-only route cannot reach this site. Use residential IPv4.
How this was measured
The IPv6 test loaded https://www.bbc.com/ once on November 6, 2026, read every host the returned HTML asks a browser to fetch, and looked up AAAA and A records for each. Hosts added later by JavaScript are not counted, and other pages on the site can depend on different hosts. Results change as sites move providers.
