Questions & Answers about Если страница не загружается, попробуй обновить её.

Why is the sentence introduced by если?

Если means if. It introduces a condition:

• Если страница не загружается = If the page isn’t loading
• попробуй обновить её = try refreshing it

This is a very common Russian pattern: Если X, (то) Y = If X, then Y.
In everyday speech, то is often omitted, as it is here.

Why is there a comma after загружается?

Russian normally puts a comma between the if-clause and the main clause:

• Если страница не загружается, попробуй обновить её.

This is required by standard Russian punctuation.
Even though English sometimes feels lighter with commas, in Russian this comma is expected.

What does страница mean, and why does it have that ending?

Страница means page. It is a feminine noun, which you can tell from the -а ending in its dictionary form.

Here it is in the nominative singular, because it is the subject of the verb:

• страница не загружается = the page is not loading

Because страница is feminine, later the pronoun referring back to it is also feminine: её = it / her.
