It redirected to a url on same domain , pic8.co and THAT failed in SSL
EDIT : BOTH sites use "Let's Encrypt R3"
I have no idea why one is failing and the other not.
If both domains are causing problems, the problem might be on your browser's side.
both failing url domains are the same same domain, pic8.co
catbox.moe works fine
If pic8.co does THREE HTTPS REDIRECT HOPS is will fail in all apple products, as a overly strict infinite loop check by apple.
I did not trace how many web hops pic8 is doing but I see at least one with my eyes
the ONLY single difference I see if that pic8 uses new "Curve X25519" and the world outside google products still uses and promotes ECDH P-384 curve

the commands i used to study chain :
openssl s_client -showcerts -connect pic8.co:443
vs
openssl s_client -showcerts -connect catbox.moe:443
both results almost identical technologies but one (pic8.co) is using "Curve X25519" vs ...
Server Temp Key: ECDH, P-384, 384 bits
pic8 does only one redirect once it selected the best host (based on availability and speed)
Check out https://pic8.co/about to understand how it works.
