I have never used the website in question and I would avoid it even if it was working.
You should never use online websites for generating a bitcoin address.

If you want to have a bech32 bitcoin address, install a trustworthy open source wallet like electrum or Sparrow and create a wallet. In this way, you can have multiple addresses all generated from a seed phrase.
For more security, It's recommended to generate your wallet offline on an air-gapped device.
I have Electrum.

But can you tell me:

Can you tell me:
- if you also get a suspicious site and what website?
- if my device is now compromised by hackers?
- it's normal link re-direction / why does it happen?
- why can it be allowed for internet to put up such suspiciuos websites, it's not regulated, we have 2024!?
