Magento – Magento 1.9 checkout stuck on shipping methods

I am having a problem with Magento 1.9 one page checkout- it gets stuck on shipping options. The shipping is set up as flat.
When trying to checkout it gets stuck on shipping methods- no error just not going further.
I have opened the console and got the error Failed to load resource: net::ERR_CACHE_MISS

the log says this
