Front page broken?

[Dr.Kamiya]

Looks like it's missing a stylesheet or trying to load the mobile site and failing...

 

[Mawich]

I'm in the UK so I can't see the Imgur screenshot you provided but I'm getting what sounds like the same thing. Most odd.

 

[invertedpanda]

Workin' fine for me.

 

[Wrathian]

I have the same issue on my windows 11 machine with chrome/edge (updated to latest, cleared history/cookies),
but my windows 10 machine works fine.
Only started having this issue today.

I have no issues on a Windows 10 or 11 machine in Edge or Chrome. Chrome in both cases is all standard with no extensions installed. But that screenshot looks to me like something is blocking an element in the page?

 

[TheNewShiny]

Same here on Firefox Win 11. I see a bunch of errors on the Console (F12 on Firefox), but I can’t post a screenshot because the response box is broken. Works on mobile though.

Usually this means you're having trouble connecting to our CDN, we'll look into it.

 

[jmarlin]

Sometimes when deployments happen, one or more of the global CDN nodes doesn't get a file in time. Let me try purging and see if that fixes things.

 

[TheNewShiny]

FWIW this is what I’m seeing on the desktop in the console.

 

[macosandlinux]

Same here, FF and Edge, started with content missing some pictures 12 hours ago, now I just get same as first poster.

FF debugger | Layout was forced before the page was fully loaded. If stylesheets are not yet loaded this may cause a flash of unstyled content.

 

[TheNewShiny]

Back to normal for me.

Is everyone else good now?

Everything is still totally borked here in Australia, using Firefox, Chrome or Edge. Even this forum doesn't look right...

 

[zoltan_merc]

No, I am not good now. I am in Australia. A few hours ago, I noticed that articles were missing their pictures: the captions were present, and there was space for a picture, but it was all black. Then about an hour ago, I started getting the same crap non-layout that Dr Kamiya's original post was showing. This happens on all my browsers (Firefox, Librewolf and Chromium, all on Linux). The problem still exists,
at least for me.

 

[mkjellman]

totally broken for me in multiple browsers

 

[BruceLGL]

Everything is broken for me, also Austraila.

Another Aussie checking in to say "nah, still stuffed here mate"

It's still broken for me (Thailand).

 

[BruceLGL]

Seem to be working our way across timezones as people wake up...
Just for clarification, I have not had any other internet issues today, so it isn't like AU has a systemic problem, which would be entirely plausible and sadly common.

 

[CluelessOne]

Android Firefox still broken front page right now, Bangkok Time Zone. Even forum likes icon reaction is not shown.

 

[Nazonohito]

Borked here in JP as well.
(Edit to add: Win 10 and Chrome.)

 

[TheNewShiny]

Is everyone else good now?

In summary: no

 

[darkowl]

Yup, Australia is stuffed. Seems to be the CDN is returning 403s for most things.

 

[drogin]

Anyone have a link to the front page? I want to help, but not sure how...

 

[zogus]

Still broken in Japan as of 9:44 JST (0:44 GMT).

 

[TheNewShiny]

Interestingly mine went back to broken on Firefox Win11, but on Edge things are fine. Very odd.

OK if story images are broken, that indicates a bigger issue. Can someone that's affected please DM me results from this URL:
https://cdn.arstechnica.net/CacheFlyDebug

Sounds to me like a node in Oceana is having some problems.

 

[jmarlin]

I should add that if you haven't please try a hard refresh in your browser. Sometimes bad codes can get cached.

 

[jmarlin]

I was able to replicate the issue by VPN from Thailand (but not Aus or Japan), so I've sent it along to our good friends at Cachefly - hopefully they'll kick some servers and get us back to normal. Thanks all for the reports.
