Front page broken?

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.
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.

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.
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.

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

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.

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

Yup, Australia is stuffed. Seems to be the CDN is returning 403s for most things.
Anyone have a link to the front page? I want to help, but not sure how...
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.
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.
Well, I tried, but the DM page was broken for me and there was no field in which to paste the result. Oddly, this was the only issue with the forum I've seen. The front page was busted for me as well.
But just now it all seems to be working properly.
Front page and articles are working for me now, but forum reply area is still messed up.
I have a feeling that if I do a hard refresh now it could do the opposite and bork things instead. I'll just test things on my secondary browsers.
Right now, the forum looks perfectly fine in my main browser (Firefox) but not in Vivaldi and MS Edge. I suspect it's because Firefox still has some of the assets cached but Vivaldi and Edge doesn't have them.
Nevertheless, I can confirm alongside some other posters here that the front page mostly works now, though not completely:
It looks like we needed to update our rate limiting whitelist for their reverse proxy from a new (to us) ip range. If that's the only issue, it should be resolved soon.
