I am making a website and for some odd reason the site does not load up properly. Parts of it have been removed and the older version shows. Also, the images and the .js/.css does not load up properly? How do i get it to show up properly?

Given the symptoms reported by and the URL posted by — plus @<M/>’s note about a second scrollbar — the problem most often falls into two categories: the server (or CDN) is serving stale/wrong files (wrong document root, DNS pointing to an old host, or a caching layer), or the browser is blocking or failing to fetch assets (wrong paths, case-sensitivity, mixed‑content/CORS, or MIME/permissions issues). The visible “old version” plus missing images/CSS/JS strongly suggests first checking what the browser actually requested and what the server returned rather than guessing at markup changes.

Quick, repeatable diagnostic workflow:

  1. Open DevTools → Network, check “Disable cache”, reload and watch status codes and Console for “Mixed Content”, CORS, 404, 403, or 500 errors.

  2. Inspect a problematic asset with curl to see headers and body:

    curl -I https://yourdomain.com/path/to/style.css

    Look for a 200/Content-Type: text/css; if the response is HTML or a redirect, a rewrite or CDN/origin mismatch is likely. Use curl -L to follow redirects and curl https://.../file.css to view body.

  3. Confirm paths and filename case (Linux hosts are case-sensitive). Check file permissions (files 644, directories 755) and ownership so the webserver can read them.

  4. If a CDN or proxy (Cloudflare, Varnish, host cache) is used, purge/invalidate cache or append a cache-busting query (?v=20260219) to force a fresh fetch.

Practical fixes and cautions: serve assets over HTTPS when the page is HTTPS, use absolute-root paths (/assets/css/styles.css) or properly formed relative paths, and ensure correct MIME types for .css and .js. Example link/script pattern:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/assets/css/styles.css">
<script src="/assets/js/app.js" defer></script>

If an iframe is involved (as @<M/> suspected), verify X-Frame-Options and Content-Security-Policy headers and check whether a proxy or rewrite is embedding an older snapshot. Flushing server/CDN caches and checking network/console traces almost always reveals the root cause.

I somewhat get your issue? You are basically making a site and the problem with that site is that the site's elements don't show up? Well, either i am wrong or not on what i just read and how i interpreted it, can you at least provide us a link to where your site is so that we can see what you are seeing?

Also, make sure your files within your directory are properly placed and make sure your code itself points directly at the files within your directory (sorry if that sounded weird, i am typing this message on my phone)

Sorry, i had to make a new acc to write a new message (i am the same person). I used the wrong email (i put yahoo instead of gmail), but the link to my site is this

idk if it is just me but aside from the fact that the site appears to be a mockup of another site, i believe you have an iframe somewhere (based on the 2nd scroll bar that i see)

Hmm, i also see that your site has some awkward coding in some places. Also, try switching your file name to something else and see if the content shows up. Also, clear your cache and all that fun stuff to check if your site is properly running.
