No, must be your connection. The website is working

Indeed, it’s fine with Firefox.

In Chrome, deleted “Cached images and files”, reloaded: Solved.

Thank you.

Same problem here!

It is just you. I’m sorry for that.

Works normal for me, and has done so multiple times yesterday and today.

If it happens again, please clear your browser cache.

The reason it happens is due to a combination of load balancing and cache expiry bug. We are aware of the cause and will hopefully have it permanently fixed in a few days.

Had the same bug yesterday which affected both the map and the blogs. Clearing cache didn’t work for me. It’s been fixed today since, though.

It happened to me here.

What I found strange is the I have two browsers, and the Chrome browser, which I almost never use, it is only for the very rare occasions my main browser fails, also did this weird rendering, and I was never been on OSM before, using Chrome!

Hard reloads didn’t solve the issue on any browser, but going to the browser’s settings and depleting the cache seemed it managed to fix it.

Is this a Browser Bug?

No. Load balancing bug during deployment. During deployments, a server which hasn’t yet been updated can be used, then due to this bug the 404 would be cached for a long period.

Mostly fixed now.

Note date in post above - this problem is now fixed

Also, post above confirms what bug was real (sometimes such bugs do not affect everyone anyway)
