Something is wrong when accessing indiehackers.com domain directly

I get reirected to https://www.indiehackers.com/?nocache=158188566843 and random quote is displayed and it stays there.
When i access via /interview i get full page.
It happens in incognito mode too (where i have no interfering addons)
my env is Chrome on windows.

Same for https://www.indiehackers.com/group/meta (accessed directly from url bar)

    Hmm, that redirect should only happen if your browser fails to load the website's JavaScript. It may be related to a change I made recently, but I can't figure out why it's happening, since it isn't happening to me or anyone else on the IH team.

    Do you know how to open your JavaScript console? If so, are you getting an error in your JavaScript console when you visit the homepage? What about after you get redirected?

    Also, does this alternative URL work for you? https://ihproduction.onrender.com

      It works now. From yesterday i remember that i just glanced over and there were 404 errors in console for .css files (not sure about .js, maybe i overlooked one).

      Maybe it was some kind of CDN temporary failure?

      Anyway its all working now (both on my standard chrome and in incognito).

        I was able to figure out what was going on and pushed a fix, although upon further investigation my fix might require another fix. Thanks for reporting the issue!
