This issue seems browser-related. Here are quick steps to troubleshoot:
Disable Browser Extensions: Some extensions may block Shopify scripts.
Try Incognito/Private Mode: This disables extensions and cached data.
Update Browsers: Ensure both Firefox and Chrome are fully updated.
Test Another Device/Network: Check if the issue is device or network-specific.
Check Console Errors: Open DevTools (F12) > Console for rendering errors.
if it persists, you may need to share your store URL, so I can better accommodate you with a solution, it might be a incorrect linking or customization issue.
I disagree - when a website is broken in every common browser, that’s a problem with the website, not the browser
I already tried all 5 of those things you mention, I even tried Edge, and Safari on iPhone, no effect. (I will attach the network panel logs but I don’t see anything worrisome there either.)
I just registered this new account, I don’t even know what my store URL might be - as far as I know, I haven’t been given the opportunity to set it up yet. This is a real discouraging first experience with Shopify.
I tried going through contacting their support and I got the exact same list of troubleshooting suggestions from the ai chatbot and the supposedly real person. no luck. It’s kinda crazy how bad of a showing this is for such a big product, it’s really making me wonder whether I should take on shopify work in the future.
