 * My website works fine and fast with W3, only after a while it breaks my frontpage
   on mobile (I only see the toggle menu open and the frontpage design broken). 
   If I purge all caches the problem seems to be solved until the next day.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fbroken-frontpage%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Hello [@caersbart](https://wordpress.org/support/users/caersbart/)
 * Thank you for reaching out.
    I’ve checked your website on both desktop and mobile
   and I am not seeing the issue. It would be great if I could see the website once
   the problem occurs. I’ve noticed that you are also using varnish cache. Is the
   Reverse Proxy enabled in Performance>General settings or you are using some other
   method? Thanks!

 * Hello [@vmarko](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vmarko/),
 * thanks for the fast reply. I’ve purched the caches this morning and then the 
   problem is gone. Probably tomorrow after the renewal the problem will occur again.
   I will give you notice when the problem is coming up again.
 * The reverse proxy is enabled (altough I also have the proxy cache plugin witch
   state: Plugin: W3-total-cache : This type of caching plugin does not work well
   with server side caching. (Active)) But I guess this is not related to my problem?

 * Hello [@caersbart](https://wordpress.org/support/users/caersbart/)
 * Thank you for the information.
    Can you please share if you have server-side 
   caching enabled and which plugin you are using for proxy? Please let me know 
   when the issue occurs again so I can take a look. Thanks!

 * Hello [@vmarko](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vmarko/),
 * As I tought the problem is back after 24h, I didn’t purched the caches so you
   could see the brake-down (it’s only the frontpage, mobile and desktop).
 * I use the proxy cache plugin and have Varnish and Redis installed on my server.
 * When I will purche all my caches the problem will be away for 24h

 * Hello [@caersbart](https://wordpress.org/support/users/caersbart/)
 * Thank you for the information.
    I’ve checked your website and I can confirm that
   I am seeing the issue you are referring to. I’ve inspected the source and as 
   I can see a bunch of 500 failed to load errors that are related to the styling
   of the website. I’ve tried bypassing the page cache by adding the random query
   string to the URL [https://www.caersbart.be/?asdf](https://www.caersbart.be/?asdf)
   and the website loads fine, so it appears that the page was cached at some point
   without styling. And just now I saw that the website loads fine without the query
   string so may I assume that you purged the cache? Is it possible just to try 
   purging the cache in the Proxy cache plugin you are using? Thanks!

 * [@vmarko](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vmarko/), I’ve got a lot of net::
   ERR_ABORTED 500 cache errors
    I didn’t purched but removed some clutter from 
   the .htaccess and the website seems to be fine again, no idea if that did the
   trick. I will follow it up.
 * Weird is goes fine and than after 24h the style is broken, only the front page.
 * I appreciate your help, thanks

 * The problem seems to be resolved
    I removed this code in the .htaccess in the
   themes folder. Don’t now how it got there but I guess it’s harmless to delete
   it. My site doesn’t brake down any more and the CWV en speed seems oke.

 * Hello [@caersbart](https://wordpress.org/support/users/caersbart/)
 * Thank you for the information.
    These are either some custom rules added or by
   some other plugin. SInce W3TC is also adding these rules there is a chance that
   there was a conflict. Thank you for sharing the information.
