I made another revision of my homepage. Unfortunately, after uploading all changed files to the server, the published page is very different from the preview. Where is the mistake?
WBS:
https://wasowscy.net/wasowscy.net.wbs
changed page:
https://wasowscy.net/index.html
print-screens:
https://wasowscy.net/images/Temp/i_preview.jpg
https://wasowscy.net/images/Temp/i_published.jpg

Are you sure you uploaded all the files? There is no difference between preview and publish. If there is it means a file is missing from the server.

I sorted all local files by modification time and only uploaded the ones that were modified to the server. All files appear the same.

Why do I see differences in the online version?

Did you upload new or changed files in subdirectories?

It looks either like a CSS or JS thing to me. Make sure all CSS and JS files are uploaded even if they don't show modified.

I copied all files again. I even compared the contents with the directory ../AppData/Local/Temp/preview/ where files for preview are loaded by default.
Still the same. See:
https://wasowscy.net/images/Temp/i_published.jpg

If its any help - when I had a problem I uploaded the whole website again (not just the changed pages) and that solved the problem.

Whatever files it is looking for/missing are found when uploading the complete site.

Worth a try.

Also worth checking in a different web browser in case its a cache thing ............

For me, the website looks like this:
https://wasowscy.net/images/Temp/i_preview.jpg

However, the website is very slow. I think this is because of the large images.
Also, you have added us custom scripts, this may also afdfetc the performance and behavior of the page.

I see the same thing as Pablo. Looks correct to me. Do a hard refresh of the browser (control F5) to make sure it's not a cache problem

Thank You, Pablo for Your promt reply.
On my 3 browsers, the page still looks bad despite having a hard page refresh. Why do I see it like that? Besides, I resized the photos to 300x225px (about 20-30k each) and tested the page with GTMetrix: got 2x 'Analysis Error, Lighthouse Error: The page took too long to load (No CPU idle period)'.
I only put in the built-in WWB17 add-on 'Slide Show', type: Conveyer belt 'with 32 photos instead of simply one picture. Apparently it's too much. Should I give it up? After all, the website is very simple ...

Hi Pablo,
I have a puzzle for you related to this topic:
I cloned a malfunctioning page, named it 'index2.html' and copied it to the server. Everything works on my PCs and GTMetrix tests look pretty good.
See here: https://wasowscy.net/images/Temp/GTM_index2.jpg
Why?

Maybe this page does not have the custom code?

It's clone done by WWB17! I do nothing more. So? How it's possible?
Please check my wbs, meantime I will try to compare the html and css codes line by line. I am really curious why this is happening, because it is not the first time. I have many sub-pages, which are clones. Sometimes the cloned page behaves strangely.

For me, there is no difference. It already worked before the page was cloned.
I doubt tat this has anything to do with cloning the page.
I still think this is a cache related issue.

Not for the first time, it turned out that the reason for the differences I saw was the server cache. On the second day, even though I didn't modify anything , the visibility of the page was the same as in the preview.
Pls close topic as solved.

Just an idea, if you think you have this issue, try opening the web page in another browser. I often find this works for me.
