Describe the Bug

Description

The Ionic documentation site (https://ionicframework.com/docs) fails to load correctly from Central Europe.
Both Chrome and Firefox show the page without CSS — completely unstyled.

Details

The main stylesheet returns a HTTP 429 Too Many Requests error:

GET https://ionicframework.com/docs/assets/css/styles.a497ac55.css [HTTP/2 429]

Additionally, the cookie consent script fails with 404:

GET https://cdn.cookielaw.org/consent/…/OtAutoBlock.js [HTTP/2 404]

This issue persists for about a week.
Interestingly, the site works fine when accessed via VPN (e.g., Opera VPN), suggesting regional CDN blocking by Cloudflare.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Visit https://ionicframework.com/docs from a Central European IP (e.g. Hungary)
  2. Observe that the page loads without CSS

Expected behavior

The documentation site should load normally with proper styling regardless of region.

Environment

  • Location: Central Europe (Hungary)
  • Browsers tested: Chrome, Firefox, Edge
  • OS: Windows 11
  • Works with VPN: ✅ Yes

Expected Behavior

The documentation site should load properly with full styling (CSS applied), not as an unstyled broken HTML page.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open https://ionicframework.com/docs in Chrome or Firefox.
  2. Access the page from a Central European IP (for example, Hungary).
  3. Observe that the page loads without any CSS styling.
  4. (Optional) Enable a VPN (e.g. Opera VPN) and reload — the site then loads correctly.
