[BUG] Readme is often hidden

[zdu-strong]

Readme is often hidden.
You can access any npm package, which will have a chance to trigger. For example: https://www.npmjs.com/package/rxjs
Actually it has reademe file.

This happens a lot on when browsing on my mobile device when checking for my NPM packages that have a README without any known cause clearly identified. Sometimes it just does not show the documentation at all without the warrning about the package not having any documentation yet.

Could you check using Google Chrome incognito mode? It looks like it always displays the readme in incognito mode, which would point to a browser cookie issue (or similar).

[zdu-strong]

Yes, using incognito mode is showing the readme. But the bug still needs to be solved. What do you think?

It's good to know that you get the same results. This bug should definitely be addressed. Who can fix it?

I guess it is a caching issue. At the moment I can't reproduce it. The next time it happens I will try Shift + F5 in Google Chrome for "Reload the current page, ignoring cached content".

[MikeMcC399]

It seems to be a refresh / caching issue. When I click on the Readme tab nothing reloads, however a simple F5 displays the README contents. This however does not always work. Sometimes I need Shift + F5 to get the README to display.

Unfortunately, the readme is hidden again

I had the same experience today, so I will reply to npm support that they need to look into the issue.

[MikeMcC399]

There was possibly an issue with Cloudflare CDN. I can regularly see the Readme now.

Good news, the bug is not reproduced.
I think it has been fixed.

The bug seems to have re-appeared! It happened to me with CanvasJS angular stockcharts package (https://www.npmjs.com/package/@canvasjs/angular-stockcharts)

I'm having the same issue with https://www.npmjs.com/package/tiktok-tts it is intermittently showing the readme.md

There seems to be another error with the npm registry at this time.
https://www.npmjs.com/package/@canvasjs/angular-stockcharts?activeTab=versions then clicking on https://www.npmjs.com/package/@canvasjs/angular-stockcharts/v/1.0.3 was giving "error loading page"

I tried with another package and got the same error.
