CSP Breaking Site
What This Means
This issue occurs when a Content Security Policy (CSP) blocks resources required for your site to function properly.
This may result in broken layouts, missing scripts, or non-functional features.
Common Symptoms
- scripts not loading or executing
- styles not applying correctly
- images or fonts missing
- features or integrations not working
- errors appearing in the browser console
Why This Happens
CSP restricts which sources of content are allowed to load.
If the policy is too strict or incomplete:
- required resources may be blocked
- external services may not load
- inline scripts or styles may be prevented
How to Fix It
Try the following steps:
1. Check Browser Console
- open developer tools
- look for CSP-related errors or warnings
- identify which resources are being blocked
2. Identify Required Sources
- determine which domains or resources are needed
- review any third-party services (analytics, CDNs, integrations)
3. Adjust the Policy
- update the CSP to allow required sources
- avoid overly restrictive rules
- apply changes incrementally
4. Test After Each Change
- reload your site after updating the policy
- verify that functionality is restored
- continue refining as needed
5. Revert if Necessary
If issues persist:
- remove or disable the CSP configuration
- restore normal site behavior
- reapply a simpler policy if needed
What to Expect After Fixing
After resolving the issue:
- blocked resources should load correctly
- site functionality should be restored
- CSP can be refined gradually over time
How to Verify
- reload your site and test all functionality
- confirm that no critical resources are blocked
- review console messages for remaining issues
When to Seek Help
If the issue persists:
- document the blocked resources
- include console error messages
- provide details about your CSP configuration
- contact support with this information
Key Principle
CSP should be applied carefully and refined over time.
Start simple, test thoroughly, and expand only as needed.
