[Support request] Deleting Style Guide Page Caused My Site To Have Loading Problems

[Derek]

I recently was deleting pages from the Search theme in an attempt to minimize my site size while increasing load speeds. I accidentally deleted the style guide page permanently, and now my header briefly shifts vertically whenever I navigate my website (clicking through the home, about, services, and contact in the header causes the entire page to briefly shift vertically when loading.)

You can test this yourself by visiting my website: copysurge.com. It’s very apparent if you just click back and forth between the header links.

I have a few questions:

Am I right in my assumption that this theme references the style guide page somehow when loading, and my deleting the page is now resulting in load issues?

Is there any way to quickly resolve this issue by somehow re-adding the page to my site?

The page was permanently deleted so it’s not in the trash folder. I feel very dumb for not making a backup before tinkering like this. Any help is greatly appreciated because I was pretty much finished with my site before this happened.

Thanks!

Nevermind, I restored a backup of my site using Plesk and that seems to have solved the issue. If anyone else runs into this problem, there is your fix.

Hi there,

glad to hear you found a solution.
Little confused as deleting a single page should not have cuased any loading problems.

If you continue to see similar issues, ask your host to enable debugging and check your error logs.
