Font Awesome Icons Behave Like Schrödinger's Cat on Mobile - font-awesome

I'm using Font Awesome 5 Free via a kit. On desktop, the icons work perfectly. But on mobile (iOS chrome (normal and incognito), iOS firefox focus, iOS safari), they behave like Schrödinger's cats...
On first page load, the icons appear. Tap reload and they disappear and are replaced by small squares. Tap reload again and they reappear. Every other tap of reload shows or hides the icons.
I notice the same behavior if I toggle back and forth between "request desktop site" and "request mobile site". (I'm not sure what's really going on under the hood there since the page renders the same either way.)
Since they do appear correctly, at least part of the time, I don't think it's a cross-origin problem or a caching problem.
An example page is here: https://onlinesafetyzone.com/learn/learning-zone.php
I've read many posts, here and on GitHub and none of the solutions has worked. Anyone have a clue what's going on?

It seems you have somekind of a XSS issue. I would try to download the fontawsome resources and deploy them with the application. Can be that they have a CDN problem, every second time the fonts break :| so maybe one of the nodes is flipping.

Website does not render correctly on mobile browser(s) after upload to server

I'm not an expert in web and I composed and updated my website recently. I ran all the test that I could on DreamWeaver CC and tested on multiple mobile devices (tablet, android and iphone); all seems to work fine. Until I uploaded the site to my server, the site start to act weird.
1st problem:
It is a portfolio website with individual pages to corresponding projects. On each project page, the first image on the lightbox has always gone missing; but clicking into the lightbox I can find the missing image (the preview image and the lightbox image share the same source so if the lightbox can find the image it implies that the image is on the server and the path is correct).
2nd problem:
when the browser is shrink below certain size, a toggle menu will replace the content on the header, clicking the toggle menu will show a pop up menu to site links. For some reason, after uploading the site to server, the toggle menu pop up never work.
3rd problem:
The above problem is never apparent on desktop browser(all image shows up correctly; toggle menu works). To make the problem more complicated, I can't confirm if it is device or browser oriented problem. For example, the site works on chrome browser on my iphone and nexus 5(android), but problem occurs on my xperia tablet(android) chrome browser; on my xperia tablet, the site works perfectly on firefox.
Does anybody has any idea what the potential cause to the problem, and perhaps a direction to a solution?
Here's the link to my site: http://www.itsatommy.com
Thank you for your time and look forward to any reply.
Looks fine to me (Google Chrome), you need to use media queries for some certain resolutions. You also need to use some cross browser css tags lide "-webkit, -moz, -o" etc.

Can't click anywhere on my website from iPhone

I have one problem with my web site, if i open the website from any android device, everything is fine and the page work normal. But if i open the web site from my iPhone or any other iPhone (didn't try with other ios devices) i see the webpage, but i can't click anywhere. Can't click on links, button, input fields, images, can't select text or any other content in the page. It's like the page is one big image and can't do nothing there. I try with different browsers (safari, mozilla, chrome) from the iPhone and it's all the same. I don't know what to search exactly... If you need HTML or CSS code i can give you, but i have no idea where to start looking/fixing this problem or what cause it.

elements display incorrectly on tablet browsers

I'm currently working on one of my first two projects and you can tell that I'm still at the beginning of my youtube-tutorials-&-SO-powered learning journey:
our neighbor's skin & beauty spa
Please don't be too harsh on my code :D I've hand-written everything from scratch in a little editor.
In short, everything seems to work A-OK on desktop computers (I tested FF and Chrome), but on the iPad and other tablets I'm experiencing nasty bugs - I'm having major trouble with two issues:
the Google Maps iframe is always visible (overlaps other
sections) on tablets even if the corresponding section isn't clicked
on in the menu, and I have no idea why! It seems that the
visibility:hidden on a position-fixed element isn't interpreted
correctly?
:focus works on the image gallery 'sneak peak', but
in the services section, the 4 sub-content areas are inaccessible.
(Unrelated?) When the page loads on my iPad (mini) the #logo_box
div appears at page load, but turns semi-transparent the very
instant as the map iframe appears.
EFFORT1: I removed the Google maps iframe-containing 'content' container altogether, and suddenly the :hover on the other content sections stopped working as well. This might be an indicator that something is 'linked' in a way that's not right...
EFFORT2: I assumed that the < label> is the culprit, but I can't pinpoint it. I tried this suggested solution, but it's for IOS4 (2011), and as Rob Fletcher commented last Feb., it doesn't work on IOS7.
EFFORT3: I feel that the .content div's {visibility:hidden/visible;} is causing trouble in the android mobile browser: input:checked hides instead of reveals the particular section while all others show.
Btw, how do I friggin' trouble-shoot tablets? I don't have any dev tool on ipad & android browsers.
Help is much appreciated!!
On iPad, you can go into the Settings App, then go Safari -> Advanced -> Web Inspector.
Then plug it into your Mac via USB and open Desktop Safari on the Mac. If you haven't already enabled the Develop menu, go Safari -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Show Develop Menu.
Then when you open a web page in Safari on the iPad, you can connect to it via the Develop menu on your Mac's Safari and use the web inspector.
If you're using Chrome on Android you can use remote debugging https://developer.chrome.com/devtools/docs/remote-debugging
Weinre provides similar functionality across more platforms (including Android native browser), but is a bit more involved to set up.

Google chrome graphical fixes for developers

I am a web developer for a small company and we recently noticed a strange graphical issue with our website that only appears for users using Google chrome on windows 7 and 8.
The graphical issue occurs when our banner images fade in and fade out, all of the content below the navigation UI flashes white.
This issue is resolved if chrome is run in windows 8 mode though not if hardware acceleration is disabled.
Weirdly enough something else that fixes the bug is opening the developer tools window by inspecting an element, very unusual.
Is there any kind of fix I may have to add to the pages CSS similar to styling specifically for Internet Explorer?
Try to move the following script include right down to the bottom of your page, right above the last </body> tag.
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ecogrid.co.uk/js/magentothem/bannersequence/jquery.sequence-min.js"></script>
It works for me, at least in the browser. I think the issue was related to the order of the code and perhaps the conflicting of jquery fade effects in the menu and the sequential slider.
This is non related but... good practice. Whilst your at it you may want to move many other 'render blocking elements' down below the fold as well, this is better for load time optimization. But of course for more info see: https://developers.google.com/speed/docs/insights/BlockingJS

same page links in iphone mobile safari

Mine is something of a newbie question which I'm hoping someone can shed some light on.
I have a table of contents on my page, with titles which link to sections further down the page.
the targets are created like this;
<a name='appendix'>Appendix</a>
and the links are created like this;
<a href='#appendix'>Jump to Appendix</a>
Now when you tap on the link in iphone safari, it takes you straight there no problem. However if you scroll back to the top, to the ToC, and tap the same link again, the browser does nothing.
Looking at the url I can see #appendix on the end and I assume that tapping the link again, the iphone believes its already at that link, since the url already has #whatever on the end.
Normally I'd be happy to leave it that, but the iPad, Android and Blackberry all behave as I'd expect, ie no matter where you are on the page or whether you'd tapped on the same link previously, they jump to the target section.
One thing I'm thinking about trying is embedding the whole page in a frameset so its url never changes, although being a noob I've no idea whether that'll even work.
Has anyone come across this before? Any ideas?
Thanks
This appears to be an issue with iOS not you. If it has been working on all other devices I am afraid there is nothing you can do except report it to Apple. However, has your iPhone been acting crashy lately, and have you tried it on other iPhones?
