Describe the bug

When i m navigating through the browser url, i have navigation issues only on deployed application (on localhost, i didn't observe this behaviour). Either a different page is showing than the one asked, either the home page is not fully loaded. Otherwise, when i navigate through links on the website, i do not observe issues. It appears on v1.6.2 and still do on v1.6.3.

Got this homepage:

Expected this homepage:
https://github.com/alxg0v1/images/blob/main/homepage_ok.png

Got this content:

Expected this content:

Reproduction

On a deployed v1.6.2 or v1.6.3 vitepress app, enter directly the url of your vitepress homepage on your browser, the homepage loads the header only. try to enter a working path of your vitepress on you browser url bar, it could not be the asked page.

Expected behavior

When i enter, the URL homepage of my vitepress, i expect the page to be the good one et to be fully loaded.

Check your browser console. Most likely there will be hydration issues. You check them locally too - by running vitepress build docs && vitepress preview docs. To enable debugging, DEBUG=true vitepress build docs && vitepress preview docs. If the issues are not happening locally and only on deployed version then there might be some issue at your hosting like maybe auto minify for html is enabled or your site is using cleanUrls but it's not configure in your server settings.

Regarding errors on the build, they are from accessing window somewhere. (https://vitepress.dev/guide/ssr-compat)

It's hard to precisely tell what's wrong since this is a closed site.

Also on https://docs.treezor.com/guide/overview/getting-started.html, the SSR is completely broken. The HTML just have <div id="app"></div> so you might be doing something weird. And if I remove .html from URL then the html comments are being stripped. So auto-minify is also enabled somewhere.

When generating static files, window object is not existing. You can try codes like this:

import { inBrowser } from 'vitepress';

if (inBrowser) {
    // Code you want to run only in browser
}

P.S. The Boolean value inBrowser can only be used in vitepress.
