- Some assets are not visible in the uploads bucket
- some assets are trying to load in the backups bucket
- obvious numerous erorrs in console i.e. The resource at “https://discourse-cdn.repealobbba.org/stylesheets/common_theme_6_1f8270be80babb5906f2dfb4fa157b7d9f9d12f8.css?__ws=discuss.repealobbba.org” was blocked by OpaqueResponseBlocking. Reason: “after sniff: status code is not in allowed range”.

CDN checker looks more like a desirable result
All in all progress but some tips from the Discourse infrastructure team would be very helpful.
