Wordpress Site Is Blank - Only Links Showing For Homepage - wordpress

Just an FYI, I'm an amateur blogger who doesn't know much about coding.
I've been facing a problem recently and I don't know what to do.
My website homepage shows up blank, with just links (http://shlokamariwala.com/)
I've tried to check for any errors in my backend but all seems to be working fine!
I've also uninstalled all plugins to check, but that didn't make a difference.
Please let me know how to go about this! I'm happy to provide any specific additional information needed. Also, since I'm not very well versed in coding, I apologise for my use of lay-man terms in advance!

If I get to your website, most content is not coming from your domain, but is loaded from https://secureservercdn.net/50.62.198.97/qxw.3db.myftpupload.com/.
Also your own site is not using SSL (https), but insecure http.
Many browsers and most anti spamer browser plugins like privacy badger or uBlock Origin will refuse to load this.
Another point may be that you are using canvas data, but also this is blocked by default in modern browsers.
Maybe take a look in the wordpress server site settings and check your servername.

Mixed content issue even after deleting that content

My coding knowledge is super basic but Hostinger's support sent me to this platform to hopefully find a solution.
Situation: I have successfully installed the SSL certificate but I keep losing the padlock because of mixed content. I checked Whynopadlock for the issues, it gave me two images as 'soft failures'. I deleted those from my Wordpress library. I've installed Really Simple SSL, Force SSL and tried Search & Replace. I've changed the url in Elementor but I keep getting these errors.
Please, can someone help me, with some clear info as my coding knowledge is limited to making some minor changes in css.
Thanks so much in advance!
In your homepage, there are 3 images that are still loading under http instead of https. These images are:

All these images appear to load from lazysizes.js. The easiest way would be to delete these photos from the media library and upload them again. Otherwise, you can either check your setting in the lazysizes plugin or search and replace the urls from within the database.

Previewing Website Prior To DNS Propogation

I'm doing marketing for a client.
I'm helping them move their WordPress site from one host to another (from ventraip to siteground). Their domain is also currently with ventraip. I've already set up hosting with siteground (haven't cancelled ventraip just yet).
The question being, is there a way to make adjustments and preview the website on siteground before pointing the nameservers/changing DNS? I've seen a few tutorials but they are for other hosting companies and there is nothing I can see in siteground's knowledge base.
If anyone knows a general format or a better way, would love to hear your input. Thanks!
I think a nice solution would be to modify your local hosts file in order to preview your website using the current URL (which only on your machine will point to the new hsoting).
You can follow this guide by Kinsta, which works for every hosting: https://kinsta.com/knowledgebase/edit-hosts-file/
This is what I do and I am pretty sure it works :)
Here is also a tutorial specific to SiteGround which uses a temporary url: https://iamnickdavis.com/temporary-url-siteground-migration/ but I never tested it.
Hope it helps, cheers!

wordpress menu includes different domain randomly

I'm using Wordpress 4.9.1–en_GB, and have a live site which has been up and live for some months without issue.
48 hours ago it suddenly (or rather I noticed suddenly) started displaying some pages as unformatted (no css) lists of links and text. The links on those pages were to another domain which directed to my site, but which has never been part of my site, and for which there is no direction within the site.
Loading and saving that one page fixed it on that page, and another page which was exhibiting the issue.
I redirected the external domain so that it would not point to my website.
Today it has exhibited the same behaviour, but with a subdomain which points to my site, but which again is not in use. Again saving the page without making any edits 'fixed' the behaviour.
I'm not asking for a fix - but whether anyone has ever experienced a similar problem, or has a pointer towards where to look, and will report back what I find, in the hope it helps someone else if it ever occurs to them.
I didn't originally build the site - it has a load of plugins, not all active and disabling and removing plugins is definitely an option - but not a great one, since the problem is not predictable, so I have no firm way of knowing whether my actions have fixed the issue, and in the meantime my commercial site will not be functioning as desired (which I appreciate is occasionally the case anyway it would seem).
It sits in Amazon EC2.
sorry for the lack of precision, but I am truly stumped.
this sounds like your website may have been breached. to address the conflict of web pages not formatting is usually the ssl not being installed correctly on the server. but if you have a lot of plugins installed it's a huge security issue and the plugins may be causing the domain issue
the plugins may be causing a conflict within each other I would recommend removing the plugins that generally don't get used.
deactivate the plugins in use and reactivate them.
use word fence security plugin to run to a scan on your website.
when I had this problem it was because the ssl was not installed on my server correctly if not that, a breach may be the cause. I hope this helps.
If the issue started within that time frame as stated that makes me more confident that this is an ssl issue. Sometimes an ssl doesn’t install correctly on a server this can cause a conflict with how the layout in css and HTML is affected. this is common in some cases, while it’s happening with the current theme your using, some WordPress themes can bypass the ssl error, I would recommend getting a new ssl from let’s encrypt and removing the one that was auto renewed through let’s encrypt. This could simply fix the problem. If not feel free to share your findings on the issue.

This page is insecure (broken HTTPS) on my Tumblr Blog

Immature CSS coder here, basically only know how to deal with CSS on tumblr blogs. A novel problem, when I finished editing this blog, it returns that this page is insecure (broken HTTPS), and fails to load up any of the scripts I can, including pop up links. These pop ups don't redirect to any other site than the blog itself, so the fact it's failing to show the popups is problematic.
I looked into it and this was perhaps the error it is returning that makes it insecure:
global.build.js?_v=06d02b5…:25 GET https://fc.yahoo.com/sdarla/php/client.php?f=1197719150 net::ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT
But I have no way to access this site or anything related, and not sure how I am able to fix this through it.
If it helps, here's the code for the blog: http://pastebin.com/8wz9XWKB
Go into your blog settings and ensure this is disabled.
Tumblr has recently made it so that all new blogs automatically have this option enabled, which is rather silly considering even they say:
"Try it, and if it makes your Tumblr look funny, just come back and
disable it."

Site only refreshes when adding www. to URL

First time posting so please bear with me.
I'm the unofficial web guy at the company I work for and I helped create our basic static HTML site.
Any work that I do to the site offline and then FTP shows up instantly on my machine. I rarely, if ever, need to clear the cache for changes to show up. However, within the company I work for, nearly half of the users never see the updates. Some do, some don't.
On the machines that don't I've cleared the cache in browser and through the internet control panel settings. Nothing. Still shows the stale content. The only thing that works - and I've seen this both in Chrome and IE is that when I add www in front of the URL is then shows the refreshed site. No big deal, right? Well for users who type in mysite.com without the in front will not see the updates. People who have favorited it like that, will not see the updates.
Now, on to what I've tried to fix it. After much research many people have steered me away from meta tag refresh so I haven't tried that, however, with the help of the IT guy we have, from what we can tell, set the HTTP header of the site to always refresh. This did not do anything for us.
I've tried changing image names in the HTML page when updating a photo and that didn't work either.
I haven't been able to find a .htaccess file so can I create one? If we (IT guy and I) changed the HTTP Header setting to always refresh but there is not .htaccess file will there be no change?
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I have searched on here for the answer and the two most suggested changes are HTTP Header and Meta refresh. HTTP header didn't help and it seems the Meta tag route is bad form.
This is a DNS issue. You need to ask the provider of your web services to add an A or a CNAME record for the domain's root.
If you don't understand the above, just call the provider of your web presence (the company that hosts your web server) and tell them you want yourdomain.com and www.yourdomain.com to go to the same place.
