A refresh usually fixes this issue. "In summary, Sometimes when reloading web pages, such as PF or Gmail, the CSS styling may not load due to a server or browser error. This can be fixed by refreshing the page. A separate CSS file is used for complex webpages like PF."

Dear PF.
Sometimes when I reload the PF page for updates, it reloads, I think, basic HTML. This happens also with other pages, like Gmail. Why could that be? Is it a server/browser error?
It only happens sometimes and when I reload the page again it is good.
Thanks.
I.

Means the style CSS wasn't loaded. The file must have been hung up in transit or the browser malfunctioned. A refresh usually fixes it.

A web-page consists of two basic components, the html code and the CSS. The CSS is the styling. In very simple amateur websites, the styling is all done in HTML without CSS. When pages become extremely complicated like PF, you begin to use a separate CSS file which the HTML needs to load from a server. It's good practice o have a separate CSS file, and basically every webpage has it.

The CSS file might not have been loaded.
