I finally figured out what is breaking the website on desktop and mobile safari - private relay

Safari has a great feature that helps hide your IP address from website to reduce tracking.
Similar to javascript and content blockers, it seems on more rare occasions to break site functionality.
On ND's website it prevents the page from fully loading way too often (mainly on mobile but also on desktop) and often prevents the nav bar icons from showing up and worst, it prevents the quantity buttons from loading, making adding to cart impossible.
Unfortunately, unlike content blockers, you cannot exclude a single website from this feature.
Can ND please have the web devs look into this and see if they can fix the problem. I don't want to turn off this feature that protects me on other sites, but it's a pain in the butt to turn it off every time i want to use ND's site.
Thanks

I believe it is (or it prompts you to turn it on which cause many to do so, I can’t recall)

Another thing I have noticed is that it sometimes takes a long time to load on mobile networks. However, if you connect to WiFi it speeds up. I was thinking it might be some weird CDN issue with certain mobile networks.
