I recently deployed my create-react-app to netlify. Here is the domain https://lagos-labs.netlify.app.
Everything works well including the navigation. The issue now is when i change the domain name to a custom domain https://lagoslabs.dev , Navigating from one page to another causes a full application reload. I don’t know what the issue could be as i have tried to debug locally and also from my domain provider clouldlfare but everything seems to have been done correctly. Would appreciate any help i can get. I have added a netlify.toml file with
[[redirects]]
from = “/*”
to = “/index.html”
status = 200
force = true
but issue still persists
@cocofemi What precisely do you mean by “a full application reload”?
Is it something you can demonstrate?
I tested your site expecting to see requests for pages hitting Netlify and the entire page reloading, but that’s not what I experienced.
Your site seemed to work in an SPA fashion where the page change between items in the primary menu were simulated and only additional assets loaded.
Apologies if i worded things wrongly. What i meant was in true SPA fashion when navigating to a new page the application shouldn’t reload/refresh (the tab shouldn’t refresh) but rather navigate to the route intended. If you notice the custom domain has this issue. For instance when navigating from the home to the about us page or any other page. This doesn’t happen when you visit the domain provided by netlify.
Thanks i hope i am clearer now
@cocofemi You didn’t word it incorrectly, I was just ensuring we were referring to the same behavior.
What you’ve described is precisely what I was looking for.
I did not, (and still do not), see it occurring.
I only checked on your custom domain, (I never even looked at the Netlify site).
Instead of looking at only the browser tab/viewport I also watched the network tab for page requests.
I don’t see any additional page requests, only the initial one.
A dead giveaway that page changes are happening “in app” is that navigating to the ‘Pricing page’ does not change the title in the browser tab:
Thanks for your replies had to fix the issue locally. Had nothing to do with netlify.
