If your new homepage isn’t showing up as expected, there could be several reasons for this issue. Here are some common troubleshooting steps to help you identify and resolve the issue:

1. Clear Browser Cache:
   • Sometimes, browsers cache web pages to load them faster. Clear your browser cache and try reloading the page to ensure you are viewing the latest version.
2. Check File Names and Paths:
   • Confirm that the new homepage file has the correct name (e.g., index.html, home.html) and is placed in the correct directory. Verify the file path to ensure it matches the URL you are trying to access.
3. Check Server Configuration:
   • Ensure that the server is configured to recognize the new homepage file. For example, in Apache, the DirectoryIndex directive in the server configuration or .htaccess file specifies the default filenames for directory index.
4. Verify DNS Settings:
   • If you recently changed your website’s hosting provider or server, DNS changes may take time to propagate. Verify that your domain is pointing to the correct server by checking DNS settings.
5. Check for Redirects:
   • Verify that there are no redirects in place that are sending visitors to a different page. Check your .htaccess file or server configuration for any redirect rules.
6. Review Content Management System (CMS):
   • If your website uses a CMS (e.g., WordPress, Joomla, Drupal), ensure that the new homepage has been set correctly within the CMS settings. Some CMS platforms allow you to set a specific page as the homepage.
7. Inspect Page Source Code:
   • View the page source code in your browser to check if the correct content is being served. Look for any errors or inconsistencies in the HTML code.
8. Check for Errors:
   • Examine server logs for any error messages that might indicate why the new homepage is not loading. Both server logs and browser developer tools can provide valuable information.
9. Test on Different Browsers:
   • Test the website on different browsers to rule out browser-specific issues. If the issue is browser-specific, it may be related to browser settings or cache.
10. Contact Hosting Support:
    • If you’ve tried the above steps and the issue persists, consider reaching out to your hosting provider’s support team for assistance. They may be able to identify server-related issues.
11. Check CMS Cache:
    • If your website uses a CMS, check if there is any caching mechanism in place. Clear the CMS cache to ensure that the new content is being served.

By systematically going through these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the issue preventing your new homepage from showing up.
