Meta: Ironic how the website does not render correctly in Google Chrome on Android. I feel that web design has become rather complicated these days, but surely it's not an impossible task to make websites work for more than one device?

This is the reason why front end developers command so much money. The amount of work required to keep a website without breaking every year or two is ridiculous. And every time you want to update a dependency that's at least a full day of work. Compare that to backend software written in Cobol or Fortran that is still supporting critical infrastructure and services like manufacturing and finance with little to no modifications to the codebase in decades, except for maybe APIs to interface with modern applications and UIs, and these APIs don't change much either.

Same on Safari for iPhone… The page is completely illegible.

I basically had a blank page, but using the reader mode you can read the content

... and with javascript disabled I get an inaccessible error from Cloudflare (error 1020), would that also count as "barrier"?

It’s not complicated if you are a pro, but this is probably just laziness or an intern or something similar happening.

If you have to be a pro to make a website that works....

ios safari here, I could not read a single word everything was left justified and blocked by a white gutter. Lol, will not trust their readability opinions.
