 * depicter is giving a warning that it fails to load depicter.js.map and sometimes
   the slider doesnt load properly , including button background colours etc. I 
   believe this could be the problem?

 * thank you for your advice , I think it is a caching issue more than anything 
   else.

 * Hi.
 * Thank you for the follow-up.
 * Yes, that could be the problem. Please make sure about that by clearing (or purging)
   the cache and even temporarily disabling the cache plugin. If that fixed the 
   problem, please share the results with me. We will find a permanent solution 
   so that this problem never happens again.
   Let me know

 * Hello again.
 * Alright now we know that what is the root problem. Now we need to locate what
   option or feature is causing this. 
 * Please enable the Autoptimize and check for optimizing option. What options are
   enabled? Can you confirm that disabling an option fixes the problem? 
 * Please let me know so we can go on and find what exactly brings the issue. then
   find a way to fix it
