Some websites don’t appear to play nicely with the the new iPadOS webkit engine - and sometimes do not render correctly. There are two workarounds that usually resolve the problem - and you’ve already discovered the first:


1) Simply rotate the iPad orientation from Portrait to Landscape - or vice versa. The page often redraws correctly.


2) For affected websites, change the Safari default “desktop” setting to “mobile”.

  • Tap the aA icon at the left-end of the address bar
  • Tap Website Settings
  • Turn-off Request Desktop Website
  • Tap Done

This change will only influence the affected website - other pages will continue to render using your default settings.


Hopefully, as incidence of this issue is not uncommon, either affected websites and/or Apple will resolve this issue with a code change at some point in the future.


I hope you find this to be helpful in resolving your website rendering problem.
