Some badly-coded websites do not perform as expected with the iPadOS Safari User Agent operating in one or other of its browsing modes - of which their are two - these being Desktop and Mobile.
It’s easy to switch between modes if a website isn’t functioning correctly. From the desired web-page, touch the aA icon at the left of the Address Bar; this will reveal a menu. From the menu select Website Settings, then select (or deselect) Request Desktop Website, then tap Done. Now refresh the webpage.
The chosen setting will be saved for the selected website - and can be simply reversed if needed.
Problems can also arise if you are using an Ad or Content blocking App. If using an Ad-blocker, try temporarily disabling the App - or modify its ruleset to white-list the website URL that is causing difficulties.
As a last resort, try using an alternative browser App - such as Firefox:
https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/firefox-private-safe-browser/id989804926
It could be something with mobile safari. Or the site is not coded to support mobile browsers.
The easiest thing to do would be to find an alternative browser that works better.
