Safari 27.0.1 Causes Website Image CSS to Display Incorrectly

Safari 27.0.1 no longer displays my website correctly.

In Safari, on both mobile and desktop installations, I see this:

I have seen reports of auto height and SVG being affected by more recent updates but I do not use auto height and I do not use SVG. Here is the CSS:

Can anyone tell me what has changed in the software to cause this issue?

Hi there

Please try this

Test in a Private Window: Press Shift-Command-N on a Mac to open a Private Window. If your website displays correctly there, the issue is tied to your stored cookies, local storage, or browser cache.
Clear Website Data: Go to Safari > Settings > Privacy and select Manage Website Data to remove cached files for your specific domain, or clear your full browsing history.
Disable Safari Extensions: Go to Safari > Settings > Extensions and turn them off one-by-one to check if an ad-blocker or script-injection tool is breaking your layout.
Check Tracking & Privacy Settings: In Safari > Settings > Advanced, temporarily adjust Use advanced tracking and fingerprinting protection or disable iCloud Private Relay to see if Apple's privacy filters are altering asset loading or network requests.

It is my website and I do not have any cookies enabled on it. It is happening on every device and only on Safari, so it's not a storage issue or extension issue. With respect, I am can't waste time on steps that aren't indicated by the problem, no matter how many points it gets responding users.
