Homepage Links Not Working on Initial Load

[Biel M]

The links on the homepage are not working, but this problem only affects the homepage. When navigating to other pages the links work perfectly across all browsers.

Try navigating from here to the home page which is "Biel Moreno" link https://bielmoreno.com/category/projects/

Specifically:

If you start browsing directly on the homepage (including in incognito/private browser mode), the links on that homepage do not respond or work as expected.

However, if you navigate to another page first and then come back to the homepage, the links on the homepage start working correctly.

The problem persists even after clearing all caches on WordPress, the server, and the browser.

The issue is consistent across different browsers and is specific only to the initial homepage load.

Disabling Ajax navigation in Laytheme and refreshing permalinks have not resolved the problem.

There are no identifiable plugin conflicts after temporarily deactivating other plugins.

No custom scripts or CSS are currently active on the homepage that might interfere with link functionality.

Thank you in advance for looking into it.
