Asset Checklist: Images and Files That Often Go Missing After Deploy

A page can look whole in the Clincoo editor preview and then break on the public URL. The usual cause: an image, font, or stylesheet whose path points outside the published project, or a filename whose capitalization does not match.

Before you hit Deploy, open the file explorer. Confirm every image you use actually lives in the project, not only in your laptop Downloads folder. Remove spaces from filenames. Relative links like ./images/hero.jpg are safer than an absolute path from your computer.

In preview, right-click a suspicious image and inspect its address. If that address is not in the file tree, fix it before publishing. One disconnected CSS file also makes the live site feel unfinished.

Save, preview again, then deploy. After it is live, hard-refresh once. If assets are still missing, the problem is the path, not the publish button.
