My Texas Roadhouse Website Not Loading Properly in Opera on Desktop

Hi everyone, I run a small website that focuses on Texas Roadhouse content (menu pages, coupon details, and blog posts about their food). On most browsers, including Chrome and Firefox, the site loads normally. But when I or some of my users access it through Opera on desktop computers, several problems occur.
The biggest issue is that certain menu pages don’t fully render. Instead of showing the text and images, Opera sometimes displays a blank area where the content should be. Refreshing the page once or twice usually fixes it, but not always. On some machines, it just hangs with a spinning loader. I checked developer tools in Opera, and I saw a few errors related to scripts not executing, even though the same scripts work fine in other browsers.
Another problem is with SSL. The site uses a valid Let’s Encrypt certificate, and it passes all security checks. However, Opera occasionally throws a warning that the site is “not secure” or “certificate invalid.” I confirmed the SSL chain is fine on Qualys SSL Labs, so I’m guessing Opera may be stricter or caching something incorrectly on certain computers. Has anyone run into this before?
Performance is also noticeably worse in Opera. Some users report the site taking 10+ seconds to load compared to 2–3 seconds in Chrome. The heaviest pages are the coupon sections, which load a lot of images. I’ve optimized them, enabled caching, and even tested with CDNs, but Opera desktop browsers seem slower regardless. I tested on multiple PCs (Windows 10 and Windows 11), and the results are the same.
I also want to point out that Opera on mobile seems to handle the site betterfewer SSL errors and faster loading. This makes me think the issue is specific to Opera on Windows computers. Could it be related to hardware acceleration, or maybe how Opera interprets certain CSS/JS libraries?
Has anyone else experienced compatibility issues like this with Opera? Are there specific tweaks I should make to ensure better support for my Texas Roadhouse website, especially on desktop PCs? Any insights or troubleshooting steps would really help, because I don’t want to lose visitors who happen to be using Opera. Please pleas assist as I am not a technical person even I can share my website url to you so that you can check. I think the problem is on my end maybe because of my internet,

@kimkorton You forgot to post the screenshots showing the issues happening in Opera.

I didn’t include screenshots in my first post, but I’ll capture some from Opera showing the blank sections and SSL warning so it’s clearer what I’m seeing. The errors don’t always happen consistently, which is why I didn’t think of screenshots right away, but I’ll try to document them the next time they appear. Do you want me to post the screenshots directly here in the thread, or is there a preferred way to share them on the forum?

@kimkorton Just post them here in this topic. Don't forget to add some context for each one.

You should start with that. Without looking at your site we can give only very general hints, like "turn VPN off" (although I don't believe that all your clients use Opera with VPN) or "do not serve mixed content".
Generally Opera is pretty reliable tool, there are very few sites in the wild, which trigger some unique Opera errors.
