Static Files Not Serving on Replit
CSS, JavaScript, and images return 404 or don't load on deployed Replit app. Static resources are missing or misconfigured.
Spring Boot has specific requirements for static file locations and configuration.
Error Messages You Might See
404 Not Found
GET /static/css/style.css - 404
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404
Common Causes
- Static files not in correct directory (should be src/main/resources/static)
- Spring static resource mapping not configured
- Build process excludes static files from JAR
- Incorrect static resource prefix in HTML templates
- GZIP compression causing browser caching issues
How to Fix It
Place files in src/main/resources/static/css, src/main/resources/static/js. Use Thymeleaf th:href=@{/path/to/file.css} for template links. Ensure build.gradle includes static resources. Disable static resource caching in development with spring.web.resources.cache.period=0. Check Content-Type headers are correct.

I am a technologist and product builder dedicated to creating high-impact solutions at the intersection of AI and specialized markets. Currently, I am focused on PropScan (EstateGuard), an AI-driven SaaS platform tailored for the Japanese real estate industry, and exploring the potential of Archify.
As an INFJ-T, I approach development with a "systems-thinking" mindset—balancing technical precision with a deep understanding of user needs. I particularly enjoy the challenge of architecting Vertical AI SaaS and optimizing Small Language Models (SLMs) to solve specific, real-world business problems. Whether I'm in a CTO-level leadership role or hands-on with the code, I thrive on building tools that turn complex data into actionable value.
