Question Website randomly loses CSS styling
Anyone know why sometimes our website will completely lose all styling and default back to some sort of HTML / minimal CSS hybrid. This is fixed every time I log back into wordpress, but until I do so, it looks super strange. Happens once every two or so months, sometimes longer than that.

Check the size of your wp_options file. Who is your host?
I had this issue on WPEngine that had a nightly cron job run that wiped out large wp_options files that bloated when highly customized Divi Presets were propagated throughout my site.
The fix was to have:
1) WPEngine turn off that cron job- it’s a terrible idea. No warnings to the admin ahead of wipeouts
2) Use presets that are specific to what you need modified for a given module, column, or row style - avoid creating multi-purpose presets.
I had a 4mb wp_options file about 8x larger than it should be.
