No Products link in Admin (Fresh install)

[MikeA]

Aimeos-Laravel 2022.10.3 install on Win 7 with XAMPP 8.6 or Artisan Serve local dev and MySql Db.

My first time with Aimeos. Used Zend Framework then Laravel for yonks but finding latest Aimeos a painful experience so far, so needing gentle clear help please.

After fresh install I see front end. Sign into Admin account but see no Products link and clicking Catalog does not open link.

Am I missing a step or plugins? Here's what I see...

Can you please open your browser console and check for errors?
It seems that the JS code is missing for some reason.

Thanks for the hint, my two braincells still being blocked by long Covid. Firefox Privacy Browser (PB) extension blocked Cloudflare CDN. Works when I disable PB. Image below...

Observations from 50+ years in software and electronics prototyping and R&D...
1. Never force jQuery, CSS or other CDNs upon developers, especially before production
2. Public CDNs like Cloudflare are a poor CDN choice and potentially catastrophic when they get compromised. Set up a private CDN on an extra server for $3 a month and lock that server down. We live in the days of ANI SecOps, where narrow AI is constantly probing, identifying and setting entities for later penetration.

I was almost put off Aimeos by this encounter, albeit my fault for not checking console exceptions before writing.

HTH...

The frontend serves already local files only, the admin backend will follow.
