Problems

gatsby-plugin-netlify

There was a problem with this plugin so I ended up disabling it temporarily.

 ERROR

(node:21015) [DEP_WEBPACK_COMPILATION_NORMAL_MODULE_LOADER_HOOK] DeprecationWarning:
Compilation.hooks.normalModuleLoader was moved to NormalModule.getCompilationHooks(compilation).loader

-'gatsby-plugin-netlify',
+// disabled due to bug with webpack
+// 'gatsby-plugin-netlify',

gatsby-plugin-netlify Automatically generates a _headers file and a _redirects file at the root of the public folder to configure HTTP headers and redirects on Netlify.

Looking at the plugin it's probably not that useful & a workaround would be to add headers to netlify.toml

[[headers]]
  for = "/*"
  [headers.values]
    X-Frame-Options = "DENY"
    X-XSS-Protection = "1; mode=block"
    X-Content-Type-Options = "nosniff"
    Referrer-Policy = "same-origin"
