Tried a different browser / incognito window to see if it's just a caching thing?
And on the left (just outside of your screenshot), is the node itself with a green check or a grey question-mark?

I just tried firefox, that never have visited the pve page, still spins there.
currently using Vivaldi, and the spinner-thing worked earlier yesterday.

As far as I know, the summary-page is created by the pvestatd service, could you check if it has any errors/warnings in the logs and/or in systemctl status pvestatd, or if restarting that service with systemctl restart pvestatd helps?

Also, is there a wayto perhaps reaquire the summary page files, perhaps mine gone bonkers (without losing other config files and such)

Hmm. In my experience the only 2 other things I can think of;

1. The summary page relies heavily on the time state, is the time correct & correctly configured on the node. Check all time services.
2. Is your node fully updated? A mismatch of updates could cause your error.

(BTW, I like your name!)

Seems correct for me.
There is nothing in the pve updates, all seems updated and fine.
 
Does the rest of the GUI work - as expected?

In the Datacenter Summary does all appear normal? In Datacenter Search does all uptime etc. correlate with reality?

looks normal in both places.
Updatime is about 35 minutes because of the reboot test.
 
OK. I was almost stumped by this one - until I took a closer look at the loading spinner image, where I noticed a line "CPU Thermal State". That is not showing through a regular PVE installed system. So you've obviously tweaked/hacked your system to show other custom items. Go back & figure out what has gone wrong with it - and I'm pretty sure your problem will go away.

Ah yeah. Forgot i tried to show host temp on the pve page (using this) https://new.reddit.com/r/homelab/comments/rhq56e/displaying_cpu_temperature_in_proxmox_summery_in/
Removed the stuff and pve loads as expected.
