My observations looking at it in 2022 as to what is getting used and has currency....

”on the website” tends to predominate for American English language websites.

For British English, ”at the website” tends to refer to the whole of the site, e.g. ”at the BBC website” whereas ”on the website” would be a portion of the website, such as where you might enter some data or a help page.

As for ”on the website” being ”correct” in American English..
This is what predominates at the moment as far as I can see. All this might change even in the very near future - like a lot of language associated with internet. For example ”website” was almost exclusively written as ”web site” 20 years ago. Who knows what might happen even in 5?

By the way, if you are reading this in the future, hello from 2022
