What's happened is: you've posted so many links on here back to your website that you've worn it out - best get another!

Hi Nathanael.  My solar site seems to be having issues loading.  It plays up on my iPad 3 and desktop Windows PC.  There is a mobile site, which seems to be fine.  It takes ages to load and today I keep getting a cloudflare page which says the website is offline.  I can hit a button to retry for a live version and when I do, sometimes it will load the site, but without my twitter feed.

I have contacted the guy who looks after it for me about this before and again today.  He says everything is fine his end and there are no issues.  I trust him implicitly, but I know there are issues though because I can't get on it all the time, despite all other websites i try on my devices working, and others have told me the same.

Do you have any ideas?

Cheers mate.

Steve.  :)

Sorry for the slow reply - my mrs dragged me out shopping today & the torture only just ended!

Your site loads quickly for me in Ireland - but is minus the twitter feed. The twitter issue could be down to the regional settings on your twitter account though - I have the same issue with some facebook feeds for UK based companies.

Is the slow loading & twitter issue recent? If its only happened in the last 24 hours I would expect its probably a temporary routing issue with your ISP or local exchange,.. most routing configuration changes are made on Friday nights & can take up to 36 hours to start working properly. These kinds of changes will affect routing between your ISP & certain hosts/domains, so the chances are its only a temporary issue.

If its still not working properly by tomorrow evening, then its time to panic!

A small issue I did notice with your site is there isn't a maximum page width set in the style sheet - this makes the site look very stretched on widescreen monitors & full HD screens which are becoming quite popular. Its an easy fix though, so worth mentioning to your designer. :)

Yay!!! The boy is back in town! ;D ;D ;D

The site is loading again now, fairly quickly, but not as quick as i know it can and without the twitter feed. I've had the odd slow loading before and it is usually weekends as you say, when I want to write my blogs and update the site, which I guess is typical! ::)roll The twitter feed going missing is new though.

My ISP is Virgin and my domain registrar is LCN if that makes a difference. Also, when the page does not load, I get a page from Cloudflare.

I will let my man know about the resolution issue as well. Any further info would be much appreciated mate. Thanks for replying.  :) :-*

Cloudflare has had issues before: http://techcrunch.com/2013/03/03/cloudflare-is-down-due-to-dns-outage-taking-down-785000-websites-including-4chan-wikileaks-metallica-com/

 :o :-\

Personally I wouldn't use it for a small business website.

Interesting read mate. Who controls Cloudflare on my site? Virgin, LCN, my server host? How can I get it changed? Who would you use?

Its probably your web designer that signed up for it - he should be able to switch it off.

Personally I think a service like this is completely unnecessary for a small business website.
