Anyone else see "This site can't be reached" message

[WWBman]

Any idea why I keep getting the following message?
It only happens on this forum (no other website) and shows for about half a second before showing the intended page.
It's not just on one thread and doesn't happen all the time but at least once per forum session.

I have got this at times. I have emailed Pablo recently with findings I have noticed regarding users online that may be causing this or not related at all. Hopefully he will read this and reply.

I can also confirm that this happens. It is true.

[WWBman]

Thanks Guys.

Can also be caused by "Denial of Service" attacks, or even just a heavy server load (large number of users online at the same time).

[Pablo]

At the moment there are only 58 'guests' so there should be any issues loading the forum.

[wwonderfull]

This started to happen after the forum update, I think before it seemed not to happen If I am not incorrect, I assume.

[Pablo]

I doubt that this has anything to do with the forum update.
There have been days that there is a lot of traffic from countries like China, India from 'bots'.
In the past, I have blocked entire IP ranges for those countries. But this also blocks real users from that area.

It hasn't happened at all for me today (famous last words!).

I think it won't be a big issue because the forum is still accessible when that happens just a reload fixes that. Was something curious to know why it had happened. But for now its a mystery : )

I didn't have to reload, the page shows after about half a second.

True, The site can not be reached problems are mainly related to Network latency, DNS resolution delay, temporary server issues, browser cache, browser extensions, firewall or security software, ISP or network issues, server redirection, temporary internet connectivity issues, server geographic location.

Getting the message quite a lot today.

I don't get logged out, after the message the page reloads itself after about half a second.

@WWBman I know you have probably already done the usual checks ie disconnecting your router for the recommended time from your ISP (plusnet if I am correct) doing a DNS flush of your PC etc. Doing so may help.
I haven't had this happen again since my last reply here.

I load many websites every day and it's only happening to this one.
It doesn't bother me really, I can wait half a second now and again.
