  • Edwin Jonk: Your site was down?
  • Tech Blog Corner: +Edwin Jonk we have checked the site is up.. and running
  • Edwin Jonk: Well for some reason your site did timeout, meaning that G couldn't reach the site. ;
  • Edwin Jonk: For me it works ;

  • Tech Blog Corner: still same problem +Edwin Jonk
  • Tim Capper: I just ran the site through the page speed test and it loaded fine for me
  • Jim Munro: It just failed for me via +Edwin Jonk ;'s link but the site itself loaded OK. Maybe there is a file required for this page that is sporadically failing.
  • Jim Munro: It might be one of the ad partners or for some reason one of the requests made is for 404.html on the gtmetrix list. Might that be it? ;http://gtmetrix.com/reports/beautyspires.com/yfFmirYk
    The keywords meta tag is spammed. I'd cut it back to a couple or remove the tag altogether. Google and Bing both say they do not use it.

    The cuetimes listed on this page are functional while the live broadcast continues and also once Youtube has finished processing the public broadcast. Processing time varies between 6-24 hours. During this period the clip is viewable in full but the cuetimes cannot be relied on. ;
