Title: Can other people view this website?
Post by: Bowdon on August 06, 2021, 02:47:48 PM

I'm struggling to get this site to load up: https://www.oldham-chronicle.co.uk/ (https://www.oldham-chronicle.co.uk/)

It's the site of the local newspaper here. When I load it up only a white page appears. I've tried it using 2 browsers, and tried clearing the cookies from my main browser. But still the same result. I asked an American friend to try it yesterday. She had no luck either.

They have a facebook page but so far nobody else as mentioned it.

So does the site load up for anyone else?

Fails for me on Waterfox G3.2.4.1 (64-bit) but works OK on Chromium, both on Linux. Strange thing is I can view the source code on Waterfox!

Fine on Opera, Chrome and Edge but not Firefox, although on Firefox I thought I saw a flash of the page before it disappeared  :o

Output from Firefox

The page was reloaded, because the character encoding declaration of the HTML document was not found when prescanning the first 1024 bytes of the file. The encoding declaration needs to be moved to be within the first 1024 bytes of the file. www.oldham-chronicle.co.uk:25

Layout was forced before the page was fully loaded. If stylesheets are not yet loaded this may cause a flash of unstyled content. modernizr-latest.js:458:12

The site doesn't play nicely with ad-blockers, browser doesn't seem to matter. If an ad blocker is enabled in any browser, the site just barfs.

Agree. If I disable 'anti banner' in my Kaspersky AV it loads but with it running it just gives me a blank screen.
