Connection timed out

Some visitors, and myself, are unable to access ibiblio.org. We’re seeing “connection timed out” errors. (https://ibiblio.org/mal/MO/philm/)
Curiously it is happening using Firefox, but Safari is working for me, but not for at least one visitor.

We are working to more narrowly characterize the problem and will update here when we have made progress.

Things are looking better today. We’ve made multiple changes, but no single change that would guarantee this doesn’t recur. If folks see performance issues again today or over the weekend, full URLs you were trying to load at the time of the failure along with a timestamp are useful. Thanks.

Many thanks! I had noticed that the issue seemed to be resolved.

Previously I had run a traceroute and it seemed there was a 100% loss at one of the hops closest to ibiblio.org.

There does still seem to be a DNS glitch, perhaps?

Thanks again!
