It appears that the 503 error (which I have never seen) is caused by Google Analytics and as such I cannot see how to avoid it without removing the analytic code, but that would leave me without a way to monitor the site use. If there are other ways to get this information quite easily I would love to hear about it.

The https errors however are not caused by this as they happen when there is no google analytic code in the site and would guess this could be more of a timeout issue or maybe stale cache???

Getting 503s a lot recently

Post by WarnerCaf »

Recently I have to log in virtually every time I use the forum. I dont think its the forums fault, but probably my computer, although I dont have a problem on any other sites. Any ideas?

The first thing I would check is your cookie and privacy settings, they can affect whether the system is allowed to remember things.

Really?? I have removed all metrics from the site so it is literally just the PHPBB system...
