Website appears as html via some wireless networks

    I am a WordPress duffer who has taken on the responsibility for our community art group. Yesterday, I spent the morning on the site updating the language in some online forms (Gravity Forms) and everything was working fine. I left at noon to travel to a community centre where I was to give a live presentation–something I’ve done before there without incident–of said forms to our members. I connected to the centre’s wi-fi network and browsed to our website. I was horrified to see it appear as nothing but html (text and some images). Needless to say, I couldn’t get the forms to come up. I thought I had done something to the site. I tried a couple of things to fix the problem to no avail. Making my apologies, I rushed home figuring I may need to revert to a earlier save. Fired up my laptop again, connected to my home wi-fi and…..everything looked fine.

    Anyone with any ideas about why would the site look like that when I was connected to the community centre’s wi-fi on this occasion?

    Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

    Looking at the website it appears that all your resources are served via a CDN. That’s can be a great trade for speed but sometimes the CDN can run into issues. I’ve personally run into this CDN issue recently specifically with GoDaddy. I unfortunately don’t have much advice other than to move away from the current CDN you’re on and go onto something more stable. The Jetpack Plugin has their own CDN but you may need to pay a bit for it -> https://jetpack.com/features/design/content-delivery-network/

    Just clarifying really quick that Jetpack’s CDN is part of its free feature set, no paid plan required: https://jetpack.com/support/site-accelerator/ ??

    Hmmm. OK, I turned off GoDaddy’s CDN feature and we’ll see how things go. I guess if I am that interested in CDN, I’ll have to investigate my options, including JetPack’s.

    Thank you for your input.
