Alexa Always Offline

    Hi,

    I have been accessing Alexa over the past few days and it always seems to be slow loading, offline or error within the page. I have tried other sites at the same time and these work fine does anyone else notice this with Alexa.

    I was thinking it may be a hacker attack as is is unusual for a major site to be offline so much.

    works fine for me.

    it's something on your end or with your isp. try flushing your dns, rebooting your computer/modem, contacting your isp if you're really desperate, or just waiting it out.

    Slow loading or timeouts for me. However loads *faster* if I use the IP: http://209.237.238.100. Which I find very odd. I am on Tiscali if anyone cares.

    I am in the uk and have had several problems with Alexa as well - I never really visit it much - although the odd time it seems to work fine, so maybe they were doing some upgrade on serving pages to the uk.

    I have sent a email to Alexa. I will post back what they say. To me it seems like a UK limited problem in connection to a DNS issue.

    TVCokeCan if you can do let us know what they say, At first i thought it was just my own connection but I'm glad i posted this now as it seems i am not the only one with problems.

    US loads fine UK not could this be server upgrades, i have been getting problems for at least the last 6 days.

    it still may be an ISP specific problem. from my understanding you guys don't exactly have a whole lot of choice between ISPs in the UK.

    on one of my sites I swear every other person from the UK uses NTL

    Nope, nothing to do with ISP. I am suffering exactly the same problems since last week, alexa takes ages to load, sometimes it doesn't load at all or it does but all the images are broken
