Is there anything in Backlight that would cause a browser delay(3-5 seconds) in accessing my website and I get momentary notices like "site cannot be reached" and "checking Proxy and firewall" or "resetting" It only happens occasionally and with both IE and Google Chrome. It never happened before the recent Backlight update. Sometimes I can get right in and then randomly there will be these delays and notices and then the site loads. I am using Norton Security with their default settings. Not a big deal, but something new.

Hi Jim, there's nothing in Backlight that should cause this. I saw that that for a second looking at your site. Strangely, the page reloaded automatically after displaying the 'site cannot be reached'. Are you using some kind of cloud accelerator service with your host? Who are you hosting with?

I use Ipower.com and I am in a que now to talk to them. I don't know of any accelerators that I am using.
I also reinstalled the update since your reply and I am still getting delayed loading.
I did install the index.php which was in the update package. I realized later that it was not required. Could that have made a difference ? Maybe I will find out something from Ipower support if I ever get connected. The fact that you experienced it means that it is not my computer or local network?
I noticed a folder in the root public.html called "site_images", I assume that should be there? it was dated when I did the original Backlight install.
Thanks for your quick reply.

I have no folder named site_images in the root of any of my Backlight test sites
could this be a leftover from your previous site?
for what it's worth, your site loaded very fast for me.

Good to hear about the fast loading. I renamed the folder and no adverse effects.

site_images is not a part of Backlight. I might be something your host creates automatically. For example, my host occasionally recreates empty plesk folders on my server for no apparent reason.

After much analysis and experimenting, I installed Firefox and have not had a delayed access since.
Thanks for all the input.
