I see 7 words: "Database Error" in the tab header (page title) and "Error establishing a database connection" in the page content.

Yes, if that's a sin, it's hardly a deadly one.

This mistake makes the text not only hard to read, but prevents the audience from seeing the text at all. [1]

If that doesn't quality as deadly sin, what would qualify? How much worse could it be?

[1] So they need to reach out for different sources like archive.org and/or Google cache for the rescue.

I'd classify it as a deadly sin - because I can't see the content.

I concur, from the cached version:
