What I learnt shopping for decent computer speakers

Well, the OP isn't using such a thing. A quick lookup says it's hosted at internet-webhosting.com which appears to be a Malaysian web hosting outfit that sells the usual shared/vps/dedi hosting along with "wordpress hosting" which looks a lot like cPanel + Litespeed. Ho Hum.

https://web.archive.org/web/20201026180211/https://mybyways.... shows that it's built using Grav, which is fine I guess. I don't know how well that holds up to high traffic, but if he's not using any specific caching then I think just about anything could fall over in the face of the HN hug of death. And until one has been HN'd (or slashdotted) then they really don't think about such things most of the time. I know I didn't. Then, my WP site got slashdotted. It stayed online with some quick work, but that was almost a decade ago. I suspect that the OP is doing a similar scramble now.

I'm getting a "connection was reset" error. The hoster is most likely blocking all requests to the host name, probably due to an automatic DDoS detection (Wordpress is quite memory hungry) or because the included traffic has been exceeded.
