My £4 a month server can handle 4.2M requests a day

Are you sure that's related to the server itself? The page loads instantly for me and the DNS is still resolving to an OVH IP address.

Timing info from Firefox: Blocked: 0ms DNS resolution: 8ms Connecting: 9ms TLS setup: 12ms Sending: 0ms Waiting: 30ms

The very last resource (favicon.ico) loaded after 466ms and that's mostly because of the other files being requested only after the CSS has come in (after about 195ms). All in all the entire site (without the Matomo tracking JS) loaded in half a second.

Maybe the website has switched hosts in the last ten minutes, I guess, but I doubt it. I think this is more likely to be a problem related to distance to origin and saturation of the underlying connection.

Nope, website has not changed at all - speaking of the Matomo tracking; that is running on a separate server and has actually crashed!
