This site wouldn't load. Looking in the status bar it was trying to contact Google Analytics to get a javascript file. This affected Firefox but not IE which loaded fine.
I commented Google Analytics out of the page and now it is working again.
I don't use Google Analytics a lot, I still prefer statcounter for my web statistics because of the detail it gives me. Google Analytics is more about pie charts for marketing people. Statcounter tells me what google searches people are using to find my site and that is much more interesting. Statcounter also gives graphs and averages and these tally pretty much with Google Analytics.
I'll leave just statcounter installed for now, I don't need both, it slows down page loading, google analytics is in the header and brings the whole site down if the server goes, statcounter is at the end of the html and most of the page still displays even if statcounter isn't responding.
Moral: don't link to unreliable servers in your page header.
