Something is broken? ?

Not "broken" as in "defect".
"Broken" as in "people with botnets attack the server by sending ten thousands to millions of requests to the server through those spread / infected botnet systems which are listening to a central (or multiple) servers for their new "task"".

This eats up the bandwidth and computing power, as such the server can even crash. In this case fortunately it doesn't crash, but the (mostly requested, probably) main page link was non reachable i.e. blank page.

But even if nothing breaks temporarily, it still lags the connections of all further users into oblivion and beyond, depending on how long and big the attack cluster is.

Thank you my good fox, we are on a pendulum between sub zero °C and over zero °C temperatures. Monday to Wednesday were quite sunny and dry, then the rain/snow/rain/wind began again.

But it's acceptable. At least not -10°C or less. Just -1 to -3°C.
