media Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Awstats (Cpanel) showing that people are accessing this page on my forum (37656 hits so far in this month) https://mydomain.com/forum/offline/ Looks like robots are getting that page and displaying some users. Then users are stock in that page.... Weird I do replicate the link and got below screenshot... My board is not offline nor turned offline lately. I am not offline, nor internet is down... I have tested same URL here https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/offline I got this: I am using invision standart robot.txt What would be the reason for this????

Marc Stridgen Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 That doesnt actually look to be a page of ours, so unfortunately there isnt an answer I can give you on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Stridgen Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Apparently this is indeed one of ours (my apologies). Its part of the service worker and displays if it cannot connect to the server at that point in time. Its part of PWA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc Stridgen Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 I have tagged developers who are better placed to answer the question there. However even to give a no permission error, the location would need to be accessable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy Calvert Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 (edited) https://invisioncommunity.com/offline You appear to have the wrong URL. 😉 I just checked my own community and have confirmed that domain.com/offline exists and has seen hits. I also see that page if I turn off networking, etc. Edited December 22, 2022 by Randy Calvert media 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Silvester Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 It's completely normal and part of the Progressive Web App. The service worker periodically downloads the offline page so it can be displayed if the device loses an internet connection or the community is unreachable.
