I get this error but only with one specific website (which is my own). This must be linked to the website as it is happening on 3 different machines on 3 different networks (personal comp on personal wifi, phone on 4/3g and work pc on work network) and no other sites. Also, it happens no matter what you put after the domain name, weather its a real page or just '/sdjhlgajhsdfg'.

A reply to the other post said that it looks like somthing to do with akamai. As this is my site, i went to the CPanel and disabled the akamai options (over 24 hours ago). i do not need any kind of caching like this as it is a simple html css site with only a hand full of mostly text pages. The most complicated thing on the site is a downloadable pdf which i have actually just taken down.

The error ref number changes every time you refresh the page.

Reference #9.d7c33b8.1478565760.55ccef1

Reference #9.d7c33b8.1478566986.560a7c3

Reference #9.d7c33b8.1478567000.560b460

Any advice would be very much appreciated.

I finally found some time to contact my webserver provider.

I can see that the domain has been removed from the Akamai server. However, the CNAME which was pointing to Akamai server was causing the issue. I have removed the CNAME record.

after about half an hour its back up. theres some display issues with the layout, but at lease its displaying the relevant content and not the error.
