Intermittent Dropped Connections

Hi.

Every now and again, the server drops the connection mid-flight and Safari gives an error that says the server stopped responding. This happens when surfing, and also when submitting a form. In both cases, a simple refresh suffices to confirm that the request or post was made, although it can be quite alarming when the form fields are cleared and you have to go back to get the contents back if they weren't sent. There is no apparent rhyme or reason to it and it basically occurs at random, though infrequently enough that it's not showstopping. And, so far, it's only been on my iPhone, whether or not I'm on Wi-Fi. the site is of course completely allow-listed so it's not any content blocking.

Anyone else? Is the team aware?

Cheers.

The very act of posting this topic caused the problem. This time the error from Safari was that "Safari couldn't connect to the server". This is obviously useless, but hopefully you can now trace it more easily.

Yes I have also been getting this problem on my Mac recently.

Once 5 days ago when trying to access the home page on iphone safari. All other sites before and after were working fine.
It fixed itself aftar a few minutes.

Have seen this frequently over the past month. Using Brave on iOS. Seems less frequent with Firefox/Brave on Windows, but something's still up.
