Web browser fails to connect to website after 100 refreshes on client

gq flag

I'm using an HTTP meta-refresh to execute a script multiple times.

After 100 refreshes, the browser stalls.

According to devtools, the browser doesn't even complete an initial connection to the server.

After this point I can't load any other pages from my website.

At first I thought this was a server side issue, however, if I switch to another browser, on the same device, I'm again able to access my website.

After some time, I'm again able to use the original browser to access the website.

I don't know enough to even begin to troubleshoot this problem. What might be happening here?

It probably is your server or the hosting platform. Most hosting platforms have measures in place to prevent exactly what you are doing - spamming the site.

I know it is your own site, and what you are doing is legit, but there is no way for the website/hosting platform to know this. This is how websites can get taken down by DOS attacks. I would contact your hosting provider to ask them if they have anything like this in place, and if they do, how you can disable them.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
