Hello All,
I have two website in managed WordPress with GoDaddy (Pro 5 plan), and both are encountering the same issue:
After flushing my browser cache, during the first second, the browser says it cannot connect (like if the website didn’t exist), and then, it loads. Sometimes it can take forever, sometimes it is normal . When I apply the speed testers (PageSpeed Insight and GT Metrix), their servers cannot connect. And this happens 50% of the time. It’s by period: Sometimes, it works for a few houes each time, sometimes it works once every two tries in a row, sometimes, it fails 100% of the time. The non -systematicity of the problem makes me nuts: It prevents me trying to solve this by elimination.
I contacted GoDaddy’s support and spent 90 minutes with the guy, brainstorming… He was kind and polite, but he was useless. I was light years ahead of him in terms of understanding how the Internet works, and really, I am not an expert. After the conversation, I actually started a panic attack / insomnia, because I have been working on one of the websites for two weeks full, and at launch this happens… (with the second one, doing the same thing). Should I Send GoDaddy my medical bills?
I am attaching a few screen shots… It’s clearly GoDaddy’s servers at fault because both websites are radically different (different themes, different plugins, different resources requested). I hope I am wrong and that it can be fixed easily, but I don’t see another reason than problems at the server level. I am two fingers away to moving to another host and being ready to lose the money and time I invested in them.
Any idea what could cause this? Anybody had a similar experience? I would really be grateful for any help you can provide (I am attaching snapshots of the return of the speed testers).

Thanks!
PS: For some reason, GoDaddy doesn't let me upload images here ("an Unexpected Error has occurred" ... typical):
So this is the text version:
GT-Metrix:
Analysis Error
An error occurred fetching the page: HTTPS error: Connection reset by peer
There may be a connectivity issue between your server and the GTMetrix test server. Please login to try testing from another test location or try again later.
Please see our FAQ on how to fix this error.
