Thanks a lot

I appreciate the recommendation for something like AWS but that skirts around my main question of how to be sure my site does not fail again on event day. For example,
- How do I test Bluehost’s theory that my system has a mySQL connection leak?
- Why did my site do fine one year ago with 13,000 page views on event day, but this year fail under the same load?
- When I choose a host/site configuration for 2018, how can I test my preparedness for event day?
I am open to the possibility that Bluehost service is “wrong” in suggesting a database connection leak, and that you are “right” in suggesting I need to move to a different host. HOWEVER one year ago I asked Bluehost service how to make sure I was ready for event day, and they said I would be fine, and they were right! If I’m going to take your advice to switch web hosts, I would like to understand what is the difference between Bluehost success in 2016 and Bluehost failure in 2017. It seems really likely that Geodirectory is changing something important about the resource demands of my site compared to last year, and so I’m hoping you can shed light on that.
Stiofan, my current hosting package is Bluehost Shared “Plus”. See https://my.bluehost.com/cgi/help/price for very general info.
Yes that fixed it. thanks.
I have about 60 bands now to update like that but that’s better than restoring my 3am backup I guessufff… every band that I bulk edited has a 404 broken page now 🙁
All the bands i did not bulk edit have working pages
I have put my site into maintenance mode and may roll back to this morning’s backup
thanks!
Thanks, Paolo for your prompt investigation. Checking that box has no effect that I can see. regardless, the old bands allow comments and the newer bands do not allow comments. How can I allow comments for all bands?

Thanks, Stiofan. I look forward to the update 🙂
Hi Stiofan — I just saw your note. I double checked after clearing my browser and it looks like you did it! I can’t get the problem to occur anymore. thanks a lot. 🙂
My site has its big moment next week, so I have to do something to ensure people don’t get the wrong set of markers on their screen. It wouldn’t be a big deal to just remove the “Arlington Heights” and “East Arlington” links IMO and effectively stop people from viewing in that way. Do you think that will be a reasonable workaround, or does this problem probably extend to other ways of viewing my site? Thanks for your help!!!
Here is the image (small enough to upload)
Hi Stiofan, thanks. Are you making changes to my site configuration? I’m just curious so that I don’t undo anything important. And if you’re not, then I’m not sure what I’m testing (without first updating a plugin or something).
In any case, I tried the usual going from one neighborhood to another (per my initial “how to replicate this bug”). I am seeing the same problem. The markers update for East Arlington, and then for Arlington Heights, but then they remain stuck (still showing Arlington Heights when I view East Arlington) until I clear the cache.
I also went back to GTMetrix and I no longer see any complaints about gzip, so maybe CORS is taken care of?
