Mobile checker is failing to check some websites #96

Hi,

for some websites, the checker is not displaying results, example https://validator.w3.org/mobile-alpha/?url=http%3A%2F%2Frocssti.net%2F&profile=default

Just wondering if the problem is coming from header('X-Frame-Options:DENY'); or something like that ?

Kind regards, Nicolas

Hi @nico3333fr, Actually it works for me. We are experiencing lot of connections since the release. I bet that's why. Let me check on my side.

I had this without the message "Hi, this service is receiving too many requests...", so I though it was broken, as I've tested on another site that worked without problem.

Sorry if I wasn't enough patient, my mistake :)

Maybe, could it be possible to make a cache system : to avoid another analysis if it has already been made? (with an option to force checker to re-do it if needed)

I am sorry you experienced some problem with the online version of the Mobile Checker. We are currently trying to improve that. Thank you for your patience :)

Cache System: That's an option yes! And it will increase our performance! but this will bring some issues that we have to consider:

privacy: we will have to save the check's result somewhere and maybe the community won't agree with that.
Most of the users ask for a new check after they did some changes in their code. So we have to detect when it's necessary or not to reload and emulate again the website.
