I just launched my website today: finalfatloss.com.
I shared a link to my site on Facebook, and several of my friends told me that the site was blocked on their work computers. Why is this happening?
Thank you.
what kind of block?
Hello,
I can see no block on any browser. The site seems fine.
Please check again.
Thank you!
It was being blocked on my friend’s work computer.
Sorry for the late reply. Could it have been because my post contained the word “shit” in it?
Hi,
Well I’m not sure what kind of block you got on your friend’s computer. Maybe it was some sort of parental guidance block and because you used adult language, the software blocked the site. But I have no way of knowing what software your friend uses on his PC. If the site is OK on another machine, then you’re good to go.
Thanks.
When I said “work computer,” I meant that it was being blocked by his company’s IT department. I’ve noticed that big bureaucracies sometimes have restrictive Internet controls. At a local hospital, for example, I wasn’t able to access Cloud9.
Many companies block certain websites based on safe browsing ratings, tagged as adult content, etc.
Nothing to do with theme.
This happens at MANY companies to block employees from wasting time at work, going to adult websites, etc.
You might look into things like adding a “web of trust” verification to your met data and rating meta data.
Welcome to the interwebs!
Good points. I’ll look into web trust certifications. Thanks Chris!
