Hiccup. We all get them occasionally. So does the Web. When an Internet or server hiccup causes a script, stylesheet, or font file to timeout, the result can be devastating – the containing web page is likely to appear completely white for a minute or more. What’s worse – your monitors are unlikely to register this outage. Don’t worry – this probably won’t happen to your website. Or will it?
