Sitemeter Crashing Web Sites Using IE
Sitemeter Crashing Web Sites Using Internet Explorer on August 1, 2008!
I apologize if you’ve been trying to visit this site yesterday evening and it’s been down.
I just discovered that the SiteMeter tracking code that counts visitors to my site was causing visits from Internet Explorer to crash. I first realized the issue this morning.
After further investigation, I discovered that SiteMeter is bringing down every site where its counter code is loaded when the visiting browser is Internet Explorer versions 6.0 and 7.0. The error may also affect Internet Explorer 5.5.
Tens of thousands of publishers use sitemeter to track their content, including thousands of bloggers. It has been a great tool for analyzing my website’s traffic data.
The text of the error is “Internet Explorer cannot open the internet site.”
How to fix the IE error on Wordpress, Blogger, and other sites?
I removed the Sitemeter tracking code from my sites and now all is loading fine.
For further status, visit http://www.sitemeter.com in Internet Explorer.
If it works, they’ve probably got it fixed.
