The hyper URL link (from Amazon US or China) don't open on my blog?

    Hello guys,

    Currently I’ve encountered a weird problem about “Books” on my WordPress blog page – https://quanwenzhao.wordpress.com/books/.

    On that page you can click total 9 number of web URL links and those are several books from Amazon website.

    My first book “Oracle SQL Tuning with Oracle SQLTXPLAIN” has been modified to be “https://www.amazon.com/dp/1430248092” and other 8 books’ links are just Amazon China’s website.

    However I don’t open it now, could you help me?

    Thanks in advance.

    Best Regards
    Quanwen Zhao

    Hello there, the first book link is working fine for me. The second link keeps on loading and the third link was able to show something but it’s loading quite slow.

    I think this issue could be due to the connection to the Amazon China site so I did a simple ping test to see the response time.

    C:Usersregina.foo>ping www.amazon.cn

    As you can see the response time from Amazon China is taking longer. So I think this one should be unrelated to your site on WordPress.com.

    Hi there,

    There is nothing wrong with the links appearing on your site. If the pages at those links are not opening, it’s a problem on Amazon’s end. Please contact them directly for help in that case.

    The links are all working fine for me, so most likely the problem is related to a specific Amazon server you’re connecting to.

    reginabally and kokkieh,

    Many thanks for your help!

    Nevertheless if I logged into my blog via my account and then click those links (all of 9 links can open normally).

    The problems should be related to Amazon’s site.

    Best Regards

    Hello,

    I’ve modified all of my 9 links to be Apress (because those books have been published by Apress) this time.

    All of links are Okay. Thank you very much!

    Best Regards
