  I started my website 3 days ago and have changed from private to “publish” over 48 hours ago but I still can’t access it on either Firefox or Google Chrome search engines. I’ve gone again and again to ensure all is set to “publish”, but no success.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there!

  When I visit http://raglanroadreunion.com/, I am able to see your site.

  I’ve checked this on Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. This is what I see:
  https://cloudup.com/cQsb1QEZRi2

  I think one issue you may be having is a slow load time due to a large, unoptimized image on your front page. Could you please make an adjustment, according to the suggestions in this document:
  en.support.wordpress.com/media/image-optimization/

  Then, clear your browser’s cache using the instructions below:

  You may find that cropping your header to the size suggested by your theme will also be helpful: 1280 × 426 pixels.

  Give this a try, and let me know how your site loads for you afterward. We can certainly help troubleshoot further if you’re still having issues!

  Many thanks.
