my site gives me "connection timed out" after some page requests - out

I have built a little browser game all in html, js and php where you have your character and the more you win the more you gain points and bla bla bla.... In this game ther's a problem: there are a lot of page redirects and this couse a "connection timed out" after clicking for a while (like 50-100 pages?..). I dont know any method to program my game without redirect.. should i use flash?... never done before... really dont know.
Anyway, could this problem been caused by some ridondance of code ... or whatelse... or it can be a limitation of my (free)domain host? (hostinghood.com)
i know that probably this is spam but if you want to try yourself type "vangers hostinghood" on google.. a registration is needed.. if you think that is phishing dont do it, but i promise that is secure. I dont want problems.
so.. How can i solve this issue?
(eventually, sorry for my english.)

How can I create a simple web proxy server?

Basically the use-case is this:
Open a website > receiving the content from other website (and interacting with it like if it was the original link), so not just html but being able to log in, etc.
The thing is: I want to use my server as a bridge/proxy. (Like https://www.croxyproxy.com/ or https://www.proxysite.com/). For example: let's say I go to https://whatismyipaddress.com/, instead of seeing my real ip, I would like to see my server's ip.
How can I accomplish that? Please help me clarify the approach (and what stack can I use). I'm totally lost after googling a lot, so far I've found this:

Thanks a lot in advance.

Linked in previews not working

I have searched all over the internet for an answer and although I can find a million people with the same question I cannot find an official solution to the problem im experiencing.
I always get "Cannot display preview. You can post as is, or try another link." displayed.
I've stripped a page down to only the required open graph meta tags so I know they work (run through multiple OG validators), Ive disabled any kind of robots blocking, any kind of redirects, disabled the firewall on a test server, made sure the LinkedIn bot requests are hitting the server. All I see in the browser console all the time is a status 500 being returned from LinkedIn's preview generator API.
We are hosting on Windows Server in IIS 8.5, it seems if I create a demo and host it somewhere else it works, which makes me think it is server related or IIS settings.
Reading this Linkedin post's picture doesn't appear in summary its seems like a similar issue. We are not serving over SSL so nothing to do with that.
I have already asked this question on LinkedIn's forum but having no luck, so im hoping someone on here can help or someone from LinkedIn's tech team can help.
Thanks
So we had this issue as well and it turns out parts of our system that use user generated themes were not adding the "Content-Type" header to the response.
So examine the response headers coming from your server and make absolutely sure they are correct and that they include the correct "Content-Type" (with correct encoding) and "Content-Length".

Chrome connects websocket just by pasting URL into navbar

I recently noticed something with Chrome and Websockets (particularly with node/socket.io) where the browser will connect my socket when I paste the URL to my page into the URL bar (without actually going through with the page request). I can verify this by simply consoling out "Connected!" and "Disconnected" in their respective socket events.
Now, I've read that Chrome has the ability to preload some parts of webpages when they are typed into the URL bar, and I would imagine that this is what is happening, however, the second part to this issue is that when I remove the url from the bar, it does not disconnect. Furthermore, if I even go to another page in that same tab, still no disconnect.
Also, it seems if I re-paste the url into the bar, the server disconnects and then reconnects.
I feel this could be a major hassle with some implementations of sockets (at least mine). Does anyone have more information about this or a way around it? Am I using the wrong events?
Chrome version: 34.0.1847.131

403 error on Lighthouse3D's web

I am really pissed about the fact, that Lighthouse tutorial web (http://www.lighthouse3d.com/) is throwing me 403error forbidden. Don't you know what they are doing, or will it be in the future online? I helluva need it to my school.
It might be that they do something on their side , or if site requires some kind of auth , they didn't provided solution nor explanataion. Tried to load it , same happens. Might be that Apache server and mods has to be restarted or fixed. I got many times 403 error , like when I try to open www.openlicenser.org which also throws this error , and it wasn't fixed yet , I think.
As Rudolf said, the website is experiencing problems on server side.
But, if you want to check something urgently here is a useful link:

What does it means &sa=U&ei?

I have a website, today looking at the log, I found some request to a page from my server with appended this variable &sa=U&ei.
Could you tell me guys what &sa=U&e could mean? Could be an attempt to find Nullable Scrips? Could be a security threat?
&sa=U&ei=XuRBT92UFseYhQf_w7HeBQ&ved=0CNYBEBYwYw&sig2=Rt1Cr_FCPD1-6VYu__Oavg&usg=AFQjCNFlHVaDQL--kgDbOn2vNgUqwUOsTA
The error in my log is:
A potentially dangerous Request.Path value was detected from the client (&)

But nevermind. I found the offending culprit. Seems that for some
reason my "GoogleEnhancer" became "incompatible" with Firefox. It
worked fine even before I updated to 10, but go figure. And it wasn't
the whole add-on, it was the "Use Google Classic" radio button turned
on. I got this add-on after Google started making their search engine
so... oh, what's the word I'm looking for... umm... oh, yeah...
crappy!

I figured out what it is... I have an add-on called google enhancer
which obviously hasn't been updated properly of late. Disabled it and
it worked fine. Well that was a waste of a thread. Thanks for the help
though guys.
So, the unnecessary part of the request is created by an outdated add-on for Firefox, nothing serious. The visitors with that add-on have more problems than your website :)
Practically, it could just be simple url request.
And the random texts you are seeing could be an autogenerated random string to maintain sessions. As there seems nothing wrong with the URL, and those sa and ei simply means, that these get variables are assigned some values, which would then be used in your application, for may be session management or other purpose.
From the face of it, it doesn't appears to be any hackable stuff.
