Body

Hello, my GitHub Pages site is not reachable even though the deployment succeeds.

Repository: https://github.com/LegacyGideon/My-First-working-portfolio
Pages URL: https://legacygideon.github.io/My-First-working-portfolio/

The repository is public. Pages is configured to deploy from main / (root), and the latest Pages build and deployment completed successfully for commit 0179bfbfa19172da2daa8ba5e71a1d71f4ab6b9e. However, the site URL times out with ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT in my browser. It also fails from my phone using mobile data. The GitHub repository itself loads normally.

Could someone help identify why the published Pages hostname is not serving this project site, or suggest what configuration or diagnostics I should check? Thank you.

The site itself is up. https://legacygideon.github.io/My-First-working-portfolio/ loads for me right now with a 200 from GitHub, it redirects on to Working%20Files/index.html and that page loads too, and the Pages API shows your latest commit (0179bfb) as built. So the problem is somewhere between your devices and GitHub's Pages servers, not in your repo.

A timeout (instead of a 404) means the browser never got an answer from the server at all. The quickest test is to open https://octocat.github.io/ on the same phone. If that times out too, every github.io site is blocked for you, not just yours, which would also explain why github.com itself works fine. Since it happens on both Wi-Fi and mobile data, I'd look at anything that stays with the device on both networks, like a VPN, a DNS or ad-blocking app, or a Private DNS setting. On a computer, nslookup legacygideon.github.io should give you 185.199.108.153 through 185.199.111.153. If you get different addresses or nothing at all, DNS is sending you somewhere else.
