Was your domain recovered from a phishing site? It's blocked at my university.

Bolt.com has a huge history, including video-sharing that may have gotten it on those types of lists several years back.

We've had it for close to 3 years though.

Thanks. I'm willing to bet my school's IT dept hasn't updated any of their network software in like 5 years, so that's not surprising. It's specifically tagged as phishing.

Side-note: The link on HN goes to plain HTTP, hopefully you have HTTPS all set up!

Makes sense.

And yea thanks, the site auto-redirects to HTTPS.

If your domain has a mixed past, I'd strongly recommend registering a new clean domain (boltapi.net or similar) and loading all your checkout critical components from that.

Ah interesting suggestion, will consider it, thanks dsl.
