Wow, I would never have guessed that, from the number of times that I get the message "This server is currently not available due to maintenance or capacity problems". Or from the time it requires to load pages...

If the server ran out of bandwidth, you wouldn't be getting any message from the server, and pages wouldn't load at all. Also, multiple servers just call themselves the server. There is also the MYSQL server, the Apache web server, and the PHP server. I'm not sure which one is giving this message, but I have since optimized a lot of PHP code and MYSQL queries.

Between using WIFI and being on the other side of the Atlantic, there might be a slowdown for you. I often find that WIFI is slower than a direct ethernet connection to the router.

And why do you think it would require "gutting functionality"? Proper design is usually not an enemy of functionality.

I have no idea what improper design you have in mind. The code you mentioned serves a purpose, and getting rid of it would be gutting functionality.

Especially since in the shown case the banner is not 'squeezed out' at all: there is plenty of space to display it.

The banner is centered on the screen, and as soon as there isn't room for it to remain centered on the screen between the logo and the share widget, it drops down lower.
