I’m in the process of setting up a node.js app and just got it working on my local machine, but it’s not loading on friends or family’s laptops or my phone.
I followed the instructions in https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-a-node-js-application-for-production-on-ubuntu-18-04.
I have a few suspicions about what might be causing the problem, but I’m very new to this and wanted to see if you all had any suggestions. In descending order of suspiciousness:
Redirect - Make all requests redirect to secure HTTPS access
node -r esm server.js
(with ES6 code, arrow functions and the like). I’ve been testing with the newest versions of Chrome so this shouldn’t be a problem, but I’m not sure, esp. if I’m not using Babel properlyThese answers are provided by our Community.

Hi there @alexwbi95,
As the site is loading as expected at your end, it sounds like that it might be the DNS propagation in case that you’ve just recently changed your DNS records. Or it could also be your firewall block the connections from any other IP addresses but yours.
What is the exact error that you see when the site fails to load?
