blank page cached ONLY for homepage URL on Wordpress when using keyword monitoring

[Peter Booth]

Seth,

It's actually very easy to reproduce this issue - from a browser request http://musikandfilm.com/?a=b and you will see it. There are a couple of low level tools that expose some possible issues.

If you email me directly I can talk about this in more detail. Try peter underscore booth at me dot com.
