Seems like xo7 is down. Sorry, I should've done some research, and thanks for helping me.

Hi Jaden,

This problem should now be fixed, and your website now appears to be loading normally.

Thank you,

Thanks! How did they fix it?

A problem caused PHP scripts to fail to execute properly. This meant that dynamic sites would either load slowly, or it would display the 503 Backend Fetch Failed error. The issue has now been corrected.

No wonder my site got those errors! When it didn't, it loaded super slowly. I use a lot of PHP in my site.
