Fram website down

[bigdavep140]

Went to Fram website to look up a filter and it's not loading correctly, no images and links not working.

I reckon the First Brands Bankruptcy has something to do with it. Fram filters are 75% off at my local Advance Auto Parts.

Can confirm

Went to Fram dot com & this is what I see. May be a hosting issue or they're not paying their bills. Doesn't look good. I already know there is 0 customer support.

The site has been disabled

Contact your service provider for more information.

That's the same message Raybestos had on their site until this redirect

Centric is disabled now, too

It's not "down". It loads, but it's very broken, yes.... Just looks like their image server is down though.

The Fram Ultra inventory at my Canadian Tire is looking sketchy. Still lots of Extra Guards. The OE Plus filters made by Champ are also thinned out.

I just went to Fram.com and it looks OK now, so must have fixed the issue.

Everything works like it should for me.

So unlikely to be an unpaid bill, nor aliens.

I would also point out that the talented/marketable/desirable IT staff have probably started to abandon the sinking ship, or have been let go because they're probably the higher paid ones.

Their website will be hosted by an outside firm, so the internal IT staff will have next to nothing to do with this.

 

[rijndael]

Just because it's hosted somewhere doesn't mean the Fram staff don't operate/control/design/maintain it.

We host stuff in multiple cloud companies, including using Akamai for CDN, and we still fully support it.

With their current "dilemma" we can reasonably assume the worst when stuff like this happens so "unlikely" becomes much more likely. It looks like either the issue was brought to their attention, Site update gone wrong or it fixed itself?

Wonder if they're not liking the experience 1st brands has brought to the quality of manufacturing Amsoil filters so no loss. Speculating only..
