Re: Turn off WU forecasts?
The issue with your site is caused by a webserver issue with DNS
Likely the nameservers listed in /etc/resolv.conf are having issues.. when tech support fixes that, the scripts requiring external site data (like WU-forecast.php) should return to normal operation.
DNS lookup times over 4 seconds indicate an issue with the webserver's DNS providers and should be addressed by the tech support at your hoster.Network error: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known (0)
HTTP stats: dns=20.022 conn=14.985 put=n/a get( blocks)=n/a close=n/a total=35.007 secs

Re: Turn off WU forecasts?
Also, you seem to be running an old version (Version 3.00 - 31-Oct-2014 on PHP 5.4.45) of WU-forecast.php
Other files in your site may also need updating, but unfortunately, the check-fetch-times.php?show=versions is failing due to the abovementioned DNS resolution issue. When it is resolved, I suggest you use the version checker to bring your site up to current revision levels.
Best regards,
Ken

Re: Turn off WU forecasts?
Mark,
If you check this link, it shows what modules/scripts are outdated.
http://www.marton-weather.co.uk/check-f ... w=versions
update these and you maybe see some benefits.
you also may what to tweak your apache/php setup and if you can, update PHP to 7.2, as it is faster.
Then use gtmetrix.com to try and get better results of page loads etc. Here's yours at present:
