As far as I know that address has been deprecated in favor of http://bits.wikimedia.org/geoiplookup.
Well it is butt ugly and so slow and should be turned off until whatever its problem is resolved. Count to 30+ awaiting response. Any place that utilises javascript loads basically has to wait for the the problem to resolve before the js scripts can be activated. This includes English Wikisource with its header templates, and Wikidata with some of the helper scripts.
Is the problem one of these: 1. https://geoiplookup.wikimedia.org/ is offline/inaccessible when it should be accessible 2. https://geoiplookup.wikimedia.org/ is not supposed to be used any more and a script or other code is erroneously calling it. Has https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/90103/ got anything to do with it?

Ryan was amazeballs like always. Should be fixed within the hour (due to cache).
