Keep Getting 503 Service Unavailable

Since installing Yosemite I keep getting :503 Service Unavailable message when I click on URLs. BUT, when I click a second time it goes to the web page. Annoying. Any ideas?? Thanks

Back up all data.

From the menu bar, select

System Preferences... Network

If the preference pane is locked, click the lock icon in the lower left corner and enter your password to unlock it. Then click the Advanced button and select the Proxies tab. If any proxy options are selected, make a note of them and then deselect them. You don’t need to change the bypass or FTP settings. Click OK and then Apply. Test. The result may be that you can't connect to any web server. Restore the previous settings if that happens.
