About two and a half hours ago I was about to hop on the site and decided to convert one of my ornate floral pitchers to a spare harvest potion. When I went to go do that, I found I couldn't get the site to load any more and it meant I missed out (had to go for a doctors appointment).

Any idea who or what killed the site?

Could've been an internet mishap on your end, or a bit of flash maintenance, or a connection hiccup on a server's part. It happens.

I wouldn't worry about it too much-- Fireside goes until midnight tomorrow, so you should be good to go. If nothing else, you can always try and trade an ornate floral pitcher for a harvest potion, since people are pretty chill about that sort of thing.

Oh snap I keep forgetting that the site is a day behind where I live (not quite a day) and figured it ended at 3pm my time lol.

Thanks for pointing out my memory slip :)
