Our articles are vandalized on Facebook

This is not the first time that we have discovered that our articles are being vandalized on Facebook (see, for example, blog of 13 November 2014, "Now the photo selected by Facebook is not the one that appears on Facebook"). This morning when I shared on our Network for Church Monitoring (N4CM) page the eye-opening article "Pope Francis and the Dirty War – Part I", I had to do so with the title and description gone:

When I share it on my personal Facebook wall or anywhere else, I get the same thing - no title and no description:

I first posted this article on 29 March, so I have been able to track it down on my personal wall. There was nothing wrong with it then:

I also made a screenshot of the article a few days after I shared it on the N4CM page on 29 March. Amazingly, I can't find this article anywhere on the page now. Again the title and the description can be easily seen:

UPDATE 1 (12.01pm): To our American web host SiteGround: "Our website is down again. Everything had been working perfectly since 17 April (we had no problems whatsoever). We have not been doing anything to the site other than adding articles as usual. We have also not touched the site's database. Please could you restore our website, and explain what has happened."

UPDATE 2 (12.33pm): SiteGround: "It appears that the Varnish caching service has stalled. I have restarted it and your website is visible now. Please check the results on your end."

UPDATE 1 (3.07pm): Our American web host SiteGround effectively tells me to reconstruct our Church and State website with a new WordPress theme? "As I mentioned before we cannot specify why exactly your application started spawning these slow queries. However, this is now [sic] in any way influenced by the server, the MySQL service is setup in similar fashion on the previous shared hosting server and the current Cloud solution."

UPDATE 2 (4.32pm): SiteGround replies to my request for the name of the person to whom I should write to escalate my complaint: "At this time your server is properly functional and your website is accessible.... Should you still require for the case to be escalated update this ticket."

Our Facebook post reach exceeds 3 million people despite a messed up site following SiteGround's upgrade, with one article reaching over 1.5 million people

Part 1 (14 April 2015): CHURCH AND STATE WEBSITE SUSPENDED. We exceed our limit of 100,000 visitors per month within two weeks (WITH UPDATE)

Yesterday SiteGround suspended our Church and State website because we exceeded our limit of 100,000 visitors per month within two weeks. The site is back now but it's a right mess. For example, this is a Google snapshot of what the top of our homepage looked like on 13 April 2015, before SiteGround restored it last night after an American-sponsored upgrade:

And this is what it looks like now:

The bottom of the homepage is even worse. This is what it should look like:

And this is what it looks like now:

The rest of the homepage is equally unrecognizable, as is every single item throughout the site. I got in contact with SiteGround about this last night. Late this morning they acknowledged that what I had before our upgrade is not what we've got now.
