Okies, I'm saying that geocoding takes a finite time, a relatively
long time in terms of server-side script execution. Your data has to
go off to Google and a reply come back.   Exactly how long this takes
is unpredictable but the average will usually vary by time of day
because server workloads and internet traffic varies by time of day.

We don't know how your server side script handles this delay.
Does it just wait forever? (probably not!)
Does it wait for a fixed time, i.e. a timeout period?  Could be, if so
how does it handle a timed-out request .... your script might retry
the request.  Or it might display an error message. Or it might send
empty data to your webpage... ?
Or your server script might handle it asynchrously, which is whole
topic in itself, but often trips people up.

On top of that, there are various reasons why Google might reject your
request temporarily, and not send you the data, but send an error code
instead.  Mike knows this will happen sooner or later, which is why
he's banging on about what your server script does if it gets a
response like that ... guessing that it blindly carries on as usual
and sends empty data to your webpage.
