I don't get any kind of a security violation notice or see anything
about Imperva.
The page remains blank and just tries to load and never finishes
loading. At the bottom of the GUI it says "waiting for" followed by a
web address which is not always the same. It is impossible to navigate
away from the page or close the tab. Any such attempt results in the
"Not Responding" message in the title bar. With Windows Task Manager
running, I can see the memory usage steadily climbing until it gets
close to 2600 MB, at which point SeaMonkey crashes and the Mozilla Crash
Reporter starts.
It is necessary to use Windows Task Manager to "end task" if you don't
want to wait a few minutes for it to crash.

Do I understand correctly that Imperva is security software the site

SeaMonkey team at least needs to take steps to prevent this from
locking up the browser as is happening now. I know how to kill the
process with Task Manager, but less computer-savvy users may be stymied.
I assume your browser access is not being blocked and it's the actual
page that's failing. The Imperva access denial page is very clear, as
the Don describes.
We don't really know why Imperva is blocking access. I did a web
search on "website blocked by imperva" and one of the first links it
threw up was
https://docs.imperva.com/bundle/cloud-application-security/page/error-codes.htm
Another was
https://docs.imperva.com/bundle/cloud-application-security/page/settings/security-settings.htm
- that could maybe help more.
There's a list of Client IDs and their codes in there, Firefox is 1,
Seamonkey is 45.
When I try and access https://www.jewelosco.com/ I get Error 16 and
the first link gives that as
The request was blocked based on your security settings (Bot Access
Control or Block Specific Sources) in the Cloud Security Console. For
details, see Web Protection - Security Settings.
Looking that one up (the last part of that text is a link), Block
Specific Sources can be used to block countries, IP-ranges or URLs (!).

As UA spoofing is ineffective it's likely that we are being blocked for
not being in the US and so not sufficiently interesting to the deluded
site owner as potential customers. Apparently if a US resident goes
abroad and wants to schedule a delivery for his/her/zer return he/she/ze
has to have a US VPN.
