The problem developed recently. When I click on the bookmarked page, the message appears with my usual home screen image ghosted in the background. If I do a Google search for "New Google Sites" and select it, it takes me to my home screen, but the unavailable message is also there already. If I do a search for the name of one of my Google Sites, there is no problem--I can open the site and edit it without any issues. My impression is there is a compatibility issue with New Google Sites of some kind.

I created a test Google Site once. When I load that now, I get an overlay about the new Google Sites (see attached screenshot). If you already converted your site, you may not see that, I'm not sure. If you have the dark gray part but not the slides that appear in front of it, an ad blocker or other content blocker might be hiding that from you.
