It looks like Googlebot has timed out, at least once, for one of our URLs. Why is Googlebot timing out? My server is located at Amazon WS, in North Carolina and it is a small instance. Could Google be querying multiple URLs at the same time and jamming my servers? Could it be becauseThanks for your help!

okay I was able to pull your site code so you know it works on the newest version of Web Kit which is based on Safari only for me.
You have some large coding issues that are most likely preventing you from being indexed properly.
Your page structure is not allowing Google to read anything. Google can only read 16 words from your home page this is making Google bot think there is nothing there and is not a useful webpage. You also still have an issue with the forwarding to a
#welcome
the two links below will show you what Google bot is able to see when indexing your website.
http://www.feedthebot.com/tools/spider/test.php
http://totheweb.com/tools/spider-test/index.php
this shows the problem get your header and your structure theirs a lot of junk and no real words for anyone to read.
you can also use

to check your site through Moz another superb tool to use is screaming frog

the reason I believe this is happening is you are using Ajax preventing Google from reading your site correctly. Here is a link talking about how you can fix this. The reason I believe this is because of the hash tag
"AJAX URLs, that is, URLs containing a hash fragment, for example www.example.com/index.html#key=value, where #key=value is the hash fragment."

you may want to consider using a boilerplate I would build the site out of wordpress as its architecture is superb and you would not have these issues.

Your website is currently not showing up properly in my browser. I have used chrome, Safari and Firefox.
Currently your site shows 14 indexed pages in Google
site:www.memovalley.com
can you tell me when website was created?
Was there a recent change because for some reason your website is redirecting to
did you add a tracking system that is adding this to your links?
site:www.memovalley.com/#!welcome
the other odd thing is your blog http://blog.memovalley.com/ showing a favicon for Wordpress.com meaning it is hosted there on WordPress.com not with a true separate hosting companies like you said you were using Amazon
I have to be able to see your site code in order to tell you why Google bot is timing out on me run some quick tests with other tools and I will post very quickly

URLs dropping from index (Crawled, currently not indexed)
I've noticed that some of our URLs have recently dropped completely out of Google's index. When carrying out a URL inspection in GSC, it comes up with 'Crawled, currently not indexed'. Strangely, I've also noticed that under referring page it says 'None detected', which is definitely not the case. I wonder if it could be something to do with the following? https://www.seroundtable.com/google-ranking-index-drop-30192.html - It seems to be a bug affecting quite a few people. Here are a few examples of the URLs that have gone missing: https://www.ihasco.co.uk/courses/detail/sexual-harassment-awareness-training https://www.ihasco.co.uk/courses/detail/conflict-resolution-training https://www.ihasco.co.uk/courses/detail/prevent-duty-training Any help here would be massively appreciated!

Mobile Google Not Indexing Mobile Website
Google currently does not index our mobile website. It has the WWW website in it's index. When a user from a mobile phone clicks on a mobile search result for WWW we redirect them to our mobile website. This is posing problems for us as our mobile website is a fraction of the # of pages/sections as our WWW. So for example, mobile search results show that we have a "careers" section; but that's not the case for the mobile website. As a result a user gets a 404. How do we force mobile Google to index our mobile website instead of our WWW?
