Site is Sloooow to load lately for me (1 Viewer)

[dvdclon]

I don't think anyone has mentioned this, but the unresponsive script is reported as:


Script: http://cdn.static.zdbb.net/js/walker-min.js:1


I've also found some postings on other boards in the past few months with the same issue.

No resolutions have been indicated, though.

A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, open the script in the debugger, or let the script continue.

Thanks! I have passed this one and we are waiting for a response. I'll update you guys tomorrow or sooner if I hear back.

[Dave Upton]

Guys,

Is this still happening today? Apparently they have tried a fix.

 

[dvdclon]

Still happening as of this posting.


Thanks for looking into this!

IIUC everything on the page is hosted by the HTF server EXCEPT for the banner adverts.


The advertising server or servers are hosted elsewhere. It would appear to me that the "handshake" from the HTF software isn't working correctly, and the system hangs while waiting to receive the adverts from the advertising server(s). Apparently there's no watchdog clock on this handshake software.

Dennis,


The issue is just a javascript that the advertising network wrote that is misbehaving. Our server doesn't really handshake with anything, it just loads a small frame and the code is all from the ad network. If their code tries to do something that doesn't work, it can freeze.


That's basically what is going on. We are waiting for them to fix it.

I think this is correct. I was just watching the slow response on the "David Matychuk's Content" screen every time I'd come back from checking an item. Until the ads reloaded, everything was unresponsive.

The ad code is definitely what is causing the issue, but unfortunately it has nothing to do with the HTF software. Our server is only involved in the beginning.


We have tried a work around as of last night, so please let us know if the problem persists this morning.

I usually visit sites with Ghostery filtering web bugs, scripts, ads etc, (sorry, I know that's revenue), as they are often the culprt. I leave on web analytics as a primary owner tool to monitor site performance, usage, but turn off things identified as ads. I usually have to pause it for forum searches to work on some sites....


Okay, enough background. I just paused Ghostery filtering to do a thread search, clicked into one of the results, the page stopped scrolling or responding, and Firefox 37.0.1 complained that a script was taking too long, offered to stop it or debug it.

It does seem to be better today, it isn't freezing up when I attempt to post.

 

[dvdclon]

I've seen no more script timeouts in the past day and a half, so we may be OK now.


Thanks for rattling the appropriate cages, Dave!

 

[Dave Upton]

We hope it's resolved for good, but if it rears its ugly head again, please let us know.

Seems to be back to a reasonable speed between pages, etc. Good work!

Hmmm...

Lollipop just hit Android. The app is more sprightly...

 

[ChromeJob]

?:} 5.1, yes, but Lollipop's been out for months. I usually use Tapatalk, so these script-on-the-web issues don't hit me very often.

I wouldnt exactly call February(T-Mobile) and March (AT&T)..."months".

Especially since VZW didn't start the rollout till Monday.

Update. I still have issues when there are new posts. It is like clicking on thread 8,which "is now 9", is broken.

Closing the app and reopening is must faster with no hangups.

Chrome and Firefox via the phone are good now. Not sure when the G Pad gets Lollipop.
