Forum Slowness/Slow to Refresh Pages

[Chris]

Network Monitor
The Network Monitor shows you all the HTTP requests Firefox makes (for example, when it loads a page, or due to XMLHttpRequests), how long each request takes, and details of each request.

Use it to identify which components are taking longer than expected to load when refreshing a page then post the results here for analysis.

-- there's one in Chrome as well

Sounds good - Let me know if there's any information beyond this you'd like.

I've attached a screenshots of the network monitor results.

load: 14.78 sec

Thanks for that!
Those screenshots, unfortunately, don't allow drilling down to see the details.


Can you right-click and COPY VALUE, then COPY ALL AS HAR and PM it to Michael and Scott as [code]HAR_CONTENT_GOES_HERE[/code].

It may contain sensitive information (e.g., IP, cookies, etc.), so don't post it publicly , and it should probably be vetted should they decide to forward it to me.




I am also seeing a lot of NS_BINDING_ABORTED, which suggests the page was reloaded asynchronously before it got a chance to finish loading. This NS_BINDING_ABORTED error is occurring mainly with the network request from two forum plugins 
Shoutbox Sounds (0V0YktWxgOkEgyn0kRHa.js)
 and 
Smiley Dropdown (cFhfrL0jK0wUFfnUVZuZ.js)

Since JavaScript was disabled^[1] and it still occurred. And it also occurred with no browser extensions installed^[2] that should have ruled out forum plugins and browser extensions. However, I am still concerned about the shoutbox plugin requesting www.soundjay.com/Beep-21.wav multiple times in that log and it keeps returning a 404 HTML error page(not the expected wav media type). Browsers are not supposed to parse returned HTML when they did not explicitly request it for security reasons, but in the spirit of being thorough, let's temporarily disable the shoutbox sounds plugin to rule out the browser trying to follow that 404 page when it is requesting a wav file and interrupting the page load.

Is it a manual refresh, or do you have an automated mechanism to periodically refresh the page? Can you let the page fully load so the logs can accurately record real-world load times? The hard refresh is causing the browser to ignore the expiration times on the items in cache and reach out directly to the server basically asking "is what i have in cache up to date" which basically negates the speed the cache was intended to provide.

A log with all forum plugins and browser extensions disabled might be enlightening as well since it was stated that it still occurs in that scenario

- Manual Refresh.

Can you let the page fully load so the logs can accurately record real-world load times?
- Is there something suggesting the pages aren't fully loading? AFAIK, they are loading properly.

The hard refresh is causing the browser to ignore the expiration times on the items in cache and reach out directly to the server basically asking "is what i have in cache up to date" which basically negates the speed the cache was intended to provide.
- Those words sounded like English.

- I'll give it a try.

- I have the code but it's too large to send as a PM. How should I send it over?

You can email it to [e-mail] as an attached text file.

Thanks!

Just sent it. Let me know if there are any issues with it.

I am working on digging through this today. I will update when I can!

[hrungr]

Appreciate it!

Any luck so far?

Just wanted to quickly give this a bump and see if you've had a chance to look into this.

Thanks!

It's been another month, so I just wanted to give this a bump again and see if any progress has been made with this issue.

Thanks!
