I'm trying to figure out what's going on with a pretty recent 3.17
Synchronet install. Static web pages serve up quickly, and javascript pages do, too -- but the browser's spinning icon signifiying a page load
continues to load for 5-7 seconds more.

Any suggestions on where to look?

Thanks!

Variables that might help to diagnose the issue:

http or https or both?

different browsers behave differently?

what does the browser dev console say is happening?

It looks as though some script isn't finishing. How up-to-date is your web UI?

Your sidebar never completely loads. It's possible that something in there is causing a problem. You can try temporarily moving items out of the sidebar/ directory one by one (staring with the nodelist / who's online module) to see if it helps.

if you use firefox, look at the Web Developer -> "Performance" and "Network" tools... start the performance tool recording and then load the web page in question... one or both should easily show you which parts are experiencing the
slowdown... don't forget to stop the performace tool when finished with it ;)

depending on your browser, it could also be preloading links so the site will appear faster...

Thanks for responding back so quickly regarding my web issue.

http or https or both?

I only checked HTTP.

different browsers behave differently?

I've tried with Firefox and Chrome, same response.

what does the browser dev console say is happening?

I'll play with it at home, at work the javascript pages time out with the error

ERR_INCOMPLETE_CHUNKED_ENCODING 200 (OK)

I grabbed the sbbs_dev, sbbs_run zips and downloaded ecweb4 last night.

I thought I tried that, will try again.

I was wondering if mismatched HTML like a <div> without a </div> would cause a problem, just grasping at straws.

I *think* this was happening a while back but was fixed (in the webserver). I may be mistaken.

You said your build was fairly recent. How recent is that?

I'll have to look this weekend when I have some time in front of the BBS. . What file would have been fixed? I'd like to look through the CVS log.

Probably websrvr.c, but could be something else. I only vaguely recall some kind of problem with chunked transfers within the past few months; this may be unrelated. If your build is 2+ months old it might be worth updating to see if it helps.

i think it was fixed in the Aug 2 updates to websrvr.c... not positive about that, though...
