Hi, i'm facing a really annoying problem.
My browser takes ages to load a page. I mean, the top div gets loaded very fast (as you expect) but the rest takes about 1 minute or more to load the rest of the page.
I have this strange problem only if working in my notebook. With my mobile everything works like a charm.
Is someone in the same situation?
Is XDA doing some maintenance stuff or something?
Thanks
Was having this issue yesterday during work but today it seems to be gone. Could have been an issue with something down the line (DNS, regional routing, whatever) that just caused a temporary slow down.
Short answer is no you aren't alone. Should be gone by now or soon.
I hope so, thanks
i have the same problem
I think I found a solution (even if it is not absolute).
Go to you profile page and set the sytle (at the bottom of the page) at xda classic
Now try to navigate... it is as fast as it should be.
At least, it is for me!

Yesterday in particular the site was slow because we had processed some upgrades that didn't go quite right. Things should be good now.
Thanks for the reply.
I'm still having the problem.
However, I tries my "solution" on another machine, and it works too.
If it can help other user, you can add to FAQ main page.
I hope it's only a matter of time as the 2010 theme is really pretty. The classic one is just a little bit... old-fashioned.
so many background scripts running, because too much function and too much rules.
post limit to access certain service, wth....
i got bugs to inform the developer but ending to make several useless posts here first.
xD
If xda very slow, be patient!
works well for me
I think i didn't get your point...
I just tried to understand what is happening here...
I also found out that changing theme speed-up the loading process, and i want to share this with other user that are having these same issue... if you want to wait ages to check a page you are free to do so, but please leave other do what they prefer!!
It occurred to me quite often in the last months but, probably, I was "great" enough to decide loading xda when they perform the maintenance of the forum...
Today i noticed a very slow loading here...
I checked my ping and noticed that everytime i open XDA my ping goes from 20ms to 1500-2000, even after not loading any threads and leaving the PC alone for many minutes. When i close XDA, ping goes down to normal.
Please fix it. Maybe some buggy ads or something else.

I think it's media.xda-forum-com... My browsers goes stuck right there.
also cdn.viglink.com is blocking for a long time
Can you please fix it?
Fix available (at least for me):
change DNS in your router config to the ones offered by opendns...
Now everything works like a charm.
i shouldn't have posted this here! just notice what section I was in (found this thread in a search)
i'm using ie9 and when i post a reply(not quick reply) and I try to click my mouse pointer in between letters of the words I type, the mouse pointer is not displayed.

It comes and goes...Its fast again now, but most of the time its painfully slow.
What is very strange is the nature of this speed problem.
When I request a page, it sits there fo like 40 seconds , and then suddenly loads the page quickly. This tells me its not a bandwidth issue. Either there is a config problem on the webserver, or it simply is putting requests in a queue or something.

Is anyone else having this issue yet? I have asked this on the rom development page and it seems that I may be the only one experincing this.
I have NRG's 10\28 rom loaded and I have removed many of my installed programs and I can not get the Office programs to load quickly. I have Nrg's rom 10\17 or so loaded on my wife's phone but hers doesnt seem to be doing this.
I am suspecting that it is something that I am installing that is doing this but I am not sure.
I have even downloaded the office 2010 beta today and it stil does it.
It does stop doing it for about a half a day if I reboot many times till it behaves, but then after about a half a day, it is back to taking more than 60 seconds to open word or excell, then about 20 ot 25 seconds to close it.
Any ideas??
Thank you all for looking at this.
Jeff
Takes no more than a few seconds max on my Tilt 2, I don't know man.
Same porb here, i dont think its a ROM issue as it did the same thing on most of the roms i flash. i just thought i was a WM thingi, and the worst part is it takes near 10 sec to open a NEW word doc..

Finally, someone else is also having this issue.
I have a slightly older version of the Energy rom on my wife's phone and hers is always fast to open.
I have been uninstalling programs one by one to see if one of them is affecting it.
What I have found is that as I install a couple, it will start working good, then a a few hours later, it goes to 1 min to open again.
And I am not even opening a file, just click on the excell icon, so that eliminates the bad file thing.
I will let you know what I find.
So do you have many apps installed? I have a lot, to many to mention here at this time, but if you only have a few, please list them and I will see if there are any in common between us.
Thanks,
Jeff
I had this problem on my AT&T Tilt 1 a long time ago. I was able to isolate the cause of the problem to sending/receiving Email over mobile data (wouldn't happen if the update was via wifi). Unfortunately the only thing that solved my problem was a hard reset .

interesting you mentioned wifi, i just observed today that it does not take a long time to open when i am on wifi, then i switched to no wifi, and it was taking lont time to open excel.
turned wifi back on and sure enough, excell opened quickly.
i then turnrd off my wifi network plugin, (disabled my map network drive) and now it seems to be opening excell just fine reguardless of wifi or not.
i will continue to test this ane report back.

Office Mobile looks for any files of the appropriate type (e.g., *.doc files for Word) on your device to open prior to loading. Before reading this last comment I was going to suggest removing your storage card, but if you have network drives mapped it's probably attempting to reach those while loading but timing out if they're not available.

So as long as I dont have my "enable Network Folder" clicked on the HTC's Network Plugin, it all works good. As soon as I click that, and enable the network folder, then it takes forever to open office unless I have the wifi turned on.
Man I have been fighting this for months, not sure if it was a rom thing or something that I was intalling.
I hope that others who have this issue can find this post and fix thier stuff too.
Here some searchable key words, pleae add if I am missing:
Office Microsoft Excell Word forever long time
I clean installed (RAR file) the Blazn build w/ sound a couple of days ago. Now I having a lot more stability issues and Navigation freezes up every time I open it. I have searched through google and on here, and I see people with the same problems with the new build but no solutions or acknowledgement that multiple users are having issues like this. Here is what I did.
I go into google maps to insure I have a GPS fix. It finds me within 2 meters or so. I then go into navigation. It doesn't give me the location error because I have a GPS lock. I then type in the address I want to go to. I have the bar at the bottoms saying "Getting GPS" or something like that. In the middle of the screen it has the "getting directions" or whatever it says, but the little spinning circle animation freezes up. If I click to try to get to the menu. Android tells me it is not responding and I can Force Close or Wait. I force close. Of course Android opens it back up. I then hear the first voice prompt of where to go on my directions. When I click on Navigation to get back into it. It shows me the next turn, but freezes up again. This will go on forever until I force maps and navigation to close manually for good by going into settings and force stopping the processes.
I thought maybe it was the Blazn build, so I renamed the boot directory to something else and clean installed (using the RAR file) the stock build. While it is more stable and I don't get as many random crashes of apps and processes, I still get the same problem with Navigation.
I also have tried to format and attempted to clean install both builds and still have the same problem.
Is there any Sprint customer able to get navigation to work and not crash? I am thinking this is a CDMA/Sprint problem only, and it has something to do with the app accessing the sound, or at least that is my hypothesis, because it was working in all prior builds up to this one.
Any suggestions or thoughts?

I love you guys... I have lurked here for months and xda-developers for years. I love how you post toward people that don't post all the time. You treat them like idiots, crazy people or whiners.
I am not freaking out. I am not a newb. Is this not the place to post problems with the xandroid project? I am posting a problem that I have not seen posted on here before. I am not complaining about the usual stuff that still isn't working. I understand it is a work in progress. I was just posting a new problem that has come up since the sound started working. I did this so that potential programmers will see it, and to also see and get feedback on whether other Sprint users or other carrier's users are having the same problem, or if theirs is working fine.

Thats what we are known for .. but think about this.. where would the dev process be without us ? lol ..So sorry for treating you like one of the crazies ..
My advice is to hit up PPC geeks since most of the cdma community is there. Fyi, im not involved with xdandroid. Just with the kernel development and Those have really nothing to do with one another. However we do cross paths from time to time. Also dont be afraid to joint the irc chat for xdandroid. People there will be able to give you a better idea of whats up.
Ever since the big website update most pages on here are not constantly reloading over and over. I have to hurry and click a link to view a thread or make a post before the pages reloads again. Anyone else having this issue, and is their a solution for it?
Using Firefox 13.0.1 + ABP + NoScript.
Sounds like a buggy plug in or extension in your browser. Disable them all and then add back one by one until you find the culprit.
Doesn't seem to be doing it anymore.
I've heard of this issue when members are using the NoScript plugin. If you allow xda-developers.com it should load the page without issue. I've been trying to track why it will reload when using NoScript but haven't figured it out yet. Let me know anyone determines why that happens and I'll fix it.

I think the main culprit is the googletagservices.com ... allowing only that one in NoScript stopped the constant reloading of the pages at xda Forums ... for me at least.

I do believe you're right. Earlier today the problem returned, probably because I have been viewing direct thread urls/bookmarks rather than navigating the forum lately. I kept trying to temp-allow scripts between page reloads one at a time but none worked...up to and including everything being allowed which I would imagine rules out NoScript. Just now I blocked everything but the main page script and the one you mentioned and that seems to have worked.
Edit: Nope, no dice. I went to the Captivate section and saw no sub-sections so I allowed and disallowed scripts until I found the one that displayed those sub-sections which is the Googleapis.com script. The second I allowed that(with googletagservices and main site script still allowed) the page went in to the infinite reload loop again. I tried to revoke the permissions of googletagservices and it made no difference.
When I revoke googleapis permission to run the page instantly stops reloading, but as mentioned above it delivers content necessary to the forum. In order to navigate the forum I need that script permitted and I have to race to click links before the page reloads.
I'm only an occasional visitor to XDA, and hit this problem today. I'm using Firefox with noscript. Allowing skimresources.com with noscript stopped the reload problem for me. I already had googleapis.com allowed.
Cheers,
Simon.
I just finished temporarily allowing 30+ scripts and the reload loop seems to have stopped. This website has more scripts than any website I have EVER seen in my time of having noscript installed.
Still can't figure out what script needs to be disabled so googleapis can stay enabled. With this ridiculous amount of scripts it'll take me an hour to figure it out. -_-
ETA: With all scripts running the pages are now constantly loading. Right now it's loading something to do with the liftdna script. My advice? Cut the scripts down to 5 or less because 30+ is unacceptable and problematic.
ETA2: Results from WebPageTest when I ran forum.xda-developers.com in it. Not sure if this has anything worthwhile in it.

If you allow *.xda-developers.com this should allow the proper scripts to run. The issue is that NoScript will allow forum.xda-developers.com to run, but not the CDN files hosted on another hostname.

The only script like that I'm seeing in the list is xda-developers.com with no prefix.
I'm not sure what I did yesterday but it has been stuck in a reload loop since then. The last time it did this it randomly started up again.
Reloading Issue Resolved
After reading this thread I had an idea. I figured that the constant reloading was definitely due to a script-like extension. Although, I'm on Chrome. The culprit for me was AutoPager. Disabled that and everything loads no problem. Hope this helps some people.
Still stuck in a re-load loop for me both in Firefox 16 and 17 while using no script. Haven't been able to find a working combination yet without disabling the plug-in completely.

Same here. Googleapis has to be loaded for full forum functionality, but it's what causes the reboot loop for me.
I've just gotten really good at hitting the stop button. Oddly enough, I'm not running no-script.
........
...........................................
This happens to me in Chrome (24.0.1312.14 beta-m) from time to time. A refresh / change of page usually makes it go away, but still annoying.
All extensions disabled and it still happens.
annoying
really annoying these constant reloads that are bugging me.
what an irony that a developer forum is not able to solve this :cyclops:
Still happening to me after disabling ABP and whitelisting XDA in noscript.
Same here...
Haven't been here for some time, but now that I upgraded FF to 17 (& have NS installed) the reloading problem happened to me too.
Use "Quick Theme Chooser" at the bottom of the page and change to "---- XDA 2013 Beta - 1024" theme.
Hi,
for some time now, I can't access https://www.xda-developers.com on two different Windows machines with firefox. Trying to access the site, I will see the black bar at the top for a second or so, then the screen just turns white and firefox keeps loading to death.
Works with chrome on the phone, though. Would anybody know what might be the issue here?
Having the same problem on my PC, using Waterfox. Can load the forums but not the main site.
Updated to the latest version of WaterFox and can view the site again.
Hello
I write to Webmaster XDA and he was experiencing an DDoS attack. Now is resolved.
Best Regards
How come XDA is so slow in general?
Long ping time when clicking on a link on the site or loading a new page? Long loading times etc.
I know Leaseweb is fast because I have dealt with them in the past...but its only XDA that I find very slow to go to.
Sometimes the xda does not load and it could be the ddos as mentioned above.
But it cant have ddos attacks all the time?
The server admins have been doing a lot of work on this lately and the situation should be improving. Thank you for your patience.
Borked again for the last 2 days now.
Posted this in another thread because I didn't know where else to. Getting the same thing, some clicks are taking over 10s to even respond (they were upward of 25s yesterday). It's not a server problem, I'm 3ms to leasweb, even less to their cdn. Anything hitting that is fine.
It's like half the site is loading from India or they are having some serious capacity problems (cache hot requests fair better for example). With threads having hundreds if not thousands of pages, trying to read 8 at a time is atrocious.
Is RSS or something else available?
