It's a feature which is not a great deal of use, frankly. What it does is to automatically fetch and cache a specified web page at regular intervals, so if you want to view that page you can view the most-recently-cached version very quickly without having to actually connect to the website and download it.
There are various problems with this:
1) It's not very reliable - pages often just don't get downloaded for no very obvious reason.
2) The most frequently that the page can be refreshed is once per hour - and if you visit a page regularly enough that you might be interested in caching its state, you normally need it to be more up to date than an hour old.
3) It keeps Opera (the browser) constantly in memory, which uses up a bit of RAM you could otherwise use for something else.
4) The gain in speed really isn't that great if you have a decent 3G connection.
5) If the page is refreshed at all regularly it adds to the drain on the battery.
ok thanks

So my first issue I encounter was like this:
Tablet: Ipad 3rd generation running iOS 6
Browser used: Safari
Website I tried to visit: www.forum.xda-developers.com/index.php
Problem: Website stays blank and empty. However on my computer (Win 7 Google Chrome no issues)
Any tips?
Performed selfsteps:
- Reboot device (multiple times)
- Deleted date of safari
All the other websits of forum.xda-developers.com seems to work without issues. I've made several posts today with my iPad
(yeah I know this is more of a android website)

recent changes causing continuous refresh of page
I use Firefox 22.0. I have NoScript installed.
About a week ago, whenever I come to XDA, my page refreshes continuously. I have to hit the "stop" button at just the right moment to get the loop to stop long enough for me to read anything.
I tried temporarily allowing all scripts on this page. This did not change the behavior.
P.S. This only happens if I am logged in. If I log out, behavior returns to normal...

Le bump..
Now we need to collect more issues and perhaps fixes
Restarting Firefox 23.0.1 in safe mode stops the looping, but all of the Search for Your Device and QuickLinks drop downs from the menu open behind the ad at the top of the page.
no issues

I would love to be able to fix this issue, but I can not recreate this problem so I can't push a fix. Any web developers seeing the reloading problem who can point out the issue?
The only thing I can figure out is that it seems to happen to people with NoScript or AdBlock installed, but I've run the site with both and it doesn't happen to me (in multiple browsers/os). But then again, some people say they don't have it installed and it still does the reloading.
Changing to the 2013 - 1024 theme seems to fix it for folks.
I use an Adblock and I have no issues with the website in that matter. The only thing I encounter at the moment is that I need to login on every page. It seems like I can't be remembered for some reason. Will clear cache tomorrow tho.

That's a Chrome issue. I don't have to login every time I go to a new thread but it asks me to login every few hours. Loads of people have reported the issue but afaik there's no known fix other than using a different browser.
I even get logged out on Opera Mini, though I get logged in after clicking on any link on forum, so I don't think it's only Chrome issue
Good Answer!

Thank you. That seems to have worked for me. I changed to the theme, have closed and reopened the browser, logged in and out and it seems to have stopped....

And XDA is crashing my Chrome desktop browser again...
It always happens when trying to load the ads. I'm running a new computer with windows 8.1. No browser extensions.
For such a tech-oriented site, this is kind of sad. You really need to reign in your advertisers. It's been 2+ years of these issues.

This has nothing to do with the original issue. Ads should not be able to crash the browser. I've had them get very slow, we try to weed out any advertisements that are unduly taxing to system resources. We don't pick which ads run on the site. If you are still having issues, you can open a new thread with a full description of the problem. It doesn't sound like it would just be XDA if your computer is crashing.
Closing thread for now as original issue is fixed.
The battery is discharging at a very fast pace without any active application. The operating system uses a very high percentage and it seems the culprit. I have performed a hard reset and remains the same. I not know how to upload images and "ALL new users prevented from posting outside links in their messages".

What ROM in which version?
The files you trying to link to pointing to a forum where one have to be registered to get those files.
Use better battery stats or OPG pro to find out what process behind system is draining battery.

I was trying to review Gravity Toolbox MM
There is a 'Major issue loading the forum homepage, accidentally if its clicked.
It loads nearly 10+ MB of data (which almost kills the entire browser and takes too much memory specially when browsing on PC).
Suggestion - Remove the description from forum homepage, keep the same on forum display pages only.. will save lot of load time.
Thanks.
