I’ve also been having issued on IronFox Android when loading the forum from a progressive web app. I just chalked it up to my phone or firewall causing the issue as when I switched to the browser it loaded slower than before, bit faster than the PWA.
I’ll check on desktop and update with the log/network graph
chromium incognito
loads normally
librewolf private (w/ublock origin)
librewolf with all extensions
Weird I am not able to get the same bug as before. Maybe there was a intermittent lag spike when i was using it a hour ago on my phone?
throttling network
I tried messing around with the network more by simulating a 3G and slow 4g connection. The forum lagged like what I experienced on mobile
3G connection
slow 4G connection
inspecting the chunk
This javascript chunk might be the source of the lag
throttling my internet to a average/poor connection
It didn’t affect it as much, but it seems to be the same js script
- Download: 31 mbps (31000 kbps)
- Upload 14 mbps (14000 kbps)
- Latency: 100
- packet loss: 5%
How I got the numbers

That’s an incredible improvement from a decade ago, when the U.S. had an average download speed of just 31 Mbps. In 2013, America ranked 25th among 39 nations for broadband speed.
I’m not a web developer, but if I had to guess it’s probably a combo of slow internet + cloudflare being slow + discourse file being very large (12 mb)
