A page is slowing down your browser

[peterfranks]

I always have multiple tabs open in my browser, with each tab a different website.

 

Recently my browser becomes unresponsive, and a message pop up at the top, saying 'a webpage is slowing down your browser, close down that webpage'

 

Do I need to say which webpage get closed down when I press that tab?

All thatmeans is that the page is heavier in content than the others,

Depsnds entirely on what you have open viewing what.

The super annoying pop-up ad that appears whenever I access Aseannow has some video ads now, and these can't be closed until the countdown timer is finished - on some slower cell connections these cause my system to slow.

I hate when AN overrule my media players. It is one of the things that make you considering quit this page beacause they do not care how the experience being here really is.

This morning it happened with only 2 tabs open, and it is always the same webpage that causes the warning.

 

Since it is posted here, it should be clear it is Asean Now.

Well then its clearly an IT issue not forum support.

On your browser you could use ublock origin and most of the ads go away.

 

If you're still having problems you could get a network-wide ad blocker like adguard home, pihole, pfblockerng, etc. Or you could just switch your dns server to adguard's ( ipv4 94.140.14.14, 94.140.15.15 and ipv6 2a10:50c0::ad1:ff, 2a10:50c0::ad2:ff) for a similar but less customizable experience.

I don't see a single ad, but clearly AN is pushing some kind of script that intervenes with my browser

Hmm I'm not experiencing the same. Takes 5s to load for me, cpu use goes to nominal after that initial stage and it takes ~85MB in memory. None of that is particularly bad for a modern responsive site. Which browser are you using?

Hmm, I also didn't say it wasn't loading fine, maybe try to read my posts.

 

It happens a few times a week that my Firefox (latest version before you suggest that) freezes and that popup appears. And it is always the same webpage that get closed, when I click on the 'close the webpage now' button

Chill out a bit, I'm not attacking you, I'm just trying to help troubleshoot your issue. I wasn't talking just about load times either, I'm talking about the whole function of the site. There's a spike on load for cpu and memory but after load as decompression and the javascript calls finish cpu goes to nominal and memory hangs around ~85MB per page...you might want to check about:processes on firefox to see if you're getting different results to see if there's a client-side problem but I'm done helping further at this point.

Good luck.

I joined this forum on July 3, and it has only been happening since.

 

Never seen that popup before July 3.

 

Java is disabled in my browser.

 

It also doesn't happen when scrolling through the site. I'm usually on another webpage, with AN open on the same page for some time already in a different tab, when the browser becomes unresponsive and the pop up appears.

 

Edit : Java console isn't even installed on my PC for quite some time already

Java is not the same as JavaScript. You don't need to install JavaScript because modern browsers come with a built-in JavaScript engine. If you really have disabled JavaScript completely on your browser that could be the reason for abnormal behavior from a ton of websites. One of the troubleshooting steps you should take is enabling JavaScript on this site and seeing if the problem persists.
