So there seems to be a .php file embedded into every page:
https://www.suse.com/common/util/secure/userInfo.php
that is making browsing the site a pain in the <curse><curse><curse><curse> butt.
It slows down rendering of pages usually by 4-5 seconds but on occasions it freezes the entire forum by up to 20-30 seconds - as you can imagine, this is starting to get rather annoying and as a matter of courtesy I’d love not to have to block www.suse.com/suse.com as I do right now.
Known issue?
Navigating around the forum I’m not seeing any noticeable slowdown from here.
With (Firefox) cache disabled typical page load time is around three seconds, often less.
I don’t see this. Not in FF, not in Chrome, not in Brave. Cache? Cookies? Tried another browser?
Yep, I talked to Malcolm in IRC about this - once I block this particular .php file from loading, everything is super snappy.
It’s rather weird - I wonder what it even does.
Update:
Seems the issue has gone the way of the dodo. No idea how or why but it seems to work fine now.
I blame gremlins.
