Seeking help diagnosing load errors (possible CSS cleanup needed)

[The PL Team (d&e)]

Hey folks, we're focusing on optimizing the site because we have it right where we want it. We'd really appreciate if anyone with optimization experience could assist us with diagnosing some errors when loading pages.

We'd really appreciate the help =(

Our page stays as "loading" for minutes...

Would love to work in realtime, perhaps over AIM? We've even tested with nothing in the analytics box, all signs post towards messy CSS or some language editor snafu.

Yessir, tried removing that and all analytics codebox code. Same hangup on something...

Hi guys!

You have some code for woopra in the analytics box. It looks like you've got a bad url for the source:

//static.woopra.com/js/woopra.v2.js (missing the http: at the front)

I think that's causing the main issue. There are multiple ongoing requests to pinuplifestyle.com.woopra-ns.com.

In terms of overall page load, the tweetboard and jisbar code are each separately adding at least two seconds to the overall load time.

Modified that line thank you! Not sure if it'll break anything since it was pasted right off the Woopra setup page hah! I had disabled tweetboard and jisbar and everything else only to still find it hanging on something, literally it stays "loading" in safari for almost a minute...

[Phil McCluskey]

Hmm, maybe that's intentional so that they can easily parse the url that's hosting it from the request. I'm still seeing multiple requests to their servers so I don't think it's the culprit. Feel free to change it back :-)

There is definitely something up though. Let me check with some better tools and I'll shoot you a message.

If it'll help I'll clear out the analytics box to simplify.

Hey Phil, Are you using yslow, or can you post what you are using to check the load times?

Thanks

Hi Laura,

The Net tab on the firebug extension for firefox is great for looking at something quickly, and I've found Charles Proxy is best for profiling what's being loaded, how long it takes, and how heavy it is.
