Default Hangs on tag.contextweb.com

Hi,

SYMPTOMS: I'm seeing long delays 5-100s of minutes on 'tag.contextweb.com'. The problem has become especially severe the past 2-3 days to the point of making PriusChat nearly inaccessible.

CONFIGURATION:
  • Mac OS 10.5.8
  • ISP: AT&T via xDSL, 128 kbs
  • browsers: Safari, Firefox, Camino
WORKAROUND: When 'tag.contextweb.com' shows for more than a few seconds, hit "refresh" and many times, the web page will load and render.

I don't have a diagnosis but have captured the problem with 'tcpdump'. I have noticed a variable delay in opening a port up to 4 seconds. I'll do more detailed timing analysis later tonight.

Bob Wilson

I'm having the same problem with Linux and Firefox. The OS and browser shouldn't make a difference, as tag.contextweb.com is an advertising server supplying ads. I don't mind the advertisements, since they help pay the bills, but it makes me angry when the advertisers are too cheap to use responsive servers. Ideally a site should be designed so that slow ad servers only cause slow ad displays, not overall slow loading.

Same here this morning with FF. I haven't noticed extremely slow page loads before today. I have had occasional complete timeouts before today recently, resolved after waiting a few minutes and refreshing.

I've noticed this happening off and on for some time. Hitting stop and refresh will often clear the problem. It is annoying though.

I sent a PM to Danny but have no idea if it got through or if there much that can be done about it. I agree, I don't mind the ads until the block the content.

It was irksome this morning because I wanted to discuss an new technical approach but delays like this ... So I'm drafting the details somewhere else and will be in a final someday in the future. You can't work and think if the interface is too slow.
