Pages Seem to Load a Second Time

Deleted • 2 May 2015 at 8:58 PM

I honestly could not find a better title for the situation I've recently come across, which does seem to involve the ads others have previously reported here.

Every time I load onto another page in Egg Cave, it would seem like it's fully loaded at first, then I get a "Connecting" on my tab that lasts a few seconds before the page finally settles. This actually causes excessive slowness throughout my browser when more than one Egg Cave tab is loading simultaneously, which I mainly witnessed while snap-clicking links in Yarold's.

I used to not have this problem with NoScript and Ghostery running, and now, I'm feeling discouraged to click creatures at all. In fact, I've shifted the Egg Cave link to the list in my GreaseMonkey's Yarold's script to where it will automatically close tabs from Egg Cave along with every other site, and I never allowed GreaseMonkey to do that so I can manually feed other people's creatures. I think the ads that are trying to get through may be the contributing factor to this slowness and I comply if this is already being looked at.

I use FireFox, as expected by the addons I mentioned. I've seen this on both my Windows 8.1 laptop and my old XP tower, so I can't be having the same, possible ad tracking virus on both machines. If you need screenshots as proof, I can do that to further prove my dilemma.

I've actually been experiencing this issue as well.
I noticed it start happening after the InfoLinks down at the bottom of the page has been added and does not go away if you Opt Out of InfoLinks.

I'm not sure if it corresponds to this "refreshing/second loading" issue or not, but that's when I noticed it starting to happen.

I have this also, I also have like an outline of an add box pop up at the bottom of the page and then go away >.> It's happened multiple times and on about every page except a few that it happens on. Didn't know if that went with it or not. Though I got rid of infolink problem I had on my laptop a long time ago and hasn't come back

this has been happening to me as well. the lag is so bad that tabs will freeze for a few seconds before i can even close them (i'm using Chrome). usually i feed every creature i click on, through yarolds and the like, but now it's impossible to do in a timely manner and i have to skip a huge number of creatures just to save myself some patience.

like was described in the op, the tab loads, looks like it's finished loading, then refreshes itself.

edit
i would like to point out that pages are now refreshing twice, meaning the tabs load a total of 3 times every time i click on them from yarolds.
it seemed like this problem had been resolved, since the refreshing had stopped, but now it's worse than before.

besides that, when i try to use the exchange, tabs take ages to load and slow down my browser considerably.

you are not alone it happens to me lots if you have 50 or more creatures or items ( or both ) it will happen and the items don't have to be it the inventory it is just a lot to load and it misses things so it will reload itself or you did something to fast on the computer
