Simultaneous browsing of multiple community site pages cause

Posted by Lieven De Foor on 18-Nov-2014 05:52

Hi,

I usually have the habit of opening multiple interesting threads in a separate browser tab (chrome), and afterwards start reading them.

I've noticed that when I'm opening 3+ tabs on the community site, the webserver seems to stop serving me, and I have to wait endlessly, watching a blank page and rotating cursor.

If I do the same browsing using only one tab in Chrome, everything works as it should.

Is the community webserver somehow limiting the maximum number of simultaneous requests/connections to a single client. If so, could this please be increased to a more realistic number than 3?

Thanks!

I'm seeing "Waiting for available socket" in the status bar of Chrome, if that can help identify the problem...

Never encountered that issue.
 
Do you know, if that might be an issue with a Proxy server in your office?

I've never had any issues on other sites, and I tend to use that pattern a lot... (as far as I know we don't use a proxy server either...)

Hi all,

I have seen "Waiting for available socket" sometimes too... In most of the cases it's when I had more than 5 tabs open on Community. As soon as I closed 1 tab then it went back to normal.

I'll report the issue back to our platform vendor.

I noticed same behavior described by [mention:04e040a388574bee96c841b1935762a5:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] .

Web server stops serving me and on blank pages, I can see "Waiting for available socket" message. If you close any of the open loaded tabs, the page(which was blank) loads instantly.

It seems web server is limiting the number of connections

Glad too see I'm not the only one experiencing this... Let's hope for a quick fix.

Meanwhile I'll limit my number of open tabs...

As I said, I opened a support ticket with our vendor and got the following answer back: " Chrome limits the number of connections made. I've searched and been unable to find a way to increase the number of connections it will make. "...

I'm skeptical ... I'm very sure I have had more than three open at once.

I have 5 tabs open in chrome (latest version) for the community site, plus 6 more for other sites right now.

Posted by Thomas Mercer-Hursh on 18-Nov-2014 13:24

I have 6 open on Communities and 60 in all.

Not as much as Firefox, which kept eating more and more until it crashed.  There aren't always that many, but close.  I just happen to have a bunch of pending research in progress.
