V11 running really slow

[woolnstuff]

Hi

Been running V11 for ages now without a problem but in the last couple of days it has started running really slow when adding new products or editing existing ones. I mean really slow like the screen going white with non responding at the top then coming back to life.

Any ideas what the problem is?

Thanks

Vickie

The usual suspect is having add / share buttons / SSL seals / tracking / stats images on the pages that are loading stuff that isn't local to your PC.

These should be blocked with a blockif to prevent them being loaded by actinic on your desktop.

You are loading JavaScripts from external sites:

http://w.sharethis.com/button/buttons.js
https://sealserver.trustwave.com/seal.js
http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js
http://google-analytics.com
https://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js

If any of these is slow, you'll have problems.
Best put a BlockIf of isNotPreviewMode around such code.

Thanks for that. Not very good when it comes to coding, what code do I need to use and where ?

Thanks

How did you so quickly see all the JavaScripts that her page was loading Norman? Is that a Firebug function?

I have long ago come to the conclusion that Norman has some sort of psychic power enable him to see into the workings of web pages...

Firefox / Control/Shift/U (which does view Source) / Control/F (to Find) / type in .js and hit Next until done.

So simple I'm embaressed..

I don't remember keyboard short cuts. But you could also load the web developer toolbar in Firefix and click view js.

Did Norman's suggestion fix your Slow Running issue Vickie? Interested as I have the same issue and removing the Add This code doesn't seem to cure it for me....

There are many pointers here that may help: http://community.actinic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=118

Hi Vickie
I have been having the same problem with the facebook like button. Also new to Actinic but figured the fix.

Highlight the facebook header code that you put in your layout.
Right click and Insert block
In the condition Editor click on the green button with + on
scroll down the list until you see IsNotPreviewMode
Select insert
Select Ok in the condition editor.
Your code will now have the block if around it.

This fix worked for me. I did not have to put the block around the actual html for the facebook button.
Hope this helps.

I had placed a call to Actinics Tec support on this as I am in the first 30 day, All they were able to tell me was "Its a known Problem" Was not offered a solution.

Hi

I've fixed it like Norman suggested but not had chance to add any new products today. So I'll guess I'll find out tomorrow.

Hi Vickie,

The code in this KB article should help:
