kennysarmy Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 When we try to view online magazines on ISSUU using IE9 the pages takes minutes to load! eg. ISSUU - IC Journal 16 by Inter Cars Romania When we try the same page using firefox or chrome it works straight away. Can someone with IE9 try and access the above link please and let me know if it loads or if the issue is with our setup? We are on the latest version of flash... We also have an on-site smoothwall.... Thanks
featured_spectre Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 Works fine here on IE9 and IE10. Its a bit slow, dont get me wrong but not minutes to load (took no more than 30 seconds to load up)
kennysarmy Posted March 6, 2014 Author Posted March 6, 2014 Just tested on a PC with IE 10 and it also takes ages for the page to render....

featured_spectre Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 tested now on a few machines. Windows XP and Windows 7 Running Chrome, FF, Safari or IE IE takes the longest to load out of the browsers, and this is across XP and 7. Otherwise they all work ok.
kennysarmy Posted March 6, 2014 Author Posted March 6, 2014 Loaded instantly for me on IE9 and Firefox. You bugger!!! What could be causing our IE to take so long to load the page? Once it loads it's fine....
bossman Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 Are you using Smoothwall? Got exactly the same problem using a staff account and this site has been unblocked, no reports from the Smoothwall box to state why? Here is the report window:

Here is the report window: [ATTACH=CONFIG]23185[/ATTACH] Yes we are using a smoothwall, but if we change to our standard SWGfL proxy it's the same! Going to have to create a test user and PC and strip off all our Group Policies to see if some lockdown setting is causing it...
sparkeh Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 (edited) Fine in IE 11 and Chrome on Win 8.1 However! It took a four minutes to open in IE 10 on Win 7. Same proxy/filtering (Smoothwall)/group policies. Odd one that. Edited March 6, 2014 by sparkeh
bossman Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 Just ran it via another test user bypassing the proxy and it works instantly on IE9, It does rather point to Smoothwall being the problem as we both use it don't you think?

kennysarmy Posted March 6, 2014 Author Posted March 6, 2014 Moved a PC to an OU with no policies applied. Moved a USER to an OU with no policies applied. Set manually the proxy to swgfl.org.uk bypassing the smoothwall. Pages on ISSUU still take around 2 minutes to load, this is on IE10
sparkeh Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 For me IE 11 works fine, IE 10 takes a long time. Smoothwall does not seem to be the issue.

6Foot2 Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 Just loaded in Chrome without much delay: Maybe 10 seconds?
GeekyPete Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 (edited) I had something similar a while back. During the usual "what the heck, lets just try it anyway" stage of any good diagnositc process I found that changing the proxy settings on the client from a hostname to the IP address fixed it. No Idea why, no idea if it will work in this instance but it would only take 15 secs to try it. Worth a stab I'd say. Update: Took about 6 secs on IE9, just over 30 secs if I change to the proxy server's hostname. Still can't explain it. One day when I've caught up with all my jobs I'll look into it.
