So I try browsing the forums and learing about my Epic 4g. But every fourm page takes 90 seconds before I can scroll and look around. It's not my computer or internet because I am a member on 10 other various forums and I have never had a single problem like this.
It looks like the adds are causing the problem. The page loads, but it still said waiting on add.....? at the lower left bar on the browser. And every time it throwser IEX into not responding. Then it finally after 90 seconds starts and I can scroll just fine.
And Ideas on what I can do to resolve this? It's really a pain waiting that lng for the page to load.
if your on Chrome try using an ad blocking extension

Sometimes after the page finishes loading, my firefox freezes for a several seconds while loading stuff from ads.netshelter.net.
I understand that you need avertisments for proper running of the page, but this one is so annoying especially because it freezes firefox completely and i can't go to other tab while waiting
Anyone have the same problem?

You are right--this shouldn't happen. We are looking at ways of making the ads load indepedent of the rest of the page. We've just been so busy with the redesign lately... this is on my list though.
Can't use the forum at all today.
Takes over a minute to do anything while staring at "Connecting to ad4.netshelter.net..." in the status bar. Took me 10 minutes just to be able to post this.
I'll come back when it's gone.

Ever heard of adblockers?
Anyone else getting this? It happens at random when loading a page (sometimes main, but anywhere, even after "Preview Post") the site will pretty much lock my browser's tab. If I'm lucky it'll time out with an error and I can kill the page then reload, but it's very irritating, and I can't troubleshoot it 'cause by the time I know something's happened, that tab is useless.
This happens on Chrome in OS-X (Mountain Lion), Windows 7, and Android, as well as Safari (haven't tried it on IE). It seems like a site-script gone haywire. Please note that I have absolutely no plugins on Safari, and it still locks.
Post these problems here:

It happens momentarily when the site is being re-indexed or some maintenance..
Nothing major
I've noticed xda takes a long time to open and change pages in my browser (Chrome). It frequently times out and gives me an error message. Sometimes I can push it to finish opening by pressing F5 (reload). Other times I have to close it and open again. This happens FREQUENTLY. I have also noticed several video ads that run automatically in multiple windows. I can pause one of them at a time by clicking on it, but of course, this doesn't help with the slow loading problem.
Is there any way to opt out of these videos (one seems to show women in sportswear making sushi) or just shut them off? I suspect that this is the problem.
Its been happening to me too, I just came to this thread to report this. I have an adblock so not sure about the ad but Its talking way longer time to load and sometimes i get error that unable to reach website.
I am using safari on mac.
Thanks

Mate, consider the fact XDA is currently frequented from thousands and thousands people. This could mean - in some cases - their servers could be sometimes overloaded, producing the annoyances you experienced.
This was caused by a bad DNS server - it is all fixed up now so your speed should be fine. Closing this thread, for any issues in the future please visit the XDA issues thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1987254
Anyone else having problems when attempting to post to threads?
I'm using Chrome on Win 10 and after I submit my post I'll get the "waiting for xda-developers.com" on the bottom left of Chrome and after a minute or two the page will timeout.
This isn't every time...but it is about 25%-50% of the time.
I've had this problem as long as I can remember, as in years. Browser will seem to get "stuck" but the post will still show up as intended. As you said, not every time, but pretty frequently. Are your posts still showing up?
Have you noticed random web page freezes (around 10 seconds), when writing posts using Google Chrome with Samsung Keyboard, Spell Checking on? Not browser, just the web page.
I even noticed a couple of freezes when browsing through online stores, and I think it's related to a keyboard, because I brought it up when changing product quantity numbers.
Spell checking also appears to be broken. When word is underlined indicating there's spelling error, clicking word only shows empty box, this leads me to believe it's related to freezes.
If you experienced it, have you figured out a way to fix this?
When writing long posts, these occasional freezes can wreak chaos, because while page is frozen, any additional words you type and accidental edits you make, appear after page unfreezes. It also wastes time, because if you're editing something in the middle of the text, you can't continue writing, and have to wait for unfreeze.
Off-topic question:
When writing a long post, accidentally hitting back or home button can be upsetting - the post is gone. Can you make browser remember these posts, so you can return and continue writing? So far my solution is to select all and copy, which is tedious.
Thanks.
Update
I noticed Chrome freezes randomly even without opening Samsung keyboard, simply browsing the web and page freezes. I also thought it's not the browser but the web page, but opening tab switcher while the page is frozen and opening a new tab sometimes (when the page freezes randomly while browsing the web), freezes entire browser, after around 10 seconds browser unfreezes. Any fix suggestions or what can be causing this? Tried wiping cache, but didn't help, I don't think reinstall will help, but I'll try it after some backing up.
Try this test, browse, XDA for example, through Chrome on your S20 devices for a weak, no PC or other devices or apps, write posts, etc, and report your results here. I also don't have any ad-blocking/ad-free, so to reproduce this enable ads as well.
Also, try using it with Samsung keyboard to maybe make problem more reproducible. Enable spell checking in keyboard settings, so words become underlined. Also enable dark mode.
I'm worried maybe it's RAM? Or SSD?
Hope not.. * sigh *
Edit
Searched the web more thoroughly this time, and apparently this is a big issue. Google search: s20 chrome freezing.
Some think it's related to 120 Hz mode, but then report it's freezing on 60 Hz as well, so seems like not refresh rate related. People even report this freezing occurs on Android system WebView powered apps.
No fix yet.
