1640426 - wholesalesolar.com page is blank for 3-4 seconds after page load with ETP - Strict enabled

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Privacy: Anti-Tracking, defect, P3)

Description

[Chris Peterson [:cpeterson]]

Steps to reproduce

1. Enable Strict ETP.
2. Load https://www.wholesalesolar.com/
3. Wait for the page to be rendered.

Expected results

The page should be rendered immediately after it has been loaded.

Actual results

The page loading spinner stops and then, after 3-4 seconds of a blank white page, the rendered page appears.

If you downgrade ETP from Strict to Standard (or disable ETP entirely for the site) and reload the page, the page is rendered immediately after it has been loaded.

I enabled each of ETP's Custom settings separately to isolate which setting causes the slow page load. The culprit is "Tracking content" "In all windows".

I see this same 3-4 second pause on https://www.splcenter.org/ with ETP Strict enabled.

I can still reproduce the issue:

• on https://unboundsolar.com/, I see a bit longer delay with ETP - Strict, but the blank page occurs also with ETP - Standard or disabled, for me both on mobile and desktop layout.
• on https://www.splcenter.org/ the issue is visible more on the mobile layout.

On desktop layout for https://www.splcenter.org/ I would say it seems to be fixed.

This is fixed now as of bug 1687942. The delay was caused by use of the asynchide scriptlet.
