Hi,
I could not reproduce the issue so far. With DSL selected, the page takes around ~15s to load, but still loads. The main script https://wikichat.genie.stanford.edu/assets/index-DLRdQOIx.js takes 10s to load, and that's where we spend most of the time.
Can you share a bit more details about what happens? Are you stuck on a specific request? Do you enable/disable cache? Maybe share a screencast of your toolbox?
Thanks
"screencast"? Isn't a "cast" a live video? Do you mean a video of reproducing the issue? What kind of cache do you mean, something in about:config or is there some cache-setting in the toolbox?

Hi!
Yes, 'screencast' means a video recording, in this case of your issue.
It would give us a better idea of where the network hangs for you. Or you can describe it via text, but it might be much more faster to get all the info we need with a screen recording in this case.
There is a Disable Cache checkbox in the Network panel, in the top right (although I could not reproduce the issue, with or without the setting).

Thanks. It seems that the load hangs for ~10s on the index.js file.
It sounds ok for downloading 2.75 MB at 2 Mbps - which is the speed corresponding to DSL throttling in the DevTools Network panel.
Can you clarify what is your expectation here. Would you expect files to load faster? or load differently?
Yes I expected it to load at 16 MBit/s.

In the throttling menu, DSL corresponds to 2Mbps, so that's 0.25 MB/s. See https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/devtools-user/network_monitor/throttling/index.html
After you selected a throttling profile, you can also hover on the select, and you will see the actual speed values used for this setting. Arguably we should make it clearer and configurable, but I think we already have bugs for this.

I will move this to an enhancement.
I think the speed values should be clearly indicated in the UI when you select a profile.

Yes, but thanks to your report it's now fixed. Always helpful to get bug reports, thanks again for filing.
