Site slowdown due to a file

edited January 2016 in Site Issues
I recently noticed that the main site (not WB) has slowed down due to a file:

HTML code that causes it:

I have noticed that the site has slowed to taking 2 min to load to load in china and it is getting more annoying since that showes a survey whenever you don't want google to butt in to your buisness.
Please remove this script as soon as you can. Thank you.
How I found out:
Removeing the script via chrome-devtools://devtools/bundled/devtools.html?&can_dock=true&dockSide=undocked&textColor=rgba(0,0,0,1) .

    Do they not allow ad blockers in china?

    I had to block a similar script on the Vintage Computing forum that was incredibly slowing down load time there. They are everywhere.

    Is this lag showing for anyone else? Outside of China?

    I spoke to Duff about surveys on the downloads since they have the potential to be lucrative and it's here to stay for a while anyway.

    I can't really help the fact that Chinese Internet is shit and they probably have something in the great firewall causing this but yeah the shitty infrastructure of a country lagging behind the western world is nothing I can fix myself

    Get NoScript. Problem solved.

    Honestly if the problem is really because you live in China, get a private VPN. Annoys me how a country with so much potential ruins everything by having barbaric socialist laws.

    Traversing the site as well and speedy as ever.

    You don't know what socialism means. And socialism isn't what brought those laws, so hush. Also, not the damn point.

    I know what socialism is, and those laws can easily be associated to socialism, even though it may not be the case in real-life. Whatever, not talking off-topic anymore on this topic.

    Holy holly balls, I hadn't viewed Winworld without an ad blocker for ages. Normally I just turn away from sites that don't want to show me content up front. But then again, only idiots don't browse with an ad blocker these days. So if we can turn human stupidity in to a clean and efficient renewable fuel source then, well, OK.

    I don't even see how marketoids think such surveys can result in valuable information, but what do I know, I'm not evil.

    But no real slowdown.

    OK well think of it this way 5 cents a survey return times all of those unregistered downloads equals more than our server costs.

    It is happening to get even slower. The AdBlock I installed does block the ads but my computer is old so it slows down my computer also. That is waht you get from having an old computer. Uh-Oh :( (Also, I might try an new adblock and see if it works. Please, thogh, remove the script as soon as you can. I will very much appreciate it!)

    First off how many programs are you running during a browsing session. This may contribute to your side of the slow down. Also try clearing the cache data and cookies from your browser. Also try resetting your browser. This will clear any bloatware that has accumulated over the years during your web surfing activities. Since this is on your end you can install this plug-in. Depending on what browser you use, there is probably another plug-in.

    I only run the browser.

    Well maybe it's time for a new computer.

    The script is staying put.

    Which begs the question... how long have you had your computer for, Po Lu? You're pretty much screwed if AdBlock plus is slowing things down for you and other things.

    Reinstall the system, that will definitely help considering you install "400 applications a day" and you've got "6000 VMs", as you claimed in your previous threads.

    I also forgot:
    1. I don't have a copy of Windows 8.1 and I am using a oem.
    2. I don't have a Product Key
    3. I don't want to go and wast time finding a KMS.
    4. My computer is fine for the time being. I just remove the script via Chrome-Devtools://***/***/***.***?*=***

    Reinstall Windows 8.1 using Microsoft's media creation tool - the key is in firmware, and it will activate fine.

    Reinstalling is a good idea if you have the time.

    There's something called a store. Do they have them in (communist) China?

    Seriously? Couldn't you learn to install something called AdBlockPlus, or better yet, uBlock Origin?

    Maybe you should *cough* pirate it *cough*. I don't care about MS anymore, and China is well known for being the #1 pirating country. Just saying.
