Page stops downloading (hangs) on last item
|

| mnewby 2005-09-24, 1:09 pm |
| I am a novice to running a server so please bare with me. I am running a web server from my home. When users visit my site, some times the entire page will download in its entirety, but most times it will hang on the last item, which is not always the same item. I use Photoshop CS to create the page and slice it up. I then use Front Page to further prepare it for the web. The pages are very simple in design with no complex scripts in them. Among all of the images that make up page, the largest one is 19KB. Most are only 1 or 2 KB. The index.html page itself is only 12KB. I have tested it from several different computers from outside my LAN with the same results. My main web site is located in the IIS Default Web Site at C:\inetpub\wwwroot.
To try and troubleshoot it, I created several subwebs, each with a different web page design to try and rule out the possibility of some kind of error on the original page. The same thing happens with the index pages in the subwebs. Please take a look for yourself:

My system is configured as follows: I have DSL from the wall into the DSL modem. I have 3MB down and 384 up. The modem is connected by ethernet to a Linksys WRT54G router. My server is connected to the router by ethernet. The machine that I am using for my router is not the most robust, but I was told that it should be sufficient for my simple applications. It is a Compaq Presaior S6500NX with AMD Athlon XP 3000+ processor (which I believe translates to 1.5 processor), 512 ram, two 200GB hard drives. My OS is Windows Server 2000. I am using Microsot IIS 5. I am running MailEnable as an email server. I have FTP but it is currently turned off. I am also running DNS server. I do not know if it could be an issue related to cache or some type of priority.
If you have any idea what could be the problem, I would appreciate you sharing it with me.

| I am going to take a guess it has something to do with the script generated
by Photoshop. I was able to load all your WebPages successfully on the
first time were they slow and hanging up. Not sure it is a server problem
as it is a browser (client) issue rendering this locally. From what you
described it is ok, a little slow but nothing should slow it down. the
reference to the PSD file I am so sure about.

| Let me try that again.  The first time they loaded slow and did hang up
in my browser. After the 1st time, the pages loaded fast, being cached on
my client. What I was trying to mention was the issue might be a client
rather than a server side.

| I agree with Steve, this is probably a client side issue rendering the
page. What browsers did you try these websites with? You will probably not
see the same issue with Firefox (i've only seen these kind of problems
with IE).
You could also have a look in the IIS log file
(C:\WinNT\System32\LogFiles\) and see what status codes the requests have.
But they probably have 20X all of them (related to this).
