What's with the high CPU usage on Era?
- Thread starter Syriel
- Start date
I still get a rare re-direct/pop-up ad on mobile browsing of ERA. Rare, but happens to me once a week or so only on ERA.
do you have any userscripts running on resetera?
also run a virus scan and stuff
cause i cant tell why your cpu usage and ram usage for this site is so high

Modern browsers are awful... I'll never understand how a single browser tab is using 20% of CPU resources and 1.4GB of ram...

Nope, nothing custom.
It's specific to Era. Most tabs are 1% CPU or less and 20-200MB of memory.

Well, we have to get BronsonLee to upgrade that FireTV somehow. ;)
Computer is on a gigabit up/down fiber connection. Wired. I down bandwidth is the issue.
If you Ctrl-F5 repeatedly and wait for it to fully load, is it the same every time?
Is it the same on every thread or just certain threads?
Does it still happen for incognito mode?
I still get malicious mobile popups / tab deletion ads so I wouldn't be surprised if malicious ads are part of it.

The site has some serious issues with performance on non-wifi devices according to google pagespeed insights. With a low score of just 41%.

Basically comes down to A BUNCH of unused CSS, tyche.js taking over a second to load (wtf is up with this one?) and a lack of deferred css.
On the plus side the server response time is high, everything is minified and Images are handled well. Just needs a little TLC.

Xenoforo is a huge piece of shit. Like there's 1.8MB of scripts for just this fucking page. A lot of polling activity as well.

I use Edge as a default, mostly because of the Bing rewards. ;)
Seriously though, most of the time it's fine. ~90 open tabs and ~3-4% CPU usage for Edge with ~4-5% total CPU.
Do nothing else but open Era and I'm spiking to 75-80% total CPU.
It was working fine recently, so I was assuming there was some sort of change.
Happens with pretty much every thread. Including this one.
I'll try a different browser just for Era.
I wonder if some of those scripts are just continually running under Edge.
Also seeing the CPU spike on W7x64 Firefox58. Though I have googletagmanager dot com and intergi dot com blocked. Most likely one of the scripts running causing the issue.
On rechecking seeing up to 30% CPU on thread detail page load, constant 10%+ after all loaded, no animated GIFs.
Thread listing page is more CPU friendly, only 2% CPU when idle.
Don't recall such issue on the old site.

Not doing anything on my version of Edge, with or without adblocking sits at 0% CPU.
EDIT: Now that I've posted in this thread, it's sitting at 8%. lawl.
EDIT: It's definietely having a party by itself... (From a profiling session of me just watching this static thread for 15 seconds)

The site is a total bog after the update unfortunately. You never know what you're going to get when you hit back, and sometimes it takes forever to load the main page, which is only just text and shouldn't take so long. Pieces of the website swoop in from the left side sometimes and sometimes they don't. It's nice otherwise
I'm having this issue on my work computer. Some of the programs we use won't work with the amount of ram being used by the site currently. I have to close the tabs and reopen them to get the ram and cpu usage down. I'm not sure if it's the site or the ads being served, but leaving a tab open for an extended period of time slowly uses up all the ram and has excessive cpu usage.
I had issues with the big purple banner at the bottom of the page, my PC starts to lag like crazy when I scroll to there, so I blocked it with uBlock Origin and my issues were gone.
It's quite low for me, sub 1% on average, but i'll monitor throughout the day.
If anyone does have issues with ads (i.e. pop-ups), please do use our ad reporting thread - https://www.resetera.com/threads/the-ad-reporting-thread.60928/

It's not the browsers' fault that people are putting their pages full of random javascript that does who-knows-what in the background.
I struggled to get that much CPU useage out of FF to test OP. I think I DDOSd Era for a sec with my rampant gesture usage :p
I don't know about this specifically but honestly ever since the recent "upgrade" this site runs pretty poorly.
This. And I find Mobile era is especially more sluggish than it was before the update. Don't know what going on.
Add another one to the list. Posting using mobile is garbage with the new design, even typing is lagging.
There's so much sketchiness surrounding ads. "Please do not talk about them anywhere else but in this thread no one will respond to." Either mining something external or mining our data for resell. We are pure $$$ to admin who saw an opportunity in a mass amount of people jumping ship, relative to this being someone's passion project
