Hi,

many of us in our new forums noticed that we have to double click on many links on the forums to open them. It starts right at our forums root page, please have a look yourself. Do you have any idea what we can do about it?

I already upgraded our hosting package to rule out server limitations. We should have more than enough server power now, even though our whole site is still quite slow (probably due to our premium theme), including the backend (if compared to some YouTube How-Tos, where they have lightning fast page load times).

We are running on WP 4.4.2 (currently latest) w/ MS setup, bbpress 2.5.8.

Thanks for your help
Manuel

Incorrect.
You don’t need to double-click, just click once. But it takes 1 or 2 seconds before it starts redirecting. Not sure what it is …

Let me be more precise: In Chrome, it does follow the link after some delay. But in Firefox, it does not. Me and most of my users use this browser, it is more common in Germany.

I tested Chrome and IE11, but anyway it should work in all browsers. I have been trying to check around, but have no idea ! Any plugin that would be delaying things ???

As you we are talking tuning, launch your website also on https://gtmetrix.com/ . It will indicate some performance improvements (but this should have nothing to see with the issue you experience now)

Hi,
Using Chrome standard tools, I saw you run into a warning ‘Synchronous XMLHttpRequest on the main thread is deprecated because of its detrimental effects to the end user’s experience.’

I arrived on https://wordpress.org/support/topic/heatmap-xmlhttprequest-deprecated?replies=5 so as you confirmed you have WP Slimstat installed and switching it off, the URL clicks are working fine, you will have to check on their forum.

Pascal.

Thanks a lot for your assistance, Pascal. This is the Slimstat support thread.
