I've heard of it before, but never got round to getting it. I'll give it a shot and see if it makes a difference.

I believe the feeling is unanimous to us all...

MrMobodies:
Haven't used it for a while and noticed page now only really slow but whole thing freezing.
I found out what it was, not noticeable at first as the animation on the placeholders are slow but went absolutely mad trying to find the culprit.

Page reload and the placeholders are there but the same tone of colour with no changing/flashing and no cpu usage on pause so it was the flashing class element over it (.pulse) doing that.


One element can cause so much havoc and ruin it.

Very STUPID idea. Why can't they leave it alone without causing annoyance for the user, delays and affecting performance.

Was going to see some anticipated video of Louise Rossman about the Google DRM thing but now I feel angry/aggravated and put off.

MrMobodies:
More of this CPU hog/page slowing crap from Linkedin:

Thinking of it they are not bl**dy loaders that they are named after as they don''t load any of the contents or parts of the webpage that depend on it to work. All they seem to do is spam the page with unwanted annoying flashing animations and slow down everything down by cycling through gradients and that's it

Seems to add about 2 - 3 seconds.
Reload page and about a second bang without all that flashing nonsense.

Bryn:
Honestly, what is the point of stuffing all that crap in websites these days? :palm: I guess we'll never know...
