I’m trying to find a bug in a web application, which is causing Chrome and Safari to take up to 15 seconds to load the page (Firefox and IE, there are no problems). I’ve tried using Chrome’s developer tools to find out what is causing the slowdown, but am unable to understand what elements/script is slowing down the page.
This is a joomla site with a custom add-on (done by another developer, not myself)… looking for some help in diagnosing the problem.
The URL is http://www.norfolktourism.ca/index.php?option=com_eventlist&view=eventlist&Itemid=70
I’ve tried loading the page with javascript disabled in chrome, and it’s still super slow. Using Chrome’s developer tools, I see 25 messages showing “XML self-closing tag syntax used on . The tag will not be closed.”, followed up by a “[ Exception: TypeError: Expecting a function in instanceof check, but got TypeError: Cannot read property ‘ANY_TYPE’ of undefined ]”.
There do seem to be quite a few div tags that are self closing; while it shouldn’t cause problems, it can’t hurt to clean them up.
