Very Odd! Page loads fully only on refresh!

gummyworms

Hello,

I have a very odd problem. Here is a little background first. I just changed webservers from a lunarpages to asmallorange. I copied my website over, but am noticed an odd loading issue:

Basically, if I click on a link to one particular page (interest.php), it does not load completely, and only when I hit refresh does it completely laod. Try this:

http://azentia.com/biophysics/home.php

and click on "Research"

On about half of the 10 computers I've tried it on, the page only loads halfway, and requires a refresh to completely load. On pages that don't load completely, going to "view source" in IE doesnt even open notepad. This problem does not seem to occur in firefox.

Just for reference, this is the old webserver, it works perfectly.
http://primehunt.com/biophysics/home.php

I originally thought it was a permissions issue, so I chmod'd the file to be loaded to 777. This didn't help. Then I thought that it may be a php execution time limit, so I added:

ini_set('max_execution_time',3000);

This didn't help either. I've also tried using includes instead of requires, but with no luck. This one has got me stumped!

Thanks in advance for your help,
Shawn

I too moved a site from lunar to GODADDY... resulted in similar problems on a couple of pages (kinda important pages like index.php) ... I never did find out what the prob was because i went back to lunar like real quick.

The only guess that anyone at the time could come up with is server caching issue or even server load issue. AT THE TIME you were not able to change the caching on godaddy so i could not test it to find out.

but if all is equal it is unlikly that the script is broke --- it is more likely the server is broke...

I've been with many web hosts, and asmallorange.com was rated to be one of the best by many. I'm kind of dissappointed that I'm having these issues. Though their support staff have been amazing so far.

I've also noticed that pages load differently on ASO. Instead of loading the whole page structure, then then image, my pages load from the top down, loading the items as they appear in the code. This is very apparent when you look at:

Main image loads first, then bottom half of page takes a while to come up.
www.azentia.com/biophysics/home.php

vs.

Whole page structure loads, main image loads last.
www.primehunt.com/biophysics/home.php

Anyone have any ideas? Caching might be the issue.

works fine for me.... no stops or pauses, in Opera or IE.

Could be a connection limit on the server, only allowing a small number of active connections to a site at once. Also might be a connection to the database issue. Would require some serious debugging to trace and report on the actual issue tho.

hey i was just playing with your site a little bit and noticed the following

opera --- it works as expected
netscape --- a little odd but still acceptable

IE --- down right bad.

when i went into the source on the site it struck me odd that at the point where IE was dropping the ball was at the same point that you have a line that is like 4,850 character long with no line breaks or anything....

I wonder if that may have anything to do with it..... or not..... (iam guessing here)
