2.3 firewall tab -rules slow

[DLFerguRD]

I have pfblockerng installed, not too many other rules than the default and my page loads in about 2 secs.

[maverick_slo]

For me browser kind of freeze I also cant use other tabs etc… It behaves like ultra high load page...

[maverick_slo]

heh, seems to me that firefox (with no addons) performs the worst.
IE is fastest…

[KOM]

IE is fastest

I don't think I've ever seen these three particular words together in this exact order before.

[maverick_slo]

Yeah I know.
I dont know what do I feel about that :)

[heper]

while it does seem that the rules page isn't as snappy as it was a couple of weeks ago, i don't see more then a couple of seconds of delay with 40-ish rules.

edit:
-just reverted back to a 20d old firewall_rules.php & there is no difference in speed.

so if there is a difference & not just my imagination, then its  possibly due to a different change.

Someone who can reproduce it in Firefox, load up Firebug, enable it, and watch the Net panel as the page loads, see where the delay is

Specifically, in the lower right, there is an output of the total time and the onload delay (which would imply a JS issue)

[maverick_slo]

I`m on it.

If I had to guess, I'd say it's from the entire alias contents being placed into the hover popup, rather than cutting it off after a few entries as it used to. Makes the page pretty large especially with large aliases. Though I'd expect systems with small or no aliases to still be fast.

Screens

Hmm that's with the built-in stuff in FF, not Firebug, that doesn't show the JS delay.

[jimp]

For that you can use Tools > Web Developer > Performance and then start recording data, reload the slow page, and then stop.

[maverick_slo]

Did it, I can send you .JSON in PM?
Seems that jquery is the culprit.
Page actually took 8 seconds to load.

[maverick_slo]

I`m not lying :)

[jimp]

Wouldn't do me any good, but Steve_B may want to see it!

[maverick_slo]

Steve? :)

BTW, I removed aliases (1 alias with 8 IPs in it) and was the same…

By placing a print(microtime()); at about line 256, and another after the final include("foot.inc", I can see exactly when the PHP stars/finishes loading the page. I see something like:

0.39483700 1453836509
0.40212300 1453836509

So about 100 mS

Running the Firebug profiler, I see nothing suspicious in the Javascript so far.

I am using Firefox 44 on a 2015 MB Pro

[maverick_slo]

And this is what I see on Firefox 44, Win10

Page loads/renders 7-9 seconds…

[Steve_B]

Can you expand DOM.event handler please?

[maverick_slo]

Sure.

Reallllly long picture :)
