2.3 firewall tab -rules slow
-
Yeah we have same problem :)
-
We have tried everything we can to reproduce this, but no luck so far. Were I able to reproduce it, I would probably troubleshoot like this:
From the command line, or from Diagnostics->Command prompt, create an empty CSS file:
touch /usr/local/www/bootstrap/css/empty.css
Now from the System->General setup page, change the web configurator theme to "empty" and save.
The screen will now look horrible, but it will still be functional. You wont have a menu any more, but you will have links you can click on, so click firewall_rules. Does the page load more quickly? Much more quickly?
If it is improved, I would go back to the pfSense theme (have to click the general setup link), copy the pfSense theme:
cp /usr/local/www/bootstrap/css/pfSense.css /usr/local/www/bootstrap/css/pfSense-TEST.css
now select that pfSense-TEST theme from the setup page. You can now start commenting out sections of the pfSense-TEST.css file to try and locate the culprit. Probably best to start commenting out from the bottom up :)
I'm not asking anyone to do this or even suggesting that it is a good idea, but it is about all I can think of at this point.
-
Ok I will do it if you already ask for it :)
-
BTW, if we nail it, you owe me a bear, lol :)
-
Funny…
I just did it, page loads exactly the same amount of time.
-
OK good. So we know it is not related to the pfSense CSS then.
Thanks for taking the time to do that.
I'll suggest the next step shortly.

Pingle seems to have a handle on it (Internal communication)

Let's try this please:
Diagnostics->Edit file
Browse to /usr/local/www/firewall_rules.php
GoTo line 889 using the GoTo control in the top right
Comment out the code that makes the rules sortable:
events.push(function() { /* // Make rules sortable $('table tbody.user-entries').sortable({ cursor: 'grabbing', update: function(event, ui) { $('#order-store').removeAttr('disabled'); reindex_rules(ui.item.parent('tbody')); dirty = true; } }); */
Obviously the code will no longer be sortable, but lets see if it loads faster.
-
Yup, thats it :)
Now they're flyin :) -
OK cool. Thanks for doing that.
There is an issue reported in Firefox where initializing the sorting is extremely slow. Trying to find a work-around now.
-
I have just pushed a work-around for this. Would you please gitsync and try it when you have time?
-
Hi!
We can close it :)
Chrome is fastest, IE and FF little slower (1.3sec load time) which is excellent :)
-
Yay!
Thanks to everyone who helped to track this down and test the fix. I learn something from you guys every day :)
