Description

Loading URL takes 9.55 seconds for me. Only after waiting that long, the input fields for username and password are available for text input.

In the list of 25 HTTP requests involved in loading the page, I see duplicates for the following:

Other details:

  • OSX 10.8.4
  • Firefox 21.0

Similarly reproduced in OSX/Chrome 27.

If I recall correctly, the API should only be used for legacy browsers, and not the more modern browsers. Something feels very off here.

The repeated api calls are because of the unavailability of localized messages from jquery.i18n while the first API is in progress. Assigning to myself.

If I recall correctly, the API should only be used for legacy browsers, and
not
the more modern browsers. Something feels very off here.

We use API for serving json files for all browsers to take advantage of merging json files and avoid potential 404s
