I can't scroll the page smoothly until everything is loaded. I dont care if there is async loading of external resources going on, but i do when it prevents me from using their site.
maybe this is just something weird w my browsers?
Its the same in every browser I work with, it takes a long while to load. And when it's finally done loading, it still has to get the content for the visible viewport when scrolling.
Thats pretty much the problem with not only TC's website, but actually a lot of these sites out there nowadays use this javascript scrolling feature. Remember the new Google images UI?
I usually get around this with Firefox's excellent web dev toolbar. I Check the "disable cache", "disable images" and "disable javascript". Finally I check "persist features" to save my configuration and my TC and Elgoog images load in like milliseconds..
I looked at the http requests it makes and its pretty nuts (almost as bad as my company's intranet). Is anyone else experiencing this load latency? It happens on FF, Chrome and Safari on OS X 10.6
You'd think that a site like techcrunch would be all over this. its pretty bad when its difficult to slow for 30 seconds after the page initially renders.
