gator Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 I have noticed that whenever I have AEF open in a Chrome tab, my computer becomes jittery. So, I opened Chrome task manager to have a look and it shows me that the CPU usage for the AEF tab is ~690-800. Other tabs are max about 20 whether active or not. Opening Windows Task Manager shows that the CPU is at 99% with Chrome responsible for 94-96%. As soon as I close the AEF tab, it drops to 1.8%. The same thing happens in Edge. This is all with spellcheck on or off and adblocker on and off. It also happens on all of my computers. So, it has to be some code on the site that's causing it. Anybody else having the same issues?

Airband Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 I'm using a Win10 machine and this is the CPU usage I get from task mgr when AEF is the only site open on the following browsers: Chrome - 100% MS Edge - 100% Safari - 23% MS IE - 25% Must be something, I seldom see my CPU usage go above 50% (not that I spend a lot of time looking at it).

Seeker Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 I am also having problems with AEF. I'm on a Mac using Safari and I get a popup message that says something like "web content failed" while the CPU usage maxes out and the fans spool up due to high CPU temperature. As soon as I close the tab everything goes back to normal and this is the only site that causes the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 my problem is not only with the AEF site, it is with Google Chrome. I think they tweaked their program. https://lifehacker.com/why-chrome-uses-so-much-freaking-ram-1702537477 That being said AEF shows very high usage when checking with the Chrome shift/esc feature, almost 3 times what CBC news or other high content sites do (pprune etc).

Moon The Loon Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 I refuse to use Chrome because of its tracking features. FF works well as does MSIE...for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Innuendo Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 I am seeing a similar situation on Mac OS with Chrome, AEF -95% CPU while other sites are in single figures. Using Safari and Firefox, AEF uses around 50% CPU, other sites again in single figures. My Mac is an I7 with 16GB RAM if that means anything.

moeman Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 That's really odd. 75% here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Switched to IE11 and with AEF running CPU usage is 9.5%. When chrome was running with AEF my CPU usage was up around 98% (according to Microsoft task manager, so I have to conclude it was Chrome and not the AEF site.

gator Posted December 30, 2017 Author Share Posted December 30, 2017 I find the same as Malcolm... IE seems to be ok. But that doesn't put the blame on Chrome alone, because I had the same issue in Edge and no problems on other sites. So, there must be something on the site that impacts Chrome and Edge. So, when I visit, it will be with IE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 I have turned chrome off (removed it) and I find my computer is much more happy. Even though I have 16GB of ram, chrome (even running in the background) was a real memory hog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boestar Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 I am getting the same results 100% CPU but only with the AEF open. Windows 10 machine wuth 8 core processor and 16 gig of ram. Happily runs everything but the AEF. CPU temp also overheats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boestar Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 ok so in IE11 I am not seeing the spikes like Edge and Chrome. it seems to be "modern" browsers that are causing the problem. This is a very recent occurrence as it has worked fine for ages. The site is unusable in the latest Chrome and Edge browsers. Research points to JQUERY javascript to be the issue. ADMIN: please update to the latest version of invision as it may have a fix for poorly formed javascript. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

proview Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 There is a script with a name like cryptoloot.pro which loads with this page. I presume someone is using this website to mine bitcoin. I have blocked this on the firefox browser using the No-Script add-on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alt* Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 After looking into this, I found that there was a script installed on the site which has since been removed and the vulnerability fixed. thanks for bring this to our attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
