Topic: Delayed Loading

[Wingfat]

hi..


I'm looking for some help troubleshooting Parkviewx.com. The top 2 graphics load and then there is a considerable delay before the rest of the site loads. I have also noticed that my satellite loops show no actual graphics.. These might be related since everything else is fine. Since hurricane season will be here shortly.. I figured I'd better try to fix this. Any help would be appreciated. A big thank you to Ken who helped me move my site to a new hosting service awhile back.

Ahh... several issues.  Some older scripts are causing the stalling at load.  Running check-fetch-times.php?show=versions shows multiple scripts in particular need updating:

advforecast2.php    Need update to V5.13 - 2019-08-08
get-metar-conditions-inc.php   Need update to V1.18 - 2019-11-07
nws-alerts.php   Need update to V1.43 - 2019-05-14
and especially:
get-USNO-sunmoon.php   Need update to V3.03 - 2019-11-24

The latter is due to aa.usno.navy.mil is 'offline' through May due to a site redesign.  It's causing the majority of the delay in page load

<!-- get-USNO-sunmoon.php - Version 3.02 - 23-Nov-2018 -->
<!-- refetch seconds=1 -->
<!-- loading ./cache/USNO-moondata.txt from https://api.usno.navy.mil/rstt/oneday?date=04/24/2020&coords=26.565629,-80.162173&tz=-4 -->
<!-- curl fetching 'https://api.usno.navy.mil/rstt/oneday?date=04/24/2020&coords=26.565629,-80.162173&tz=-4' -->

You can get all the updates by using the update tool since 04-Feb-2019 with the  Base-USA, MB-plugin

Looking at Settings.php, I think you have

Code: [Select]

$SITE['NWSforecasts']   = array( // for the advforecast2.php V3.xx version script
// use "Zone|Location|Point-printableURL",  as entries .. first one will be the default forecast.
  "FLC099|Lake Worth|http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?CityName=Lake Worth&state=FL&site=MTR&textField1=26.565629&textField2=-80.162173&e=1&TextType=2",
"FLC086|Miami Dade|http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?CityName=Miami&state=FL&site=MTR&textField1=25.5516&textField2=-80.6322&e=0&TextType=2",
"FLC011|Fort Lauderdale|http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?CityName=Fort Lauderdale&state=FL&site=MTR&textField1=26.122&textField2=-80.1373&e=0&TextType=2",
);
and

Code: [Select]

$SITE['noaazone']         = 'FLC099'; // used for NOAA advisories and advforecast2.php zone forecasts
and

Code: [Select]

$SITE['NWSalertsCodes'] = array(
  "Palm Beach County|FLC068|FLC067",
//  "Santa Cruz Mtns|CAZ512|CAC081|CAC085|CAC087",
  "Fort Lauderdale|FLC011|FLC086",
//  "Monterey|CAZ530|CAC053",
//  "South/East Bay|CAZ508|CAC081",
//  "San Mateo Coast|CAZ509|CAC081",
//  "San Francisco|CAZ006|CAC075"
);
I think you misunderstand what should be in the $SITE['NWSforecasts'] array.. you have FLCnnn codes (County codes) and they should be FLZnnn (Forecast Zone codes).  Likewise, in the $SITE['noaazone'] , should be a Zone code.
and in $SITE['NWSalertsCodes'], it's ok to have County codes, but you should have at least one Zone code in each line.

Hope this helps...

Thank you so much..... That did the trick!


I just need to figure out why my satellite loops done run.


Stay safe

Solved the problem... the Hanis folder was missing the proper permissions.  I'm ready for Hurricaine season!
