WoW Guild Pages "Hanging" or Loading Slowly
We are currently researching an issue with our Server Status widget for WoW that may be responsible for some of our users experiencing pages that seem to load to a blank screen and then just hang there for a few seconds and then suddenly complete loading.
This problem is related only indirectly to us . The Blizzard server status page sometimes responds very very slowly and this is causing our pages to hang sometimes. If we don't receive a valid response we chose to not reset the timer on how often the page gets checked expecting Blizzard's page to respond better the next time. This optimistic expectation is being dashed upon the rocks of reality and we are evaluating how to handle it.
If you encounter this type of situation, please remove the server status widget from your site and see if it fixes the problem. The problem is somewhat intermittent so it is not a perfect test, but it's worth trying. We are researching a permanent solution for the problem that should be in the next release, but the above option should work for the majority of you if you encounter these types of page loads.
