Opera does not complete to load the webpage

Opera does not complete to load the webpage

Hello, many times Opera does not terminate to load the webpage and shows the number of pending elements as you can see in the image. Net settings are as default. I also tried different but nothing changes. This does not happen all the time but frequently.

Do you know what can I do?. Thanks.

yeah its true

Firefox4 doesn't seem to get any n-1 hangs on the same sites I go to.

It does load the State Lottery web page I go to somewhat at a slower pace but that page is so "busy" it really taxes the system. Even Opera is slow at that site.

I ran Fox4 right out of the box too, no tweaking.
and the plugins are in it too.

Opera is good for those that like to customize, but maybe the n-1 hangs are still due to some 3rd party ad (my viewpoint)

Well they do have a page about n-1 hangs on Firefox.
The best tip I saw in there was to turn off Hyperthreading if you have a Pentium 4 chip.
I know you can turn that off through the BIOS settings, I have seen that before and switched it off a long time ago for WindowsXP.
Another tip they say is maybe too many stored "Sessions" of Tabs?
Take a look, too bad Opera doen't even have a page about this n=1 hang.

Thanks
I have a Pentium 4 . I won´t mess with BIOS
Why did you switched it off for WindowsXP?

You mean all those ad companies joining together in a conspiracy? Could be -- sometimes, inconsistently, whenever, maybe, probably, intermittantly. It is not the ads but Opera's (mis)rendering of them. As it is, the Opera browser is not reading, rendering, displaying what it needs to display. You can block all ads with hosts file or even the old, but trusty Proxomitron -- and its still happens. There is no discernable pattern. The only thing consistent is its randomness and restarts often allows the site to load. Sad state of affairs, for Opera, really.

3rd party ad? I one uses hosts+block content I don´t think there will be many 3rd party ads messing around.
I like it that this thread is more of a friendly conversation that a search for a fix, which I consider lost at this point

Not so simple, with compatibility it does not even start:

I was to put a pic of a n-1 page but I could not upload it to an image host because of n-1 and then i could not use the formatting here due to n-1 and then i got fed up so then i have to restart our dear Opera.

Ummmm. I'm not sure as to why you would lose the image. Try Xnview. Free imaging software. http://www.xnview.com Save to desktop. And take advantage of the Opera 2 GB storage gdveggie mentioned.

I did not lose the image. I use irfanview. i could not upload it to a host because of n-1 and also I could not paste the link here due to n-1 and the format buttons in this form not working for same reason. Thanks.

Wow thats some bad n-1 over hang !

When you reply use the format buttons above to change the text elements, its easy
Never had any problem changing things here

Anyhow since you have a Pentium 4 chip, you really should look into the BIOS and see if its settings are On or Off.
It doesn't work as claimed to speed up processes in WinXP.
When I tried it on WindowsXP it just had quirky software reactions all around. My observations.
After it was turned off the computer "acted normal" again.
You can also do a Google search and read about This.

When you re-boot the computer and see the splash screen press F2 or Delete key to get into the BIOS before Windows starts. This happens fast so watch for it.
Then find the setting in the BIOS for performance or something like that and look to see if Hyperthreading is on or off.
Use the keyboard arrows in the BIOS to make changes, the mouse won't respond for it. Save and then exit.
That will help the PC Globally, it might stop the n-1 hangs.

Ok I disabled Hyperthreading although the BIOS clearly states enable for WIN XP.
The only problem in my system is Opera. Why would I have to change all settings just to run a buggy soft?
I just did it because you suggested. First n-1 and I will enable it again, so behave Opera!

Thats good because now the Hyperthreading is Disabled Globally in Windows.

That should help runs programs smoother.
Yes thats what Opera is for, to customize and set up for the best use on your PC.

I noticed there is a new version today of the Flash Player maybe that fixes the You Tube problem.
10.2.153.1

>Yes thats what Opera is for, to customize and set up for the best use on your PC.

Opera should be to customize Opera, your browser, not the whole system just to run it!!

Yes, thanks, I already updated Flash

Oh, now I see...I think...
I make system BIOS changes, numerous other tweaks, etc. in a desperate attempt to get ONE app to work, Opera, whereas other browsers work fine, because that's what Opera is for, to customize my system and who know what to set up for the best use of my PC?

Arghhhh. My head hurts. Yup. True.

Folks, we've been at this waaay toooo long. We've progressed from Opera tweaks (exhausted all possibilities) and now moving to OSs tweaks, BIOS tweaks, searching for hidden magic that will bring Opera back to some kind of reliable life. Face it, that dog won't hunt. Hold for next version.

Don't give up now, this is one of the longest threads posted in the Forum!

Thats what Phantom of the Opera makes you do, find that magical tweak that will make the fat lady sing!

Well, there should be a way to resolve the n-1 hangs but it can still be some code somewhere that causes this since Opera uses its own "engine" different than the other browsers.

Reminds me years ago, re: the vtcp.386 file in Win98 that had a mathematical code error which
caused n-1 hangs to never finish a page loading till Microsoft fixed it...
speaking of that, I did some more Homework and I think I have the Final Answer

I updated the Info on My Opera Blog page
http://my.opera.com/hobbler/blog/ethernet-settings and READ the part called "MTU SIZE IN WINDOWS AND N-1 HANG FOR DSL PPPoE"
Since I made this change OPERA 10.62 is Screaming Fast and no longer seems to get n-1 hangs, so far, so good

Disabling hyperthreading used to work fine till now that i get n-1 in every page I load.
Maybe it is due to many tabs open, but that is what i want tabs for.

Yes, MTU can slow things down if there is a mismatch ISP-your MTU. Noticeably.

Best and easiest approach to optimizing TCP/IP is Cablenut. Use Cablenut for Win XP;I have not tried it on Win 7.
http://www.broadbandnuts.com
"Tweak Your Internet Connection" -- Complete Cablenut setup here: http://www.j79zlr.com/cablenutXP2k.php

From an earlier post:

You can optimize Win XP TCP/IP internet connection with Cablenut (http://www.cablenut.com/); I have custom Win XP css file (if you like a copy, send me email address or whatever). I never leave home without it! :-)

There are a number of utilities that make it easy to set MTU. Make sure you use the correct value. Best way to determine best MTU setting is to determine latency time, etc. Keep in mind conditions change.
See: http://www.broadbandnuts.com/ping.shtml

Anything simpler? The soft does not load the registry values.

You See that's what I don't like, all that 3rd party software written by someone not working at Microsoft.
(I have tried some of them in the past)

That's why I'd rather do it myself in the Registry Manually, following their instructions. Most would find it too technical.
Maybe because I have used Windows like that for years before there were programs to change settings back then.

Microsoft offers an easy "Fix It" tool so you don't have to do all that math and fractions which is time consuming.
Take a look at My blog page with the link to Microsoft's Fix It Page.

So that would be the easy way out which would put the correct values in the Registry anyhow.

Whoooaaa! Before you jump off on Cablenut, you might just look into it first. I am really surprised that you are not aware of Cablenut -- or at least look into it before making assumptions; its been around for years and a very popular little tool. Trying some in the past is irrelevant if you're not familiar with this nice tool. As for correct values, maybe you should go to those sites and read the instructions and information. Look, then leap.

Cablenut/Adjuster makes the changes to the registry, that's it. It is a passive utility. It is not some active software that loads into the system. It no more interferes with anything that any manual tweak you might make. Every configure a .reg file that loads into registry key to change data, etc.? Same thing. IF this is 3rd party sofware, then your manual tweaks in the registry qualifies YOU as 3rd party software. Not written by someone at MS? Why are you screwing with Opera then instead of IE? Better stay out of the registry unless you are MSVP dude.

Okay, enough of that. Seriously, nothing wrong with using the MS MTU thingie. Is that 3rd party also? I ask because there are many such utilities written by other than MS folk but offered by MS, i.e., sysinternals. BUT, if you really want to tweak your system to your network, then Cablenut/Adjuster is a fine utility. It is essentially a registry changer. Easy, safer, and newbie-friendly. No chance of screwing things up as is possible when making manual changes. Faster, too, than plundering through the registry. You can use the various configuration files or make your own. Of course, if you like to feel the saddle when you rde, so to speak, then manual registry changes are for you!

Just to let you know I have changed settings in the registry manually many times using the correct syntax and not "screwed" it up. For many years in Windows.

As long as you have a brain and can think in an undisturbed work area and follow Procedure so as not to make mistakes its fine.
Its set up to be adjusted anyway, thats why it runs Windows.

Yes I know the other 3rd party stuff is out there for most general users too,
but most are "rigid" and you can do things on your own that "3rd party's" won't let you adjust.
Plus they never seem to really explain in detail enough just gloss over things.

But then a lot of people use them and I remember asking some questions to a MSVP "dude" once and he had no answer! They don't know it all either.
Its just me that I like the hands on learn by doing approach rather than a quick fix bandaid!

So it helps to learn over the years and gain knowledge and not be so unsure of things.
But its up to you and your skills.

and I haven't seen much n-1 hang with the MTU tweak, except if its a "heavy" flash loaded, javascript, graphics, overloaded overkill site!
my 2 cents yeah its late take it easy

Go back to http://www.j79zlr.com/cablenutXP2k.php (this is the page with the instructions) an insert the data, compute settings and name/save your CCS file...THEN go to Cablenut/Adjuster (you did download it, right? There is ccs file update for xp, too), and to this:

1. Open Adjuster. Options: select Win2k (same as WinxP). Before you do anything else, click on Retrieve Current Registry Values. You will see them populate the form.

As I mentioned, cablenut it does not retrieve original registry settings for me

I connect through NIC Fast Ethernet PCI Familia RTL8139 de Realtek . Is this DSL with router or RasPPPoE seting in http://www.j79zlr.com/cablenutXP2k.php?

I added pagead to the block file ::

Thanks

Try http://email.about.com/od/gmailmailcheckers/gr/galert.htm

It gets stuck at 25/25 with the urls added

I also have the hosts file. It finally loaded here. I am out for pizza i am so tired of this that I hope I do not see the opera log in the tomatoes.

Sibelius,
Janusz,

Listen I have to tell you Cablenut is outdated old software, Do Not Use It !
It will not help you, its just a time waster band aid approach, and they use old information pulled from Microsoft going back to the days of Windows95, they don't even update their website.

Like I mentioned before, all that stuff was Bogus until Microsoft found out and admitted the vtcp.386 file had a math problem and wouldn't time out so there was a hang forever in Win98 back then.
When that file was corrected and applied to Windows, then it worked correctly. I used to carry that file on a floppy back then and "fix" many PC's with that problem. It made a difference in those days.

Ok Maybe I forgot to mention that whenever you make a change in the registry and "Modify" thats it , its done, there is no confirmation because this is the Basic info Windows loads on a reboot, its not a program in Windows. Thats why you do it properly and without mistakes and if you don't , then remember to write down each step on paper as you go along if you forget how to trace your changed settings.

janusz ,
glad you went back to Opera 11.01 and it works because you found that Google ad mess up!
That has been a problem which has been talked about before but glad you found a real solution that works because of them.
I will have to install your "fix" to my Opera 10.62 browser when I get a chance and try it too.

This is why I even mentioned to block them using the Opt-Out from Google but it only works in Firefox on My Opera Blog page before about Cookies. So yes you need to block Google seperately in Opera.
Google has some "anti-Opera attitude" about them and you found it!
Yes maybe Opera doesn't see the "Host" file with the way it "reads" Windows or is it due to turning off "Server Name Completion"?


still looking at your posts re-reading them, and will have to try your n-1 hang fix soon and reply to more Posts here!!!!

What evidence do you have other than an opinion? *Sigh* Facts please, no opinions. Win 95/98? Geeez. IF you read the sites, both sites, you would have found information about updates for WinXP or did you even get that far? Thought so. Did you look into those settings. They are simply compilation of multiple tweaks, much like you have suggested, all in one place. One could argue each, case by case -- and they have been -- but to dismiss all as a time waster is a head-in-the-sand factless statement. No updates? Think about it...work with me on this -- they are registry tweaks. No need for udates unless there is some kind of new updated registry for WinXP. The tweaks are no mystery. In fact, the Win XP definitions (see www.cablenut.com, Win2k XP Definitions) are taken direct from the Microsoft White pages at Technet. A quick look and you will see advantages/disadvantage associated with each. As when making manual registry changes, this also requires some minimum congnitive awareness, so know what you are doing -- and that is best accomplished by reading the instructions, etc. Want help/opinion on your Cablenut settings? Go to the forum: http://www.dslnuts.com/discussion/index.php

I have used Cablenut Adjuster for years and even discovered a minor error in one optimization guide. Some tweaks are minor and depending on one's setup may not contribute great performance gains, but some are very good. I don't come to this as a newbie; a few years ago I did side-by-side machine performance comparisons. I can postitively say, without reservation, that WinXP performance greatly improved for the given interface, internet connection, etc.

As far and n-1, I'm satisfied that it's working for me. I also fine-tuned three Cablenut-Adjuster tweaks so that has to be a contributing factor to no more n-1s. I tried the content blocks on my other machine and I still had a few n-1s. Subsequently, I made same tweak changes and its working fine.

Bottom line is that it is an Opera issue, regardless. These tweaks somehow minimizes exposure.

I can´t understand why if I set MTU to 1500 using the MS fix Hobbler posted, the test page still shows 1440.



BTW you can see what I use to edit the registry: Regeditx. Very nice and simple I think, start/run/regeditx and you have regedit enhanced. No undo.
DO NOT download the last version, it does expire. Last freeware is v2 e.g. from http://www.brothersoft.com/regeditx-79335.html

janusz how did you put that nice arrow in your pic?. I click there and nothing shows.

Sorry, I still don´t get my connection type. I have (according to vendor) ADSL 1 Mbps, 256 Kbps Upload. I use a Huawei smartAX MT882 modem connected to ethernet. The PC is not always on.

What should I chose in

Because its bunk !
I just took that test too , it shows completely "WRONG" Information and I know my settings are different.

So don't go by all these sites that say they know how to tweak Windows O/S, most don't do any good.
My MTU is 1464 in the correct Registry location from Microsofts own fixed information documents where they had a wrong key listed even in their own information in the past.
Obviously , Speedguide is reading Info from another Registry Key which isn't what you are using.

Maybe the "fix" is MS bunk! Useless!
hobbler, add something constructive instead of broad opinions!
SpeedGuide is not bunk but stop and think a bit. What it is displaying is the NIC setting. Why does it not state that? Read. Why does not the "fix" not state that NIC needs to be in agreement? Are they both bunk? Naw, no need to jump off the deep end. You need both NIC and Windows MTU settings in agreement. Neither is bunk. Duh.

sibelius - First, note that the "fix" is for Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) connections or for virtual private network (VPN) connections. Does this match your setup? I would guess that is does since PPP is the most popular method for transporting IP packets over a serial link between the user and the ISP. Second, if so, then did you reboot after the "fix"? Good practice if making any registry changes. Third, did you use the correct "fix," the one for PPP connections at the top of the page?
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/826159

You can verify directly by checking registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NdisWan\Parameters\Protocols\0\\ProtocolMTU

After applying the MS fix I got the values in the abobe caption for
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NdisWan\Parameters\Protocols\0\\ProtocolMTU

Then I applied TCPOptimizer because I liked it.

The values for the ProtocolMTU are the same, but I think it adds other in another sections.

Yes I always reboot.

Until now everything is ok.

I still have to see the other tweaks.

Wonderful!
TCP Optimizer is excellent. I prefer Cablenut Adjuster because it lays out all the tweaks and can easily be modified w/o going into the registry. If MTU was not optimized then you should notice an improvment in performance.

Where did you get the idea to use PPP VPN setup? Thats wrong for a Home User.
Thats for an Intranet. There are Two Microsoft Fix It Utilities, You must use the correct one to reset the default global settings.

You want PPPoE on the Modem not through Windows.

Anyhow, use whatever program you like, I still like to do things Manually in Windows for better control, thats just me.

Stop parsing every word like a school teacher, relax...

The tweaks I made in Windows have drastically improved Opera and Firefox. I like it better now.
Guess its done here.

So it looks like this post has become its own "Soap Opera"

The problem is due to a long movie "preloading", and this happens on Opera browsers when loading WMP videos. I have solved this problem by forcing the WMP player to play TWO movies using a playlist (mpu) file. The first video is very short (one frame), and so when it loads it does not take long at all. This is the short, one-frame preload. Then when the visitor presses the image for the movie, the first movie plays very rapidly, and the next one loads not until then. This way, the page loads quickly, and behaves correctly. The long movie no longer causes initial page loading delay because the preload only loads the first single-frame movie in the playlist.

Last post was 16th of April, time to refresh the conversation and prolong the longest thread, according to whomever said it was the longest one.

1. I have / had the same issue. Opera 11.10(2092) on Win7 32b [Intel Atom], HSPA 7.2Mbps down 5.2Mbps up.

2. Opera configuration is tweaked for general population and takes in to account all situations. So you should adjust it to your personal preference.
I have changed:
Max Connections Total 64 -> 32, because hspa = high latency andtherefore timeouts.
Max Persistent Connections Server tried 6 -> 4 and 6->8 either way it was worse, stuckwith default 6
Network Buffer Size 128 -> 64, 128 kb is way too much if you ask me, i think FFX is using 32kb receive buffer, but can't be sure.

I was using http://stevesouders.com/hpws/max-connections.php to check if my configuration was good or bad. Page loaded, no pictures missing = good, page loaded pictures missing = bad. Sad thing is, FFX without any tweaks loads and renders pages faster than Opera, also when i was using FFX i had no n-1 issue, but i still prefer Opera

Still from time to time i get a page that hangs there not being loaded, which pisses me off beyond imagination, and I just hope this issue will be somehow addressed and fixed.

Did you try disabling JavaScript temporarily to determine if it is involved instead of the connection settings?

So, if JS is involved, then what? Sure, it is an issue behind n-1 errors on loading.

Really, this has all been discussed upsteam and seems to go in cycles (not reading thread?).

lksd's post got me to rethinking Max Persistent Connections Server. The default is 6, so I tried 4 and, to my amazement, I've totally eliminated all n-1 errors and slow loading. Loads super fast.

So, while other tweaks helped, this fixed my problem. The link (below) with all the images on 30 hosts really will give you an idea how Opera loads and how fast. I love to see ALL of those things load in seconds!!

http://stevesouders.com/hpws/max-connections.php

Enter in address bar: Opera:config
Go to Performance tab

In Opera 9.xx, there is not specific setting for Max Persistent Connections Server -- just a checkbox labled, "Reduce Max Persistent Connections Server."

I do not have to restart or reboot; I get quick, clean loading of all sites! Over a week now! How pleasant.

Way to go lksd! Congratulations! You solved the problem!

j

Greetings, gdveggie!!

Yes, those play a role and I've change some of the settings. But, he did not mention the big one, IMHO:
Max Persistent Connections Server. Yeah, we have a WINNER!

You seldom see it mentioned because it was only a checkbox in versions up to and INCLUDING version 11.01. So, this is new with version 11.11 -- now you can select specific values. Maybe this is Opera's solution to n-1?? I have had as many as 30 open tabs and they all open fast. Quite amazing, really. I have made the same changes to Opera on my other machines. All super fast, complete loading, etc.

For me, dropping it from the default of 6 to 4 was like sunshine after a storm!

My Opera is alive!

Of course, it may be a different value for others. This site really lets you see everything loading:
http://stevesouders.com/hpws/max-connections.php

The n-1 dragon has been slain...a new Opera adjustable setting noticed by lksd. Will this be the end of this maga-thread or will others come to see THE solution to the evil n-1 dragon?

j

I never changed the maximum persistent settings in Opera.

Its at the default 6 , (just like the Firefox default) and I thought that has to do with getting all the page elements on the same connection.

Anyhow I do have Enable Pipelining Checked, which seems some sites respond to better with it.

The connections per server are still at the default here.

I don't see n-1 hangs with the default settings. It seemed to be more with "tweaking" the Ethernet Card settings for a specific broadband connection, rather than just browser settings.

If it works for you on all sites over time then its interesting to know that.
