Loading URL takes 9.55 seconds for me. Only after waiting that long, the input fields for username and password are available for text input.
In the list of 25 HTTP requests involved in loading the page, I see duplicates for the following:
- https://office.wikimedia.org/w/api.php?action=ulslocalization&language=en&namespace=ext-uls
- https://office.wikimedia.org/w/api.php?action=ulslocalization&language=en&namespace=uls
Other details:
- OSX 10.8.4
- Firefox 21.0
Similarly reproduced in OSX/Chrome 27.
If I recall correctly, the API should only be used for legacy browsers, and not the more modern browsers. Something feels very off here.
