Yesterday, I updated the firmware of my router (TP-Link TL-WR840N v4) to version 19.07.0 and ran into the almost ubiquitous “Loading view…”. I find him almost wherever I go, but the waiting time is different. Somewhere it lasts 1-3 seconds, and somewhere up to 5-10 seconds. This is very annoying.
Tested through Firefox and Chromium. There is no time difference. Anyone have any ideas for reducing response time?
Can you check whether non-HTTPS works fast? You might need to disable/comment out the listen_https and redirect_https directives in /etc/config/uhttpd.
The HTTPS slowness is hard to solve. Browsers, Chrome in particular, proactively open many parallel SSL connections which strains the relatively slow CPU on your device.
As for improving the general performance, please try the following:
install uhttpd-mod-ubus using opkg
restart uhttpd
logout in LuCI and close the browser tab to clear the session storage
reopen LuCI in a new browser tab and see if performance improved
Now everything has become clear. Performance has improved, the interface opens almost immediately after clicking. I think this is enough for me. Thanks for the help!
