Calculate Page Load Time

Hi All,
Is it possible to calculate the page load time in ADF?
Regards,
Rekha

@Chris I've given up on suspectin' and need some directin' :)
@Rehka - if you are talking about doing this at runtime (as opposed to at "performance testing" time) - you would have to measure the page load times at the end-user browser session. The only way to do this (quite obviously) is to have code running at the browser side to do this. I believe GMail does something like this and offers the end user a choice to revert to a more basic interface if the connection seems to be slow, but I have no idea how it's done (well, I'm pretty sure that it uses Javascript, but that's the extent of my idea).

Calculating Page Loading Time

Hi Friends,
I wouldlike to know how to calculate the page loading time after I click a button on a page. Assume that after clickiing the button, first a servelt is called, processing is done and after that a jsp will be thrown to browser. Now after completely loading the JSP page, I mean, status bar in the browser is clean and no globe is revolving at the top of the browser, I need to insert this page loading time into database.
How can I do this using java technology.
Plase throw some light on this . It is very urgent.
Thanks & Regards,

Do you mean that you want something on your server to know how long it took the browser to load the page? There's no way to know that. After your server sends the data, that data can travel over a variety of communication networks and through a variety of network node computer buffers. Moreover, your page may have links (to images for example) that the browser will also load via separate requests.
All you can tell is how long it took your server to produce and send the page.

Web Server NetworkTopology - Reduce Web Page Loading Times

Hello,
Not sure which forum is best to approach because I think my setup and requirements may fall into several areas of consideration, but here goes. With reference to the diagram below:
Basically I host my own website using IIS on a W7 box that sits behind my Windows Server 2012R2 box that I use as a DNS server with the following roles:
Routing and Remote Access, DNS Server, AD, NAT
What I'm wanting to do is to change my network configuration to the bottom diagram i.e put my webserver in front of the the windows server so that it is internet facing without having to route HTTP requests through my server machine, the objective is to
limit the hardware that HTTP requests need to travel through in order to speed up the web page loading times. I have tried the new preferred configuration but I am actually finding that the web page takes another 10 seconds longer to load with the new configuration.
My DNS server is authoritative for my website domain name, my idea or understanding for the new configuration is the following: (this may be wrong, not sure!)
Someone browses my site i.e makes an initial DNS request for my website, the DNS inquiry is passed through my hardware firewall to my DNS server, the DNS server then points the DNS request to the webserver box, then when an HTTP request for website is received
by my hardware firewall, the firewall redirects the HTTP request directly to the webserver.
I thought that the above new configuration would actually speed up the web page loading response time as the HTTP traffic would no longer have to travel through my DNS server before reaching the webserver and then make its way back to the remote host across
the WAN
Can someone please tell me where I am going wrong with my configuration? thanks in advance

Hi,
Is your website loaded very slow?
If yes, please try to perform a network capture on the client. We can find which part is slow by analysing the capture data.
If the DNS process is slow, please try to use nslookup to verify if it is a DNS issue.
If the HTTP process is slow, please check if there is any tcp retransmission in the capture data.
Best Regards.

Archives, Page Load Time, Commenting and Trackback

I've been looking through the iWeb forums somewhat, as well as designing a little bit of a website in iWeb (link), and I've found some things to be excited about, and some things that are still unknown. (Here's my original .Mac site, which I will continue to maintain for now).
I really need commenting to work before I can switch to using iWeb as my blogging tool (right now I use Thingamablog, which works pretty well, but is 'unpolished'). I haven't taken too much time to experiment with hand-coding the template files (plus, I haven't found where they might be...), but it looks like the HTML output of iWeb is something I wouldn't want to deal with anyway.
Another feature of the blogging in iWeb that could use a complete overhaul is the archive. I don't think it's at all sensible to put every single entry (if only a title) on one web page; after a month (or a year, in my case), that page would be so long no one would ever think about scrolling through it to see an entry.
And, after reading a few other user's opinions of iWeb, I've found that, yes, it is stupid to have to hand-format every single blog entry (moving text, moving images around, etc.). Very un-intuitive for anyone who blogs more than once a week.
Finally, as other users have posted, the load time for pages is terrible. I thought that iWeb would do a great job at making things look nice using JPEGs and fairly small file sizes, however, I've found that, even if I pre-format a graphic for the right size in Photoshop, the file is converted to a PNG in iWeb, with a ridiculously large file size.
There are a few other problems with iWeb, such as it's inability to allow target="_blank" links for opening new windows, and some other fairly common features of even the simplest blog and website creation tools, and I only hope that these things will be fixed and improved dramatically, or I may never find a use for iWeb.
Now, you may say I am not the user iWeb was intended for... and you are partly right. However, I am looking for a simple tool for a quick picture page or a blog, with little or no hassle, that looks great and doesn't make a huge (in terms of file size) web page. I will have to stick to using Adobe GoLive and Thingamablog for the time being, even for small projects, until some of the above features are added.
P.S. I have also sent this post as feedback to Apple. I suggest you do the same.
[Edit: I've found this thread discussing where templates and such are, but that is no help, since the templates themselves are not very easy to understand...]

Hi Anoop21,
>>Could you please explain the difference between Page Load Time and Page Response Time ?
Based on your issue, I know that the Page Load time is used to count load a page main requests and all dependent requests (images, css, js...) time.
The Page Response Time is count the page main requests time without including the dependent requests time.
So the different is that if the page has the dependent requests.
Hope it help you!

Page load time differences between IE and Firefox

Hello all,
I have a problem with page loading time in IE 8. My page contains tabular form, classic report and some other items. I use some javascript code(placed in HTLM Header section) and also dynamic actions. When I try to display the page in IE I have to wait for 40 seconds (100 rows in tabular form). I realized that the performance is dependent on the number of displayed rows in the tabular form. But decrease the number of visible rows, using pagination, is not an option, because all needed rows should be visible for the users. During the tests I have tried to remove all the JS code and disable all the dynamic action, but the loading time was more or less the same.
When I try to run the same page in FireFox then it is displayed in 4 seconds!
I have already try to search some tips or advices how to speed up the page loading, but only what I have found out is, that every web browser is different. The javascript is handled differently, page rendering is done differently and so on.
Maybe there is something what I have missed, and you experts can help me. Is there anything general what I should check or change to speed up the loading time in IE?
Thanks in advance!

APEX v. 4.2.1.00.08
IE 8.0.7600.16358
FF 19.0.2

Thanks Denes for your reply.
I use HttpWatch tool to measure the loading times. Reports are mostly the same for IE and FF. I can see from the report, there is three times shown error 404 Not Found for the items below.
http://......./images/sRegion-Body.png
http://......./images/sRegion-Bottom.png
http://......./images/sReportBG-Standard.png
The last action which caused 404 error started 2 seconds after the page was asked to refresh. The next action http://......../i/libraries/jquery-ui/1.8.22/ui/i18n/oracle/jquery.ui.datepicker-cs.js started after 38 seconds (hanging in the same place for 36 seconds). Does it mean that the problem is caused by http://......./images/sReportBG-Standard.png action which returns 404 error?
How can I add the missing images?

Slow page loading / Time outs

Hi guys,
I am getting very slow page loading times. This only started to happen today, before this my connection has been solid.
I have reset the router, all the other PCs in my house are having the same problem. I am not running any P2P/Downloading software.
Speedtest says I am connected at 12MBPs. It takes me a very long time to load a page and most of the time they just time out.
Router stats -

Page load time of portal

What is the average page loading time of webcenter portal?

2 to 5 content presenters on a single page is to much. You need to try to consolidate the content so you can minimize the number of content presenters on a page.
Most of the time the problem is in the content model. Even complex content models can be put in a single data file by using lists and so on. This way you can minimize the CP's to one or two per page.
When using coherence you should always set the expiry-delay for the ContentNodeCaches to 0 which means that coherence will never invalidate the cache!
The reason behind this is that the connection to UCM implements a content sweeper which will invalidate the cache items that have been changed. In the Enterprise Manager you have the field "Cache Invalidation Interval". This will determine the interval in which a service from UCM is called to check which items have been updated. This will also notify coherence and update the nodes with the new version.
That's why the expiry delay needs to set to 0 in coherence.
Also set the high units to 80% of your entire repository that is used on the top pages. This can easily be 10000 without problem.
I'm planning on writing a blog post about these configurations later on.
The JOC configuration is OOTB but you need to run a script to enable it. It is recommended when you use WC Spaces.

Single page application and page load time

I'm trying to instrument a "single page application" with Application Insights but it seems that there is not way to provide manually the performance data (page load time) when invoking the logPageView() method.
The single page application has a "unique page" and all views are displayed using internal routing feature without refreshing the main page once it is loaded. So the logPageView() method is invoked multiple times: one of each displayed view.
It means that the built-in performance counter (netCon, ..., ptotal) based on window.performance.timing.* do not make sense for this type of application, that should be based on manual computation of the time needed to render each view.
Is there any method to provide manually this information using logPageView() or separate method ? If not, is there any idea to fully support in the future the single page application ?
Thanks in advance,
Maurizio

Hello Maurizio,
Do you still have the same issue with the latest
AI in Azure Portal?
There should be new API layer with the ability to submit custom properties and metrics. This might work well for you scenario. AI nugets are still in preview, please, use "Show Prerelease" in VS when adding those.

Method called at page load time of jspx page

I am using the jdeveloper11.1.1.1.0 version.
is there any method that is called at page load time. in this method i need to apply the set where clause on view object and some more functionality i need to add here.in ADf life cycle , is there any method like init() ?
Sailaja

you would have implement PagePhaseListener and extend this from your backing bean class..
package view.controller;
import oracle.adf.controller.v2.context.PageLifecycleContext;
import oracle.adf.controller.v2.lifecycle.Lifecycle;
import oracle.adf.controller.v2.lifecycle.PagePhaseEvent;
import oracle.adf.controller.v2.lifecycle.PagePhaseListener;
import oracle.adf.model.binding.DCBindingContainer;
import oracle.adf.model.binding.DCIteratorBinding;
import oracle.binding.BindingContainer;
public class CustomPagePhaseListener implements PagePhaseListener {
     * Before the ADF page lifecycle's prepareModel phase, invoke a
     * custom onPageLoad() method. Subclasses override the onPageLoad()
     * to do something interesting during the
     * @param event
    public void beforePhase(PagePhaseEvent event) {
      PageLifecycleContext ctx = (PageLifecycleContext)event.getLifecycleContext();
      if (event.getPhaseId() == Lifecycle.PREPARE_MODEL_ID) {
        bc = ctx.getBindingContainer();
        onPageLoad();
        bc = null;
     * After the ADF page lifecycle's prepareRender phase, invoke a
     * custom onPagePreRender() method. Subclasses override the onPagePreRender()
     * to do something interesting during the
     * @param event
    public void afterPhase(PagePhaseEvent event) {
      PageLifecycleContext ctx = (PageLifecycleContext)event.getLifecycleContext();
      if (event.getPhaseId() == Lifecycle.PREPARE_RENDER_ID) {
        bc = ctx.getBindingContainer();
        onPagePreRender();
        bc = null;
    public void onPageLoad() {
      // Subclasses can override this.
    public void onPagePreRender() {
      // Subclasses can override this.
}add your backing bean class as controllerClass in the corressponding pageDef <pageDefinition....> tag.
ControllerClass="#{backingBeanScope.backing_YourBackingBean}"
in your backing bean add pageload method like below and put your code (this method being called when the page loads...)
public void onPageLoad() {

Setting components values in the ADF page load time

Hi,
We are trying to set the components labels dynamically, so each time the page is loaded we are loading the related labels from the database, instead of using the default database column names driven labels.
We get the labels text okay from the database in the afterPhase method, but we do not have access to the output text UI items then, so a call scuh as this getOutputText1() will return null.
We have also tried to use value binding for the output text, e.g. value=#{backing_untitled2.verbiage}, where verbiage attribute was set in the afterPhase method. The method is called okay and sets the attribute, but for some reason the attribute is then set back and displayed as null.
The same code is executed okay in a command button.
Any idea why is that failing, or how to populate these labels dynamically in the page load time better than the above?
Thanks in advance
Mohamed Elmallah

Hi,
I think you should re-think your strategy and not read the labels from the database all the time. Instead, read it into a class that extends HashMap one time and put it into the session. Then reference the bean #{sessionScope.beanname['label'], which will call the HashMap's getter method. Use the "label" name to find the label for the particular key
If you r application becomes big, you may want to think of handling the session bean size through leaning it under specific conditions

Calculating regular page load time

Hi all,
I have a requirement to calculate the average time taken by web pages of my application to load.Can anyone help me out in this?I'm working on struts framework and the server I'm using is jboss.I'm new to java/j2ee so if anyone can provide me with the exact program it would be a great help.

Hi evilknighthk,
Thanks for the reply and sorry for responding so late.Actually I was trying to learn the tool usage and whether I can use it in my application.
But I don't think I can use it in my case.My constraints are that I have to code a program in the web application itself which will generate the result and I can't use .NET.I have to do this in java/j2ee/struts itself.
One of my friends suggested Intercepting Filter patterns.
Currently I'm trying to explore that
Would be great if u can suggest me something else.
or if u can provide me some sample programs that wud be really helpful.
Thanks,
Prakash

Pages load times slow

When opening Pages '13 the load time simply to open up the application is extremely slow, over 1 minute, this has happened ever since loading that latest version and the app is not responding all the time it hangs but eventually comes back up . I rebooted the MAC just to verify and validate but still happening.
Any recommendations?

Restart with Shift key pressed. Log in and out again Restart in normal way and see if it helped.

Adobe Edge Animate JavaScript Coding issues/page load time speeds

To let you have an idea of my skill set I have a background in animation and design and have been taking classes in web development. My question is about how to create an interactive website that loads various animation depending on the user's choice and current place within the Adobe Edge Animate timeline. The website I developed for a client @ www.goshowpro.com works but loads slower than I want and doesn't format properly on my client's Macbook (I believe he needs to update his browsers but that is something else.)
So as you can see from looking at my website I used a multitude of HTML files to create my vision of an interactive website based off of a theatrical stage. I know this is not an ideal method. I would prefer to have it all on one page but I am having trouble with my javascript coding. I was wondering if there would be away to expedite my current site's load time and if not if you could look at my NEW coding. (This IS NOT the current coding on the site.)
if = "hstop" "chomstop" "shomstop" "phomstop"
{sym.play("hporstart")};
else = "hconstop" "sconstop" "pconstop"
{sym.play("cporstart")};
else = "hserstop" "cserstop" "pserstop"
{sym.play("sporstart")};
It looks crappy but I'm trying to learn so don't laugh too much. Thanks again.
Michael

Hi, Marlene-
We currently bundle jQuery 1.7.1 with the Animate runtime. In order to call fadeOut() on the element newSquare, you would do the following:
sym.$("newSquare").fadeOut();
OR
sym.getSymbol("newSquare").getSymbolElement().fadeOut();
Hope that helps!

What can be done to reduce page loading time?

Hi,
I've built a site to showcase my photographs and pages load slowly. It has about 70 pages and each page uses the same custom template that contains graphics and type. Hyperlinks navigate from page to page or from section to section. Each page has a unique photograph. The site can be seen at...

I'd like to reduce the time it takes to load a page.
In other web design applications it's possible to have all pages access a single graphic file, this speeds up page loading as the cache "remembers" the contents of the file and eliminates the need to reload it. Other posts in this forum indicate that this capability is not currently available in iWeb, however hoped for in Ver 2.0.
I'd appreciate any suggestions!
FYI: A typical page contains the following files (from the page)...

If you load the page you linked to and then open Safari's Activity window you'll see that those png files are all about from 0.1 to 2.6 kb in size. thats not very large at all. The largest file there is 66kb, the jpg background, and again not big. The Elijah jpg is 53 kb.
Those small png files are your links below the photo and probably the borders around it.
Here are some tips I've learned from these sites:
1 - do not use and frames or borders, etc. around photos.
2 - don't use any reflections.
3 - create your own navigation bar with linked text* and turn of the iWeb Navigation bar. The nav bar is all png based.
4 - use only the web safe fonts from the Font pane.
5 - do not use drop shadow on fonts.
6 - turn off smart quotes.
The above will reduce the number and size of files associated with a web page quite a bit. Photos with fancy frames and reflections can generate a thumbnail png of around 110KB whereas the plain version will be a jpg of only 28KB. Although it doesn't sound like a lot, it will speed up loading of the page and be more darkside (i.e. PC) friendly.
Run a test with a test site and publish to a folder. Then follow the hints above and publish to another folder and compare folders.
*Put your linked text directly under the Navigation bar. Then turn off the nav bar in the Inspector window. The nav bar will disappear and the linked text will move up to the top of the page. (This wouldn't apply to your site)
None of the pages I visited had any large png or unusually large files. One on the portrait 2 page was 448 kb and was the largest jpg I found.
On your portrait 6 page the drop shadows on the photos produced png files of 2.1 and 0.9 kb. The background is 66 kb.
As I said all the small png files are the borders and text links. I don't know if knocking out those drop shadows and eliminating those two files would make that big a difference for that page. One of the gurus here mentioned only adding a color background for the page and not the browser. I don't know how that would look or affect your site.
I like it by the way. Nice customization.
