Hi,
As default we use CentOS and firefox. Browsing git.centos.org is horrible. On machines I have the browser dies until it loads what I see as not needed content.
The site is listing dups of repos with different paths. E.G.
https://git.centos.org/summary/!!!!!rpms!git https://git.centos.org/summary/!!!!!rpms!git.git
The whole experience is horrid for devs and users.
Can we look at it, you are the core SIG.
Regards
Phil

I second this 10000 times.

Hi,
I have same experience with Firefox, fortunately we can use browser of choice in my work (ex.Chrome). Generally speaking FF have problem with large pages.
My specs are: i5-3320M and 16gb of ram, with ssd so it's not beast but definitely enough for me.
The version of Firefox that I'm using is : `firefox --version` Mozilla Firefox 45.5.0
Example of pages what can even crash Firefox: https://git.centos.org/repositories/
After some loading there is irresponsible button from gnome (I click wait and wait even more) then when Firefox starts to be responding there is FF information about not responding script.
"A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, open the script in the debugger, or let the script continue.
Script: https://git.centos.org/bootstrap/js/jquery.js:2"
Other page that is very good for testing is page with lots of packags (repo page) ex: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/os/x86_64/Packages/ Chrome loads page piece by piece then FF is unresponsive for some quite a long time.
Have anyone tried with newer Firefox? I can investigate it further but there is zero/(meteorite hitting earth in next 5 minutes) chance that it will change the version of FF in RHEL :))
Regards
Alex
TL;DR - It's quite possible that it's problem with FF, because Chrome works fine.

I assume you mean the repositories page, not the front page? The latter loads in 8.89s in Firefox 50.1.0, the stable release (non-ESR), on my old Mac mini (featuring a 2.26GHz Core 2 Duo from 2009). It might help to disable the ad-blocker or other extensions for *.centos.org, some of them really slow things down.
Firefox had pretty inefficient code for rendering tables, and git.centos.org/repositories is one giant table. Back in the Firefox 49 days, it took almost 4 minutes to render that page on my Mac mini. A Mozillian told me to try Firefox Developer Edition (basically Aurora), since there were significant improvements in table layout code around version 50-51. With the current stable release, 50.1.0, that page now loads in 55s and the web content process needs 411MB RAM. Firefox Developer Edition, version 52, can do it in 48s (in all cases, new profiles with no extensions). Unfortunately it'll still take a while until these improvements land in Firefox ESR, the version packaged in CentOS and RHEL.
For comparison: Chrome currently needs 2m39s and 408MB RAM, while Safari needs 1m50s and 411MB RAM (although the page appears fully loaded after just 28s and you can scroll around - there are just minor height adjustments of individual rows after that).
I also tried "curl https://git.centos.org/repositories/ -o /dev/null" and noticed the page content is 15MB, but not a single byte arrives in the first 20-21 seconds. Perhaps reverse proxying would help, even set to a small value like 10-60 seconds - at least for anonymous users.
Best regards, Laurențiu

we use gitblit, I would encourage you to engage with the upstream ( that would also be the place to submit patches )
The site is listing dups of repos with different paths. E.G.
https://git.centos.org/summary/!!!!!rpms!git https://git.centos.org/summary/!!!!!rpms!git.git
This specific issue I intend to fix permanently in the coming days, I've done a bit of work to remove the easier entry points creating this, but we have a few more to resolve.

Bless you. "Small" problems like this make a real barrier to entry, and leave a bad impression for new users.
Same experience. Even in chrome it is too slow and un-usable for search/browsing =\

The best patch - use something usable/browserable/modern for web-GUI ( http://www.devopsbookmarks.com/linux+open-source+scm ) Like Gitlab, Phabricator and so on.
