Does this futuristic website crash all the time for you?

[prehensile]

please try this futuristic page in chrome and say if it crashes alot and if the website is barely useable. the navigation pages for me are hurrendous, the code pages are fine.

I would like to know why prehensile is asking. What connection do you have with the website if any ?

Browser juddered to a complete halt and hung.
Cheers for that... !!

I avoided it last time as it sounded awful, curiousity and boredom had me checking it out this time round, expecting the worst.

Confirmed that although it looks nice (and not particularly futuristic), it's pretty poorly executed, and the browser has a hard time processing all the script on each page. Your admin friend needs to do some profiling and sort it out.

i am learning shader development and obsessed by procedural programming, it is an amazing website for me, but it compiles much too slowly to be useable.

So i wrote the I Quilez the creator-genius of the website, to tell him to please make the GL compilation sequential, and to make less per page / to make animated gif previews.

he replied to me:

As far as i am aware, It works fine on every other PC i tried... the only slowdown is the compilation of the code sometimes, in advance of the page running, he said.

I was stumped by his reply, and i nead some third party corroboration in order to persuade Mr Quilez to make his website useable. except, where can i ask some people to check the website out? i tried stack exchange and was downmarked by someone, a games programming site and only had 1 reply, so i figured, Hexus, my favourite forum from back in the day, folk there are knowledgeable and helpful maybe they will confirm that the website, not my Chrome version, has problems.

So please, if it doesnt work for you, i'll pass on that it doesnt work for practically everybody, and perhaps he will improve the website.

Small freeze up of all chrome windows during load, then perfectly fine.

Site hangs and then crashs shortly after on IE, Firefox and Chrome for me.
