Webadmin Menu Only Slow

I assumed this was already known about but i dont see it listed?

The menu on the webadmin is slow. You can watch it builkd on each page refresh and takes maybe 3 seconds.

IE6 up to date
Gig network
2Gb CPU + 1Gb RAM all the latest bits firewall hardare

Happy to post other details.

It is just a bit annoying cause if you go fster than the menu (i.e. click before it is built then your actions fail with an error like "the page contains beth secure and non secure components"

this is a known issue..supposedly fixes in an earlier update..but apparently in your situation that is not the case.

The only up2date I have applied to this box is 17.

I believe that the fix that was supposed to sort this was pre-up2date 17 so I am not sure it is worth the effort?

No it was a completely new build from scratch. No import of anything except the license.

Hi PenTest,

the menu is a javascript based menu.

two factors can slow down the displaying of this menu.

1) slow connection to firewall
If you have a slow connection to the firewall, downloading the HTML page which is larger than regular pages can take time and this results in a slower rendering of the menu. We also some small images inside the menu, if you have a slow or busy connection this also can slow down the building of the menu.
Once the HTML page and the images are loaded inside the browser, everything should be lighting fast.
What kind of network connection is between the Client PC that accesses WebAdmin and the firewall?
Is this network connection busy?

2) slow client machine accessing WebAdmin
As all the rendering of WebAdmin is done on the client pc, an older, slower pc or an older browser can slowdown the rendering or the changes inside the menu.
What kind of client/browser/pc are you using to view WebAdmin?

regards
Gert
