Our team recently completed a portal project that is now live and operational. After thorough testing, everything seemed to be working perfectly until a customer used Internet Explorer with Citrix VPS, causing the page to take 12 seconds to fully load.
Comparatively, loading the portal on Chrome without VPS takes only 1-2 seconds (depending on caching), while loading it on I.E. without caching takes around 5 seconds.
Upon investigating with the customer, we discovered that HTML and SQL loaded in 3 seconds, but JavaScript took an additional 8 seconds to fully load.
Currently, our portal utilizes Bootstrap and DataTables as plugins, along with some custom code integrated into it.
If anyone has encountered similar issues or has recommendations on how to optimize the performance, your insights would be greatly appreciated.
Feel free to reach out if you require further details or information.
Best regards, Jacco
