Responsive Classic Template BLINKS when clicking links

[chadderuski]

Hiya,

Been trying out 155. Fresh install, imported products from live site. PHP 5.6.19, MySQL 5.5.29 running on capable VPS.

When I navigate around the website, or am clicking "Next" between products, I have the entire page go "BLANK" randomly between clicks. Give the impression that the whole page "BLINKS" out before refreshing. This happens about every 3rd or 4th click, but sometime sooner too.

My live site doesn't do that. Granted, it's running 1.3.9 that I put a lot of effort into optimizing, but I never get
this blinking effect when clicking any link.

It's running on an unused IP at the moment instead of a domain name. That shouldn't matter, right?

Ideas?

Thanks!

Don't know your VPS specs but here is a stock ZenCart v1.5.5 install on a real server you can test HERE

Yours blinks too, kobra ...

NOTE: blinks appear to happen in FireFox and Chrome ... so far not seeing them in IE

[Ajeh]

Never mind, blinks in IE if you do more hits like browsing through product_info pages as in NEXT through it ...

hahahahaha ... I suppose "real" is a dedicated box?

NOTE: amazon and bestbuy etc all blink technically speaking ... just not always as noticable on bigger servers ...

No - Shared hosting on a real server not VPS

Allot of the "blinking" has to do with render-blocking JavaScript and CSS in above-the-fold content.

I first noticed this when jQuery CDN was added to the html_header.php

Just my opinion
