I noticed that with chrome, sidebar frequently flickers. Not always but flickers.
I didnt see the same issue with Firefox or Edge? Do u have any idea why it happens with Chrome?
Hi there,
Not quite sure what you meant by flickers but I'm not seeing any issues with Chrome at all.
Can you provide a quick video on what you are seeing?
when I click sidebar links or hit the refresh or home button, the widgets, elements etc sometimes flicker. Looks likes widget items are being repositioned or re-loaded. Hard to detect. May be there is something wrong with my chrome settings.
I just refreshed a few times and clicked on the menu items but didn't see any movement at all :)
Wouldn't worry about it.
I recorded a video showing intense flickering. Do u have any idea why it is happening , any suggestion?
Not able to duplicate that using Chrome: http://www.screencast.com/t/4Ydh68UrK
Is it happening on all browsers for you?
just chrome, Edge and Firefox work normal.
Maybe you have a Chrome extension glitching out? Have you tried in Incognito mode?
same thing happens randomly ( I mean not always) in incognito mode too. I am having this strange behaviour with my site only and only with chrome.
Do you have another computer to check on? Or maybe a friend/family member who can check?
I just tried for a few minutes and couldn't get it to happen at all.
it is same with another laptop too however installation of chrome is almost identical.
Every time I refresh the page by pressing F5 my subscribe newsletter widget on the sidebar flickers.
If you dont see the same issue when refresh several times then it should be related with my own settings.
Ah, I believe what you're seeing is the content loading. Everything else loads so fast that it's not even visible. Since the sidebar content is loaded after the main content, it takes a little bit longer, and causes that flash as it loads.
I dont know why but flickering is an issue with my chrome as u see in the recorded video. but you guys say it looks normal then it should be something with my settings. OK. thanks alot Tom.
No problem!
I do believe what you're seeing is just the site loading. You may have some CSS loading in the footer of the website, which means it will take an extra half second to read and apply to the HTML. Might be worth checking out.
