Working on two blogs at 3pm CST and suddenly, they forwarded to frog.wix.com
Um, what was that? I couldn’t find any info on it.
Just blank pages. The source code gave some info about a user web kit…
Also, anyone else having blog issues since the convention? I made a copy of my site, but the site copy doesn’t contain all of my blog posts.
Have been having quite a few issues with the blog and editor for a month now. Am I the only one?
It’s not just the blog app that’s been glitching. It’s been happening with the forum app as well.
It’s a 1x1 image file, probably used for some type of analytics. The source you see is generated by Google Chrome.
frog.wix.com is Wix attempt at analytics/performance monitoring. It is yet another piece of bloatware that slows down your website. Try testing your website performance with https://webpagetest.org (make sure you choose a test location and device which is used by most your users - I normally choose a iPhone or Android device)
Be prepare to be shocked!
I couldn’t find the site for this but to answer the frog.wix.com is part of the Wix infrastructure as mentioned here: Google Search Console: "Page Resources Couldn't Be Loaded" Error | Help Center | Wix.com (though this article is more about SEO).
To also answer user259’s comment, I checked the network for these URL network requests and they’re 152 bytes which shouldn’t impact the delivery of the page. You can see the images below:
I did check webpagetest and my site’s performance wasn’t bad though I haven’t tried too heavily to optimize it to be fair: wixvault.com : Chro... : Toronto, Canada - WebPageTest Result
I will mention as well that when it comes to some tools like PageSpeedsInsights throttle mobile to a very slow rate. You can see for my site on mobile, the same site as above is throttled to 1.6mbs, which is low even for 4G LTE rates as provided by bandwidthplace.
Most users will have speeds much higher though it is a good barometer for seeing worst case scenarios of how a site might load on suboptimal speeds.
