Does anyone know of a way to pause a page while it loads to diagnose bugs in the loading process?
I've read that I can hit escape to pause things, but no, I tried and it doesn't work.
Also, if anyone know of css fixes or other fixes for this site, that would help too. I have css to block some of the zooming animation on the front page, but not the zooming/expanding animation around selected text fields here.

The Esc key often can interrupt further retrievals, but probably won't stop Firefox from laying out the page using the files it already retrieved.

Can you create a list of the things that need attention?
Meanwhile, for text inputs, try these rules to override the border/box shadow changes:
input[type="text"]:focus, input[type="text"]:hover, input[type="search"]:focus, input[type="search"]:hover, textarea:focus, textarea:hover { border-color: #888 !important; box-shadow: none !important; }Read this answer in context 👍 1

Hi,
Press ctrl + shift + c to show the Google Chrome's console tools, switch the tab to “Network” part. 6. Type the domain of the webpage in the domain space, and press Enter. The webpage will load together with the time taken to load the page, keep an eye on the “Timeline” row.
Thank you.

For example, strobing on a Cloudfare delay page.
Thanks for the css, it definitely helps. I've also had some trouble with the screen flashing when searching.

When does that tend to come up? I load so many tabs in the background that I may be missing it.

The search uses "instant" results that change with every letter you type, so I'm not surprised that is distracting. I don't know whether there is a way to turn that off, or whether it will make more search to search in a different way. I'll have to look at that more closely.
Meanwhile, the site has a search plugin to integrate with the address bar or separate search bar. To open that, click the Page Actions menu button (•••) in the address bar, and you can add it from the item at the bottom.
