Strange Behaviour with Site Loading

Posted on April 1, 2014

My site is formcrafts.com. A typical page has, say, 100 resources which it fetches from the server. On a regular page load, about 95 of them are loaded in an instant, 5 get stuck. These 5 appear to be random resources, and won’t load even if I wait for a minute.

When I do a hard refresh, some other 5 will get stuck. It takes about 2 - 3 refreshes to load one page. I don’t think the problem is with my internet, since other sites load fine. The speed is 16 mbps.

What could be causing this? Is it because the DO server is in USA, while I am loading the site from India, and other sites, which are loading fine, use CDN? I tested my site using pingdom, with their US servers, and the load time is always less than 1s

How do I troubleshoot this?
