Chrome hangs after certain amount of data transfered - waiting for available socket

I've got a browser game and I have recently started adding audio to the game.

Chrome does not load the whole page and gets stuck at "91 requests | 8.1 MB transferred" and does not load any more content; and it even breaks the website in all other tabs, saying Waiting for available socket.

After 5 mins (exactly) the data are loaded.

This does not happen on any other browser.

Removing one MP3 file (the latest added one) fixed the problem, so is it perhaps a data limit problem?

Solution

  • Looks like you are hitting the limit on connections per server. I see you are loading a lot of static files and my advice is to separate them on subdomains and serve them directly with Nginx for example.

    • Create a subdomain called img.yoursite.com and load all your images from there.

    • Create a subdomain called scripts.yourdomain.com and load all your JS and CSS files from there.

    • Create a subdomain called sounds.yoursite.com and load all your MP3s from there... etc..

    Nginx has great options for directly serving static files and managing the static files caching.
