If you have been using StocksCafe for the last few days, you might have experienced extremely slow loading of some of the pages on desktop. I apologize for the poor experience. It is likely due to the auto-completion feature (suggesting stocks as you type) that is available on some pages such as this and this.

It is the combination of poor design of the auto-complete feature and the caching servers going down. Essentially, I was doing eager loading (i.e. load all possible stocks in anticipation). I have now switched to lazy loading (i.e. load matching stocks as you type). However, note that to minimize the number of matches, it will make suggestions only when there are three or more characters.

Many thanks to the user who reported this to me. Please continue to notify me
