Click to Design: the 8 requests for Infigo
Send Infigo the 8 requests below and ask for three things per request: status, redirect target, response time. Start with StartEditor/2793 at 21 Aug 22:11:23 to :26 UTC.
A visitor presses Click to Design and the page freezes with no feedback. Usually the designer arrives after a few seconds. In these 8 cases the server sent the home page, sent nothing, or took 84 seconds. About 1 tap in 300 fails outright.
Every time below is read from the event log, where each tap, page unload and page load carries its own time stamp. The replay picture often freezes at a navigation, so it is only an illustration.
The 8 requests
tap → page unloads → what came back
Recording links open the player 10 s before the tap. Times UTC. "start_design" in the player's activity list is the tap.
| What came back | UTC | Request | Event log | Recording |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Home page | 21 Aug 22:11:23 to :26 |
POST /p/4080 3 taps |
Page unloads at :26. Home page at :32, and it reports its previous page as /CF/DynamicProduct/StartEditor/2793?orderProductId=-1&metaData=e0c88f1b...&editType=6. The click reached the editor start step and the start step sent the visitor home. Visitor found the product by hand at 22:18:10, designer then opened in 14 s. |
01a02660 MP4Chrome Android. Picture: tap, 6 s frozen, home page. Best one to show. |
| Nothing | 21 Aug 17:21:38 |
POST /p/3712 | Page unloads 2 s later, nothing after. Had used the designer twice earlier in the visit. | 01a0253d MP4Chrome phone. Picture stops at the tap. |
| Nothing | 9 Sep 02:04:19 |
POST /p/781 | Page unloads 3 s later, nothing after. | 01a083c7 MP4Chrome phone. Picture: 2 s frozen, then stops. |
| Nothing | 10 Sep 04:17:38 |
POST /p/2220 | Page unloads 3 s later, nothing after. | 01a08988 MP4Chrome phone. Picture: 3 s frozen, then stops. |
| Nothing | 10 Sep 05:24:53 |
POST /p/3180 | 19 s of nothing, page unloads at 05:25:12, nothing after. | 01a089c5 MP4Chrome desktop. Picture: 7 s frozen, then stops. The leave at 19 s is event log only. |
| Nothing | 11 Sep 22:12:14 |
POST /p/1471 | Page unloads 5 s later. Visitor pressed Back to the product page, left 3 s after. | 01a09286 MP4Chrome desktop. Picture: tap, 5 s frozen, Back, leave. |
| Nothing | 12 Sep 10:13:31 |
POST /p/2975 | Page unloads 8 s later. Visitor pressed Back to the product page, left 3 s after. | 01a09515 MP4Chrome phone. Picture: tap, 8 s frozen, Back, leave. |
| 84 s late | 22 Aug 14:03:28 |
POST /p/781 | Page unloads at :34. Designer page starts loading 14:04:24, on screen 14:04:52, under a different tab id. Its own load took 9 s. Visitor then designed 21 min and bought. | 01a029c5 MP4Edge desktop. Picture jumps between tabs. Use the activity list. |
"Nothing" means whatever came back carried no tracking, so it was not a site page and not the designer. A blank or error page fits. A visitor closing the tab looks the same in the event log, which is why the request lookup settles it.
Three more cases sit in Hotjar with order product ids Infigo can look up directly: 973511, 973794, 976286. JC's 44 remaining Hotjar recordings are grouped with links on the Trello card. Order products 980509 to 980511 are our own test from 6 Sep, ignore those.
Why the home page case is proof, in order
21 Aug, recording 01a02660 MP4, times UTC. No designer opened, and nobody closed one.
- 22:11:23 to :26. Three taps on Click to Design. The page did not change, so the visitor tapped again twice.
- 22:11:26 to :32. Waiting. No designer page loaded, no designer event, no designer console line. Opening and closing a designer leaves all three.
- 22:11:32. The home page appears, and its own tracking reports where it came from: the StartEditor address of the click. So Infigo's start step received the click and answered with the home page.
- 22:11:32 to 22:18:10. The visitor searches for the product by hand.
- 22:18:24. The designer opens normally on the second try.
Five more visitors gave up during the wait
Tap, page unloads, then the previous page of the visit appears. A Back press, not a server answer. These show the silent wait, not a wrong answer. An earlier version of this page listed them as "server sent a category page", and that reading was wrong.
| UTC | Request | Event log | Recording |
|---|---|---|---|
| 21 Aug 17:45:01 |
POST /p/2218 | Back after 7 s to /c/49, the page before the product. Left. | 01a0256c MP4Firefox desktop. Picture: tap, 7 s frozen, category page. |
| 23 Aug 03:27:42 to :44 |
POST /p/3379 3 taps |
Page unloads at :48. Back to /c/24 at 03:28:07. Left. | 01a02c9e MP4Safari iPhone. Picture: taps, freeze, category page, and the player may jump tabs. |
| 26 Aug 02:17:50 |
POST /p/2965 | Had the designer open a minute earlier, pressed Back, tapped again, waited 7 s, Back again to /c/23. | 01a03bd8 MP4Chrome Android. Picture still shows the earlier designer. Do not use for showing. |
| 3 Sep 02:54:30 and :33 |
POST /p/3949 2 taps |
Same as above. Back to /c/24 after 12 s. Next product at 02:55:20 opened in 4 s. | 01a06522 MP4Samsung Internet. Picture shows the earlier designer. Do not use for showing. |
| 3 Sep 18:02:33 |
POST /p/80 | Page unloads 2 s later, Back to /c/98, left. | 01a0686a MP4Chrome phone. Picture stops 1 s after the tap. |
How often
- Every tap waits with no feedback on screen. Median 4.6 s from tap to designer, 1 in 4 visitors over 8 s, 1 in 10 over 11 s (4,143 sessions, 19 Aug to 5 Sep).
- Recorded taps since 19 Aug: 2,720 in 1,308 visits. 2,299 opened the designer within a minute, 99 opened it without a page view being logged, 8 are on the lookup list, 5 are Back presses.
- Re-clicks: 9% of visitors tapped again within 15 s. Since 2 Sep the button dims on tap and re-clicks fell to 1 to 3%.
- PostHog recorded 15% of visits until 14 Sep and 100% since. Expect about one new lookup case every 2 days from now on.
Ruled out
- The browser. The button is a plain form submit. The three scripts listening to it (field validator, Infigo diagnostic, Klaviyo tracker) never cancel it. No console error at the tap. Every recorded tap left the browser.
- The replay picture skipping or freezing. All times come from the event log clock, not the player.
- The designer's own errors ("$ is not defined" and others). They fire inside an already open designer.
A second, separate bug: the designer stalls inside its own loading
8 cases in 2,708 loads. Here the click worked and the designer page arrived within seconds, then one of its own loading steps hung. Read from the designer's console log. Median designer load is 3.5 s and 9 in 10 finish under 8 s. The 32 to 131 s stalls are real; the 4 to 41 min ones are phones put to sleep mid-load. Not part of the Infigo request lookup.
| UTC | Step that hung | Stall | Designer ready after | Recording |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 21 Aug 20:50 | Backgrounds | 2471 s | 41 min | 01a025ca MP4 |
| 14 Sep 19:16 | Variables | 494 s | 8 min | 01a0a159 MP4 |
| 26 Aug 20:18 | Backgrounds | 254 s | 4 min | 01a03fac MP4 |
| 28 Aug 03:54 | Backgrounds | 234 s | 4 min | 01a04657 MP4 |
| 14 Sep 19:42 | Gallery | 131 s | 2 min | 01a0a16a MP4 |
| 5 Sep 19:25 | Scripts | 58 s | 1 min | 01a07308 MP4 |
| 2 Sep 22:42 | Backgrounds | 44 s | 56 s | 01a06446 MP4 |
| 26 Aug 20:09 | Scripts | 32 s | 32 s | 01a03fac MP4 |
Also removed from the click problem: three phone visits on 14 and 15 Sep with the designer 7 to 10 min after the tap. The phone was asleep, and once the request went out the server answered in under 9 s.
How to read a recording
- Trust the activity list, not the picture. Events are sent with their own time stamps. The picture is sent in chunks, and the last chunk before a page unloads often never arrives.
- Switch off "Skip inactivity" (settings cog under the video). A frozen page counts as idle, so the player fast-forwards the wait.
- After a Back press the browser restores the page from memory without a fresh picture, so 01a03bd8 and 01a06522 look like "already in the designer".
- When the next page opens under a new tab id the player switches tabs, which is why 01a029c5 and 01a02c9e jump.
The event log cannot tell a blank server answer from a closed tab. Infigo's server log settles that, which is the reason for the lookup list.
Next
- Infigo: status, redirect target and response time for the 8 requests, starting with StartEditor/2793 on 21 Aug.
- Us: watch the 100% recording for new cases, and match the 6 "nothing" visits in Hotjar.
