Re: [squid-users] Part of Page Loading Slowly

TCP window scaling was the issue. I believe the real issue is caused
by the company that hosts the site I'm trying to access and I
performed a workaround. I'd like to let them know what was causing the
issue.

Started working immediately after:
echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_window_scaling
