Why does this “Slow network detected…” log appear in Chrome?

Question

I noticed this info log began to appear in Google Chrome Dev (Version 55.0.2883.18 dev) and I can\'t imagine why.

Slow network is detecte

Answer 1

I have network throttling disabled but started to get this error today on a 75mb/s business connection...

To fix it in my build of Chrome 60.0.3112.90 (Official Build) (64-bit) I opened the DevTools then navigated to the DevTools Settings then ticked 'Log XMLHttpRequests', unticked 'User messages only' and 'Hide network messages'

Answer 2

I faced same issue for chrome build 61.0.3163.100 on MacOs Sierra with localhost as server. Chrome started logging this message when I changed network speed configuration to 3G fast/ 3G slow and again back to Online.

Fix: When I tried selecting Offline mode and again Online mode, the logging issue disappeared. (This fix may no work on some devices or versions)

Update on 30th Jan 2018

I updated google chrome to Version 64.0.3282.119 (Official Build) (64-bit), it seems this bug is fixed now.

Answer 3

I just managed to make the filter regex work: /^((?!Fallback\sfont).)*$/.

Add it to the filter field just above the console and it'll hide all messages containing Fallback font.

You can make it more specific if you want.

Answer 4

The easiest way to disable this is uncheck the warnings in the chrome dev tools

Hope this helps.

Answer 5

Goto chrome://flags/#enable-webfonts-intervention-v2 and set it to disabled

It’s due to a bug in Chrome with their latest API for ‘network speed’. Hope it will be fixed in the next version

Answer 6

Go to the Font's stylesheet.css and add font-display: block; in all @font-face { }

This Stackoverflow Answer helped me..

Below is the Summary of the answer

If you can access to css of this extension, simply add font-display:block; on font-face definition or send feedback to developer of this extension:)

@font-face {
  font-family: ExampleFont;
  src: url(/path/to/fonts/examplefont.woff) format('woff'),
       url(/path/to/fonts/examplefont.eot) format('eot');
  font-weight: 400;
  font-style: normal;
  font-display: block;
}
