Take the tour ×  I have a site with a live scoring page that
updates via ajax while games are going on. It was working fine
when the site was running on http.  We installed an ssl an its
either self signed or misconfigured, but now the live scoring
page ajax requests are running super slow and freezing users
screens.  I actually had to switch my curl requests on my crons
to curl -k after the ssl was installed so I'm wondering if the
ssl itself could be causing the ajax requests to run sooo slow.
I realize https is slower than http but should it really be this
noticeable?  share|improve this question No, but it'll probably
prevent them entirely on some browsers due to security settings.
