Poor-connettivity-oriented tool is blocking scripts on good connection

Reported by arigh...@gmail.com, Jan 24 2017

Issue description

<b>Chrome Version       : <Copy from: 'about:version'></b>
URLs (if applicable) : https://www.epforums.org/register.php
Other browsers tested:
  Add OK or FAIL, along with the version, after other browsers where you
have tested this issue:
     Safari:
    Firefox:
         IE:

What steps will reproduce the problem?
(1) Loaded the page https://www.epforums.org/register.php on home broadband wifi connection
(2) part of the page was missing (the security check which should be present on the registration form).

What is the expected result?
In the page should be shown a human-check (like a captcha) to complete registration

What happens instead?
The form is hidden and on the console the following error appears:

GET https://api-secure.solvemedia.com/papi/challenge.script?k=7Mrf.7wPdv1T-7t8ys44mf6qb5G4c73. net::ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT

Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if
possible.
I'm on Windows 8.1 64bit using Google Chrome v 55.0.2883.87 m
My Internet connection is a broadband ADSL home connection from italian ISP Telecom Italia. I have AdBlock extension, but it's disabled. i tried to launch the script by copypasting it on the console, but the error below is given:

A Parser-blocking, cross-origin script, https://api-secure.solvemedia.com/papi/_puzzle.js, is invoked via document.write. This may be blocked by the browser if the device has poor network connectivity. See https://www.chromestatus.com/feature/5718547946799104 for more details.

On other tabs i have opened a streaming app, but the video is paused and it's the only other program which uses internet connection in the whole house.

Here is the speedtest i ran on my home connection right before sending this report:

Thanks for the screenshots - very helpful for debugging!

The warning is just a warning, indicating that the given resource may be blocked on slow connections, but wasn't necessarily blocked on your connection.

The load failure is likely caused by some other issue.

I see some ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT messages - those are usually caused by adblockers or other content blocking extensions. Do you have any of these installed?

Can you try disabling any such extensions, or opening the URL in an incognito window, to see if it loads correctly?

Well I actually have an Ad Blocker extension, but (as you can see from the exagonal icon in the screenshots - green and thumb up means "disabled") it was shut down when i tried this.

Today I tried to open the URL in an incognito window (as you suggested) and the page was displayed correctly; but still, when opening it in a normal window (with Ad-Blocker disabled), I got same result as last time.

Ok, maybe i found out what's wrong. Avira Antivirus extension I use to block trackers was preventing the verification image from loading. By adding "Sovlemedia" to the exceptions the problem was solved.

This works even when i turn on my Ad-Blocker extension.

It seems to me the problem is solved now.
