Straighterline, why does thy website suck so...

[cookderosa]

I'm crazy and I just renewed my membership for the 5th or 6th time, haha... there's an issue with my membership, it won't register I renewed.
I'm stuck in a limbo and just emailed the Straighterline help desk. Anyways, the issue is because Straighterline has so many "add-ons".
It's sending too much data back and forth with other third party websites, you need to have something installed and blocking that ASAP.
It actually isn't ProctorU, it's the Straighterline webpage itself. If you're on chrome, download the extension Script Safe and do the following.

In the extension setup, have exceptions added and only allowing googleapis.com, amazonaws.com, gstatic.com, and cloudfront.net
This will block everything and cause issues with your other sites, such as gmail/yahoo/hotmail or other webpages as well.
So, what I do is, I enable it before I log into Straighterline, and I disable it afterwards so nothing else is affected after I use SL.
You just go into Settings and Extensions, check or uncheck enabled and you're done! Each and every time I use SL, I do this.

Note: If you will be testing with Proctor U, I disable it during the Proctor and re-enable it after I'm done so I continue working in SL

Help. I have AdBlock Plus always running, do you think it's why it takes me 4-5 minutes for each screen to load? Also, everything you guys just geeked out about is a foreign language to me. Bottom line, is it something I can easily fix or should I just be patient? (LOL I'm not very good at being patient)
