Summary Page with Many Tables Takes About 4 Seconds to Display

Created attachment 328591 [details] Webarchive of page with slow performance A webpage with many tables takes about 4 seconds to render on my computer. The latest versions of Firefox and Chrome can both display the page within half a second. The rendering/display process is slow enough that the Web Inspector stops showing process before the page is even displayed. The issue does not seem to be (entirely?) style dependent; removing/excluding the CSS file has similar load times. An example URL of a page that has slow performance is: https://www.fomopop.com/guides/live-tv-streaming/channels (this is also attached as a webarchive). I'm testing on Safari Technology Preview Release 45 (Safari 11.1, WebKit 13605.1.15.2). My machine is a MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2016) running 10.13.1 (17B1003).

The JS in the page is triggering a lot of forced layouts via calls to clientWidth().

(In reply to Simon Fraser (smfr) from comment #3) > The JS in the page is triggering a lot of forced layouts via calls to > clientWidth(). I still get slow performance with JavaScript disabled at the browser-level.
