Re: Webpage "get" slow with WWW::Mechanize

I'm guessing it's hanging on something, and only completing after timing out, but I have no idea what that could be, or how to fix it--if it's fixable--from my end.

Sounds highly plausible. Have you tried reducing the timeout in your WWW::Mechanize object?

Honestly, I'm not sure how. There's nothing obvious (to me) in the documentation to adjust it. However, I'm pretty infamous for overlooking really obvious things :/	[reply]

The page linked in my previous post says: WWW::Mechanize is a proper subclass of LWP::UserAgent and you can also use any of LWP::UserAgent's methods. So, you can use LWP::UserAgent's timeout method. eg: `my $ua = WWW::Mechanize->new; $ua->timeout (5);` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
