people should test their sites to make sure those poopular "social" widgets loaded from some other sites do not block page loads of their own content on their own site!

There seems to ba an alarming trend that some such widgets seem to block page loads (as in the page load stalls ,, and is just stuck there and never loads.. and the user cant see ANY of the sites content)

people using such external javascript widgets on their sites should make sure they test and TEST AGAIN WHILE NOT LOGGED IN TO THE EXTERNAL SITE PROVIDING THE WIDGET..

you might be shocked by what some common "social" widgets get up to with page load blocking ..

would you want it to happen on your site?

probavbly not so you should test it or think about how you can prevent such behaviour (eg by putting them on a separate page wjere they can't block anything but theeir own content! .. or better still .. if they do that kind of thing DON"T USE THEM (because they are obviously not trustworthy!)

if you yse such widgets first thing you sould do is check what happens WHEN YOU ARE NOT NOT LOGGED IN TO THE SOURCE SITE OF THE WIDGET. (the "use not logged in to that external" site seems to be where this happens a lot .. that clould be a sign of some form of bullying to force users into being tracked)

of course a smart user can always turn of javascript to see the content (assuming the site works withoyut javascript- if it doesn't then its a double #FAIL and all you can do is complain and try to educate them!)

you might be in for a shock!
