dcum consumes lots of memory

[Anonymous]

For some reason after a number of page loads I start to get a beachball. I go to the activity monitor and I can see that the process handling the DCUM tab is consuming gigabytes of memory. I kill the process, and everything is fine. But several pages in, the same thing happens. I feel like it is something with the ad serving.

Any ideas?

I get the beachball sometimes using the site, but not on a regular basis as you describe. I suggest going into the Safari preferences, going to the Security tab, then Plug-in Settings and blocking the Adobe Flash plugin for www.dcurbanmom.com. I suspect that Flash is the problem here.

I started having the same problem just a few days ago. I can read DCUM on my phone just fine but my Mac can barely even load after a couple of clicks. Will try what you posted above.

Thanks. I had already blocked Flash, but I blocked some other plugins just to see if that helped. I will report back if I find anything interesting.

How do you do this in Chrome?

I have been playing around with this for some time. Each time I load a page on the site, the memory consumption for the dcurbanmom.com process goes up. It is acting like a program with a memory leak. But I cannot replicate it on any other site.

I have never had the issue in the OP's post.

OP here. I am on OS X El Capitan using Safari 9.0.3 for reference.

I just opened the web inspector for this page load and I can see 197 blocked frame errors. An example is listed below. Also when I look at the resources, there is an about:blank resource that looks like it has nested within it other about:blank resources that go on and on as far as I drill down. This suggests there may be some sort of error in the code that places the ads in their frames.

I thought it was just me. My work doesn't allow Adobe Flash so anytime an ad that uses flash comes on, my DCUM crashes. But maybe it's not flash then?

OP here I turned off flash for drum but it did not help.
