I added NSLogs to all of my UIWebView delegate methods and viewDidLoad to track everything, and for some reason I see a 999 error, and multiple "DidFinishLoad" calls. Does anyone know how to optimize this?

Here's my log:

2013-12-25 23:56:54.921 VA[10598:60b] Webview Did Finish Load

Here's how I load my webView in viewDidLoad:

NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:shoeLink];
    NSURLRequest *requestObj = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
    [shoeWebView loadRequest:requestObj];

Is there I way for me to optimize this so that I can get the fastest possible load time? Thanks and happy holidays!

The UIWebView delegate callback methods for shouldStart, didStart, and didFinish are called for each frame of the webpage that is loaded. That is why you see these calls repeated so many times for certain webpages. As you can tell from the logs, something about loading one of those frames fails, but the rest of them load fine, which is why you are still able to see the webpage.

About the second part of your question, there is no real optimization than can be done to make this all happen faster, you have made the request in the correct way.

  • Thank you so much Patrick! That explains it! Do you know if perhaps there's a way to load the webpage without loading any images in it? I know there's a setting in google chrome, which works beautifully, but I'm not sure how to achieve that in ios. – KingPolygon Dec 26 '13 at 08:17
