"Understand the trade-offs being made and the factors that led to them." As a user of Facebook, this quote explains a lot. I run a Facebook page with 90k+ likes, and have grown to expect it to simply not load completely without refreshing it multiple times. I've long suspected we were the victim of some type of 'trade-off.' It appears my suspicion were correct. We also spend five to seven thousand dollars a month on advertising. I wonder how much more effective our campaigns would be if our page loaded 100% every time.

>It appears my suspicion were correct. The text in your post doesn't support this conclusion (which tradeoffs are causing the behavior?). Just because something isn't working right doesn't necessarily mean it is because of tradeoffs; it could just be a bug (Edit: that they aren't aware of). Also, it seems strange that you are experiencing that problem since many pages have more likes (for example Barack Obama's page has over 35 million likes) and yet load quickly; perhaps the problem is unrelated to the number of likes? Edit: Of course if it is a bug and Facebook is aware of it but hasn't fixed it yet then the reason for not fixing it yet may be due to tradeoffs.

  I have experienced the same problem. It happens randomly to random pages and not all of them are high profile pages. I would chalk it up to it being a bug.

    Who is your ISP? What type of connection (DSL/cable/fiber/radio)? I have a flaky* DSL connection of 2.6Mbps and I notice the AJAX calls to facebook crap out. * During wind or rain, cuts out for a minute about 4 to 6 times per hour.

      I am in SE Asia, its a WiMax connection. The rest of the internet works as it supposed to. The problem I am referring to (not loading completely and sometimes loading completely but not showing all the entries of a page) doesn't happen all the time, but happens often enough to notice.

        I have the same experience in the US. Seems like it might be a problem with the admin panel on a page (since other pages don't seem to have the issue).

  I think JacobJans was attempting to be angry/sarcastic.
