What influences the time an iframe is requested from browser - performance

Can someone explain what influences the order of requests before an iframe is loaded?
My observation on one of our websites (springerprofessional.de) seems to suggest that some script files are loaded first before the iframe is requested even though they come after the tag in the html.
"login?service=" is the iframe content in the picture below.

What are full page reloads and Why did we need to do full page reloads without ajax?

I was reading up on ajax and how it empowers us to exchange data with a server behind the scenes and consequently avoid full page reloads. My confusion lies here, I don't really understand what full-page reloads mean. I think it's probably cause I've been working with ajax/react since the start I guess and have not really seen any webpage of mine fully reload when I access stuff from a database or an api.
It'd be great if someone could explain what they are and why did we need them before ajax?
A full page load is where the entire page is downloaded from the server. A page typically consists of several sections: header, footer, navigation, and content. In a classic web application without AJAX, a user clicks on a link to another page, and has to download the full page, even though only the main content is changing. The header, footer, and navigation all get downloaded again even though they don't change.
With AJAX there is the opportunity to only change the parts of the page that will change. When a user clicks on the link, JavaScript loads just the content for that link and inserts it into the current page. The header, footer, and navigation don't need to reload.
This introduces other problems that need attention.
When AJAX inserts new content into the page, the URL doesn't change. That makes it difficult for users to bookmark or link to specific content. Well written AJAX applications use history.pushState() to update the URL when loading content via AJAX.
There are then two paths to get to every piece of content. Users can either load the URL containing that content directly, or load the content into some other page by following a link. Web developers need to test and ensure both work.
Search engines have trouble crawling AJAX powered sites. For best compatibility, you need to employ server side rendering (SSR) or pre-rendering to serve initial content on a page load that doesn't require JavaScript.
Even for Googlebot (which executes JavaScript) care must be taken to make an AJAX powered site crawlable. Googlebot doesn't simulate user actions like clicking, scrolling, hovering, or moving the mouse.
Content needs to appear on page load without any user interaction
You must use <a href=...> links for navigation so that Googlebot can find other pages by scanning the document object model (DOM). For users, JavaScript can intercept clicks on those links and prevent a full page load by using return false from the onclick handler or event.preventDefault() in the click handler.

"Fetch as Google" renders all pages to look like my homepage

I am trying to figure out why my website's posts and pages such as my resume are getting a "Complete" status with a green check mark (seemingly no errors or redirects) when fetching and rendering as google, but all of them "render" and look like my homepage. The page speed insights tool seems to be using the same rendering engine as it seems to have the same issue.
Notes:
The html served from my website on initial page load is the correct HTML and content. No redirects occur. The initial page load does not fetch content via JS. I mention this because although my website is not a one page application (I'm using Wordpress), I do use ajax in combination with a post variable flag to fetch new page content when the user navigates to the next page (after the initial page load).
I have verified that all of my pages have been indexed using the "site:" trick in Google search. They are indexed properly, but they aren't "rendering" properly.
Should I be worried? Should I just ignore that the pages aren't rendering properly? It doesn't make any sense. Is anyone else having this issue?
Your resume page has a response type of content-type image/gif so google thinks that the page is an image??

How do I find out what makes a browser keep loading?

I am using Opera and sometimes a page keeps on loading even though all content has already been presented. How do I find out which elements are to be loaded or what causes the ongoing loading process?
Even though all content seems to be 'presented', the page may still be loading images, JavaScript, CSS, or other resources referenced by it. This process performed by the browser isn't refereed to as "AJAX" as you have tagged in your question. AJAX is the asynchronous invocation of JavaScript to retrieve or submit data without requiring page refreshes.
As for examining which resources are causing your page to appear to be still "loading"...
I use Firebug's network tab to look at pending requests for resources in Firefox. It shows every resource your browser requests, how long it takes to retrieve, and the entire request & response headers and body.
Google chrome has something similar built-in, just hit F12 to bring up the "Developer Tools"
I would assume Opera has something similar although I am not sure of it's name.

Links in pages won't load using Ajax

I am using a script for Ajax from Dynamic Drive on my site to load content into my div. It has worked great for me until I created a page where I want links. For some reason I am finding that if I create a page with a single link, the page will not load. I can click on it all I want and the page still will not load. If I have a page that is just purely text content, it loads. Is this a flaw with Ajax, or am I not doing something right? My intention with my site is to have a "Store" section so I can use Amazon Affiliates. I can't even get my page to load even if I have a simple link say pointing to Amazon.com. Unfortunately this Ajax script has been the only successful way I've been able to get my content to load into my main div. For some odd reason links in the links section on my site will appear and that page will load, but not for my "store" page.
My site is: http://veterinarycare.atspace.cc
I'm not asking for a direct code, but just a step in the right direction.
'store.html' gives a 404 Not found... Does this file exist? That is probably your problem... Your links.html page for example has a link to ASPCA and that works fine.
You may also want to look into jQuery, as this is a bit neater for doing ajax and other javascript effects. You could probably get all that javascript mumbo jumbo down to 5 lines or so...
Also remember that your site isn't going to be particularly google friendly with all the content being loaded in via javascript.

Loading Ajax Response Data with Adsense Codes inside

I'm 10000000% sure that this question has been asked before, however, the majority of the responses that I came across were from back in 2005, 2006 and so on. Not to mention, almost all of the questions themselves were too general. Therefore, I'm asking this so that for anyone else needs to find this out, then they won't need to dig through about 50 webpages to get an idea.
My question is simply that I have a webpage that has Google Ads embedded into the HTML of the website. The website was first developed as a static HTML site where each link reloaded a new page. Nevermind the backend technology of the website - the website itself produces purely dynamic content. The website is close to completion and now a fully-ajax listener has been added to all the links. When any of the links are clicked, JavaScript takes over, parses the link and sets that using popstate or the hashbang. The page itself is then queried to the server via AJAX and the content is updated using document.getElementByID('container').innerHTML=ajax.responseText; This way, there is almost a 100% method of accessing content that was replaced by AJAX.
This all works fine, but the responseText itself may, WILL contain Google Ads, and I was just wondering how to display them as if it were a static page. Clearly this doesn't work. Here are the options that I've come across:
Use an IFrame:
An IFrame seems to be an effective way to load the content; just stick the adsense codes a simple adsense.html iframe file and let the browser and
directly into page, it isn't possible
it's against their TOS
there is document.write() omitted in ajax request
Your chance is:
Create simple iframe
<iframe src="advert.html"></iframe>
and in advert.html, add your advert code
It's then loaded fine without problems.
Good luck
