移动Safari iOS 9.3发出多个HTTP请求，最终显示错误

Question

A website which used to work does no longer after the iOS 9.3 update. We get the following error in mobile Safari:

A problem occurred with this webpage so it was reloaded

and

A problem repeatedly occured on " http://domain.ch/en/search/rent/f/ "

At first we thought there was an endless redirect going on. But that is not the case.

• The site works in all other browsers, it works with iOS 9.2 (no changes to the code were made)
• iOS Safari sends multiple requests, even though the first one was already successfully returned (HTTP Status 200)

This is the access log:

I currently don't know what the cause of this could be.

I'm posting this in the hope that anybody else has encountered something similar since the iOS 9.3 update and has some insight into this strange behaviour.

Answer 1

After some debugging we found out it works if we remove the CSS.

The problem was a web-font. More specifically it was the WOFF variant of the webfont. It lead to the crash in Safari. After we exchanged it, everything is back to normal.

I guess in iOS 9.2 Safari used a different font-format (probably truetype) and since iOS 9.3 WOFF is used. That is why the problem did not surface before.

Answer 2

I was having the problem. I removed a webfont I was using in the Easy Google Fonts plugin and it fixed. I was using Julius Sans One.
