Why does this “Slow network detected…” log appear in Chrome?

Question

I noticed this info log began to appear in Google Chrome Dev (Version 55.0.2883.18 dev) and I can\'t imagine why.

Slow network is detecte

Answer 1

I faced same issue for chrome build 61.0.3163.100 on MacOs Sierra with localhost as server. Chrome started logging this message when I changed network speed configuration to 3G fast/ 3G slow and again back to Online.

Fix: When I tried selecting Offline mode and again Online mode, the logging issue disappeared. (This fix may no work on some devices or versions)

Update on 30th Jan 2018

I updated google chrome to Version 64.0.3282.119 (Official Build) (64-bit), it seems this bug is fixed now.
