Why does my site keep endlessly refreshing?

Topic summary

Issue: Multiple Shopify store owners are experiencing an endless page refresh loop on their sites.

Root Cause Identified: The problem appears to stem from JavaScript code, specifically related to the Locksmith app.

Solution That Worked:

  • Comment out Locksmith app code
  • Test by commenting out code sections one by one
  • One user resolved it by commenting out Locksmith, then reactivating it

Current Status:

  • Original poster resolved their issue through the Locksmith deactivation/reactivation method
  • At least two other users report experiencing the same problem
  • One affected store (tisjadamen.com) is receiving customer complaints but owners cannot reproduce the issue themselves
  • Some users still seeking clarification on how to “comment out Locksmith”

Alternative Suggested: One commenter recommends switching to Shoplock app as a cost-effective Locksmith alternative, though this doesn’t directly address the refresh issue.

Hi,

has anyone ever encountered this problem?

All of a sudden my site keeps refreshing endlessly and I didn’t add any new app or made any changes.

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Otty ,
Its strange! I don’t think its problem with Shopify, just checked few stores and there isn’t in those.
I suspect that, its happening due to js code, so you need to try commenting one by one
first of all try to comment locksmith app code

Hi Jivan,

thanks for your help!

I don’t know what the problem was but I commented locksmith and activated it again and it works now.

Thanks!

We have the same problem with http://www.tisjadamen.com/

We don’t see it ourselves and what the problem could be, but we hear it now from several customers, anyone that could help?

Thanks in advance

Where do you add the comment “locksmith”?

My website is doing the same thing and I dont understand how you resolved this, where did you “comment locksmith”?

Hello Guys

Why have you yet to try the locksmith alternative, Shoplock Shopify App.

It is cost-effective and serves the same purpose
