SPO site makes a call to browser.pipe.aria.microsoft.com
- Aug 31, 2019ASync requests are non-blocking, meaning they won't prevent the site from loading even if the request is delayed.
Carlos_Marins , thank you for reply!
It is a good idea for one particular machine, for mine, for example. And I'll try it.
But I won't be able to install the blocker on all the machines behind satellites.
Initially I wondered whether it is possible for the SPO site itself to stop making such requests. By disabling some feature in a menu, for example.
We are using SharePoint as SaaS from MS, which means functionality altering abilities are rather poor.
Hey akhlebnikov ,
I understand it may be hard to block it on all machines. Are these machines running on a local network? If they're behing a firewall, assuming youo are the admin, you could block these requests there, so you wouldn't need to worry about the machines.

I work in such a big company (and I'm not an admin), that it is impossible to do such global blocks, in terms of bureaucracy 🙂
Still, I will definitely try uBlock, it seem to be a good workaround, at least temporal.
Thank you again!

akhlebnikov You aren't going to see a significant improvement in speed by blocking these requests as they are asynchronous and very light. These requests are used so MSFT can keep metrics of events that are happening in the service, to help improve it.
If you have a slow down in your environment, I would look else where (TTFB, other web parts,etc..)- akhlebnikovAug 31, 2019Copper Contributor
Beau Cameron My guess is that even though these requests are light-weighted, still, due to low traffic priority they don't get processed at all and hence site not loading.
I will try to block these requests before they are initiated, it seems to make some sense.
