When I switch browser tabs and return to a page after some time (for example, https://adocasts.com/series/lets-learn-adonisjs-6/lessons/filtering-by-users-watched-status), the page initially appears blank. However, if I wait a moment or click on something, the content immediately reappears as it was. What could be causing this behavior, and how might it be resolved? I intend to use the adocasts source code as a reference for other applications with edgejs, but I'm concerned about this behavior.

Hi cortesbr! I'm not sure I'm fully following. Would you mind providing a little more context, please?
For example, are you experiencing this behavior:
On the actual Adocasts site here at adocasts.com?
On a cloned Adocasts site locally on your machine?
As part of the code from the Let's Learn AdonisJS 6 series in the linked lesson?
Additionally, when you say the page initially appears blank - is this completely blank as in nothing at all shows, or is it just a certain section of the page? If it is just a certain section, which section would that be?
Thanks in advance!!

Hi there! I’m currently using adocasts.com and I’ve actually uploaded a short screen recording here: https://youtu.be/DW7cEBbxwic to show exactly what’s happening. I haven’t tested this in another browser yet—I’m using Microsoft Edge—and I also haven’t tried using an incognito tab or disabling all extensions. This behavior has been happening for quite some time, and I’m seeing it on every page of the site. As of now, it only seems to occur on adocasts.com.

Thanks so much for sharing, cortesbr!! I believe this is either a browser or extension issue. After closely inspecting, I think the page is actually still there & active, the browser just isn't showing it to you for some reason.
You do click several places, but at 0:07 you click somewhere that actually has an anchor link. At 0:10 the site comes back and briefly shows the linked anchor that was clicked at 0:07 is "Allowing Admins to Update Movies and Clear Values". Moments later the page for that clicked lesson loads.
I've been trying for the past half hour or so to replicate this on my Windows machine using Edge, and haven't had any luck. Browsers, Edge included, have a number of battery/resource saving features like putting inactive tabs to sleep. This could be one cause - though I tested several Edge settings and couldn't replicate. Extensions are also common sources of issues.
I'll keep an eye out and try replicating further, but in the meantime I'd recommend giving it a go in a private/incognito window to see if that fixes the issue you're having. If I had to place a wager, I'd guess it's an extension.
