Slow response without index.php

If you're using javascript to open a popup, that is happening client side, not server side. Now, if the popup opened and it took a while to load, that would be an indication of slowness either between the user and the server or at the server. But the process of creating the popup is all happening on the user's computer. If that is the case, it's likely antivirus or something similar interfering.
