CI + adwords == double-loaded page?
#1

I've been fighting my application for the last couple of days trying to figure out why my sign up page was being loaded twice and causing two sign up emails to be sent to new users.

This only happened on my live site.

After much thrashing and googling I finally downloaded my logs and went looking for missing resources.  After fixing those I still had the problem where the page was loading twice.

Another look in the logs showed me:

Google was fetching my page and triggering my email logic.

Disabling ads on these pages "fixed" the problem for now.  I never saw this in local testing because I ordinarily run with ads off with my test server.

Anyone else seen this kind of behavior before?

I had a similar problem and eventually discovered a missing file. Problem triggered a http error causing the page to load twice. Missing file was incorrect path to favicon.ico.

Yeah, I found loads of references regarding that but that turned out not to be the problem in this case.

I *did* have some missing assets (favicon not being one of them) but after fixing those the problem persisted.

It was only after removing the ads (and thus the gets from 66.249.89.6) that the problem went away.
