Each GMATClub Tab has more than 100% CPU Usage on Chrome

Question

I've noticed that all GMATClub tabs are using around 100% each on Chrome on my Mac. This results in my Mac running really slow and getting really hot all the time. I haven't noticed this problem with any other websites. Don't seem my Mac problem either since it's got an i7 processor and all other apps run fine. I extensively use Chrome since it's got many features that are missing in other browsers such as the ability to load multiple tabs at once and extensions. I've verified that extensions don't seem to be the problem and the CPU usage of other sites comes nothing close to GMATClub.

Not sure if others are experiencing this. It would be great if someone look into this because my mac fans are on all the time because of this issue. Thanks!

Hm.... Thanks for posting. Something is wrong. Would you be Ok to try an incognito Chrome session on GMAT Club or clearing cache?
(My guess this may be caused by ads or possibly an ad blocker)

Thanks for the suggestions  bb

I tried all the following things but none of them fixed the issue:
1) Incognito mode
2) Clear all time cache
3) Disable AdBlock for GMATClub

I feel that ads might be causing this.

Thank you so much for trying. Can I ask for help with it this way:

Please follow these steps:
1. Open Google Chrome
2. Press taster F12 (this will open Developer Tools), click "Network" tab (You can see how it looks on attached file.)
3. Open a forum page that opens slowly
4. Wait for page to fully load
5. Anywhere on the content of the Network tab right click, "Save as HAR with content".
6. Send the file to [email protected] and we'll look into the cause. Thank you!!!

Hello! Any resolve with the issue above? My computer uses an Intel i7 core CPU chip and it crashes my Chrome whenever I have just 5 GMAT club tabs open. I use other browsers with ARC that can handle up to 10 open at a time, but soon crashes after. Any idea why GMAT Club consumes so much CPU?
