How to check if a web page loads?

My air app loads web pages significantly slower if the page URL includes an anchor (#name) link - anyone know why and how to counteract this?

• So for example if I was displaying http://www.example.com/somewhere.html it loads fast but if I display http://www.example.com/somewhere.html@#lowerdown then it might take upwards of 30-45 seconds for the content to appear.

• Answer:

  I'm thinking it doesn't parse/index the .html when there's no trailing slash following .html - can you form it with the ? # just before? In basic permalink structures you cannot, (from what I understand) use any special characters other than what's reserved, the /slash and the -hyphen in the url structure. Are you able to force using these as part of a url? I'm going to do a little testing on this. Most Interesting!
