Slow logout on Chrome on XF.com

[vbresults]

Affected version

xenforo.com

On XF.com, when I log out, it hangs as if it's doing an endless redirect loop, but I think it might actually be related to CloudFlare. This seems to happen in MacOS Safari 18.5 but not Firefox or Chrome.

When CloudFlare happens to be triggered on logout, Firefox and Chrome show the CF verification page/checkbox but Safari just hangs. The logout occurs if I hard-refresh so it seems to be strictly CF-related.

This will actually be related to us re-enabling the Clear-Site-Data: cache header for logouts:

Thank you for reporting this issue, it has now been resolved. We are aiming to include any changes that have been made in a future XF release (2.3.7).

Change log:

Clear site cache data when logging out

There may be a delay before changes are rolled out to the XenForo Community.

We had it briefly a while back but it caused hangs for quite a while:

User name -> Log out = processing.
It really closes, but it doesn't change the screen, which remains processing.
It happens with Chrome 75.0.3770.142 (64 bits).
It works fine with Edge, so it could be related to Chrome.

It's ultimately a Chrome issue, the situation seems to have improved somewhat over the years but it still seems to take quite a while to clear the data.
