APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Consider a scenario where a shopper is browsing through a
  category navigation flow (Product listing page), selects facets
  to filter out products and then views a product page before
  hitting the browser 'Back' button.
  At this point, the page loads with an initial set of products
  before an Ajax call is made to display a filtered product list
  based on the facets selected.
  The page load with the initial set of products produces a slight
   performance issue and contributes to a negative shopper
  experience.
