Working on It.....Newly created SharePoint 2013 sites

Recently I have seen issues while accessing newly created SharePoint 2013 site collections that when we access the site the request gets processed by IIS but still on the browser it shows the great message:

 Working on it....

 After looking at it for some time, found that if we try to access the Site settings page "/_layouts/15/settings.aspx" it renders fine.

 But if we try to access any of the Page, Document Library or any List it gets stuck on the Working on it message.

 Observed the same behavior on SharePoint server and the client machines.

  After investigating further found the solution to this issue

 Steps for Resolution:
  • Deactivate the new site feature which is introduced in SharePoint 2013 called "Minimal Download Stratergy" 
  • Sign out from the site, close all the browser windows.
  • Open a new browser windows and browse to the SharePoint site and you will see the site now comes up fine.
  • Once the site comes up fine, then you can activate the feature and now it will continue to work just fine without any issues.
