SignalR Connection Blocked Until page images load

Question

this is my signalr hub connection :

  chat = $.connection.chat;
  $.connection.hub.start().done(function () {
     // problem is here 
     // this part is waiting for full page load.!
  });

why signalr connection waits for my page contents to load complete? i have a <img src='BAD SERVER'/>sometimes take 2 minutes to load successfully. and the connection is waiting for images loaded.!

how can i fix this problem ?

Try this:

chat = $.connection.chat;
$.connection.hub.start({ waitForPageLoad: false }).done(function () {
 // problem is here 
 // this part is waiting for full page load.!
});
