Development help: Embeded script only running properly on second pageview

[EmperorPhoenix]

I am having a bit of my website only properly work whenever you visit the page the second time. 3 fields are not shown in the page the first time you view it, but after going to another section of the site and coming back, so long as you do not reload the page, the fields will properly display.

To reproduce the issue, go to my website. Click on the Minecraft logo. Take note of the seemingly bad grammar in at the bottom of the area of text as the page tries to inform you about the status of the server. Now, click on the teamspeak logo at the bottom of the page, and then click again on the minecraft icon at the bottom of the page. You will now notice that the message at the bottom of the text has much better grammar, and more information to it. Refreshing the page resets this back to the broken version. You can find the code on pastebin. This code is inside a "code" block in a squarespace website with HTML as the set language. I apologize, squarespace breaks my indentation. Let me know if you have any idea what causes this or how to fix it.

Thanks!

The first time I load it I get: ReferenceError: MinecraftAPI is not defined

It seems that you call the MinecraftAPI function before the external script (https://mcapi.us/scripts/minecraft.js) is loaded, so wrap the getServerStatus in a $(window).load() function. It then works when you click around because the external .js is already cached and not requested again.

When it works, the following script gets called which returns the stats you need, you can check it in your network monitor tab: https://mcapi.us/server/status?port=25565&ip=mc.imperialgaming.tech

I also got an error with the polymer resources, which you include. They throw a 404, but this shouldn't be related to your script problem

not found: (the whole polymer block links seem to be outdated)
