By far the worst site I regularly use, from a page loading perspective, is my local newspaper.
It takes about 10 seconds before it loads to a usable state on a T1 connection.
If I pop open an inspector, requests go on for about 30 seconds before they die down. It's about 8MB.

- ovulator 10y agoMy local paper is the same way, ublock origin blocks 50% of the requests coming from the site. Builtwith.com shows 48 advertising libraries being used on the site. The newspaper has a staff of less than 50, who even has time to look through and use all that advertising data? The site is unusable.
- cpobrien 10y agoWhen I opened that page and emptied my cache, I got a lot more than 8MB... http://imgur.com/a/qt0Zd http://imgur.com/a/qt0Zd (59.9MB) I don't think JavaScript is really to blame for this though, the problem here is they're dumping a whole bunch of full sized images when they could have used thumbnails.
- hvidgaard 10y agoIf you wait 10 seconds to get the news you are more patient than me. I would quickly go elsewhere unless they deliver high quality news.
