  Buddy I hate all that shit. I use uMatrix and block as much as I can while still seeing the real content. In fact that's how I know what the domains are.

    I was joking. I think it wasn't a terribly good joke though, so sorry.

I work for a company that produces a URL filter and in our experience ads and all tracking javascript is 30+% of all URLs. The code in tracking scripts varies between "short and elegant" to "massive and slow code". There is also a piece of json where the tracker thinks it is necessary to call 10 other trackers: See for example http://ib.adnxs.com/async_usersync?cbfn=AN_async_load http://ib.adnxs.com/async_usersync?cbfn=AN_async_load : AN_async_load([ {"url":"http://cm.g.doubleclick.net/pixel?google_nid=appnexus&google_cm&google_sc&uid=xxxx" http://cm.g.doubleclick.net/pixel?google_nid=appnexus&google..., "tagtype":"img"}, {"url":"https://ib.adnxs.com/getuid?https%3A%2F%2Fcm.g.doubleclick.net%2Fpixel%3Fgoogle_nid%3Dappnexus1%26google_sc%26google_hm%3D%24%7BBASE64_UID_ENC%7D%26google_cm" https://ib.adnxs.com/getuid?https%3A%2F%2Fcm.g.doubleclick.n..., "tagtype":"img"}, {"url":"http://c.bing.com/c.gif?anx_uid=xxxx&Red3=MSAN_pd" http://c.bing.com/c.gif?anx_uid=xxxx&Red3=MSAN_pd", "tagtype":"iframe"}, {"url":"http://odr.mookie1.com/t/v2/sync?tagid=V2_4265&src.visitorId=xxxx" http://odr.mookie1.com/t/v2/sync?tagid=V2_4265&src.visitorId..., "tagtype":"img"}, {"url":"http://match.adsrvr.org/track/cmf/generic?ttd_pid=appnexus&ttd_tpi=1&ttd_puid=xxxx" http://match.adsrvr.org/track/cmf/generic?ttd_pid=appnexus&t..., "tagtype":"img"}, {"url":"http://pixel.rubiconproject.com/tap.php?v=4894&nid=1986&put=xxxx" http://pixel.rubiconproject.com/tap.php?v=4894&nid=1986&put=..., "tagtype":"img"}, {"url":"http://sync.mathtag.com/sync/img?mt_exid=13&mt_exuid=xxxx&redir=http%3A%2F%2Fib.adnxs.com%2Fsetuid%3Fentity%3D8%26code%3D%5Buuid%5D" http://sync.mathtag.com/sync/img?mt_exid=13&mt_exuid=xxxx&re..., "tagtype":"img"} , {"url":"http://p.rfihub.com/cm?in=1&pub=345&userid=xxxx" http://p.rfihub.com/cm?in=1&pub=345&userid=xxxx", "tagtype":"img"}, {"url":"http://t.mookie1.com/rsp?dnv=[TIMESTAMP]&rurl=//ib.adnxs.com/mapuid?member=xxxx%26user=[xxxx]" http://t.mookie1.com/rsp?dnv=[TIMESTAMP]&rurl=//ib.adnxs.com..., "tagtype":"img"}, {"url":"http://t.wayfair.com/a/vendor_sync/user?vendor_id=1&uid=xxxx&t=1" http://t.wayfair.com/a/vendor_sync/user?vendor_id=1&uid=xxxx..., "tagtype":"img"} ]); The slowness that we experience is from delays caused by calling scripts that call scripts that call scripts, processing large pieces of javascript and network latencies. edit: and server latencies.
