That page of text with ads took about 10 seconds to load and render on a 50-megabit internet connection with a 3.4 ghz i7 CPU and 16 gb memory. Let's start laughing at Fortune's web development team instead.
- azinman2 12y agoWas about 2 seconds on my iPhone and my home cable internet.
- Killswitch 12y agoAlso pretty quick on my crappy Comcast connection.
- acchow 12y agoTry again after clearing cookies and cache. Really slow.
- elyrly 12y ago10+ javascript files loading. Nice to know i'm being tracked left right up and down.
- pconner 12y agoUse Ghostery (or NoScript if you want the nuclear option)
- r00fus 12y agoIt's possible you're on a heavily traffic-shaped connection - I've noticed similar at my workplace and to be honest I prefer it that way.
- bduerst 12y agoIt's tough to tell. Their LP has a bunch of external dependencies and js scripts to load, but this is on par with most other content-providers.
- rnhmjoj 12y agoOn my computer the page didn't load at all. There is just a top fixed bar and everything else is blank.
- blt 12y agoKeep waiting.
- mscrivo 12y agoI have similar specs and connection. Using uBlock (which blocked a full 25% (32 requests) of the page's "content") it loaded in 3 seconds flat and looks far better than the ad-ridden version. Sad, that this is what it has come to.
