[serious] Off Topic Moderation Input - Part 2

I use an ad blocker to keep out Google's sharia propaganda

[Kidlicious]

I don't choose the ads directly. Google does, after analysing your soul and search engine history to find out what your weaknesses are and exploit them. I have tried to choose ads directly before and failed miserably each time due to having morals and ethics. So I hire out my exploitation and pretend it's different.

So now you have $40 a month instead of a soul?

[Kidlicious]

Google Ads knows what users wish for

That will be true when they start trying to sell me guns.

The site is still horribly slow for me.

Do you even know what an ad blocker is?

Same here.

[Broken_Erika]

Ditto

[Aeson]

Sometimes it's a bit slow for me, but not sure if that's my connection or not. Sometimes the site is rather quick though.

Considering the experience on a forum where I am mod, this may be the result of the order in which frames are loaded ...
i.e. if the frames containing google ads are in loading order above the other frames, and the google ad is slowly loading,
this may severely slow down the loading of the whoe forums page

You don't even need to be a mod, even. Just look at what's going on in the lower-left corner of the window (in firefox, anyway).

True ... you see what's currently loading (and what takes long to load) (I for my part btw. have no problem with the loading speed most of the time ... I assume because my google ads dn't contain many problematic (slowly loading) ads)
Just mentioned the mod status, because we had interna discussions when our Forum had slowdowns ... and changing the loading order actually helped a lot

[kentonio]

It seems like most of the delay time, its just saying 'Waiting for Apolyton.net' with occasional fast bursts of other stuff I can't read. Average loading time per page is 3-5 seconds, same for actually posting although that seems to be slightly longer sometimes. It just makes for a really sluggish forum experience really.
