Nowadays, we come across many websites where the pages are too slow. They take a while to load simple content like thumbnails, texts, and pictures. Most of the time, these pages are slow not because of your internet speed, but because of the technology the websites use for serving content

    Neglects to mention some of the slowness is real-time ad auctions.

        I don’t use the internet with less than a hazmat suit.

        Surprisingly, yes. I’m flabbergasted every time someone says, “I’m tired of these ads. I’m going to download an adblocker. Got any recommendations?”

        Normies do. They vastly outnumber the “barely computer literate”

      Nothing like having a check box suddenly move because an ad finally resolved and I end up clicking on the damn ad instead
