As soon as I can tell it’s one of these data-hungry “NEWS” websites I just close it. I have really a good connection too. Don’t they realize they’re losing views by being such shitty websites?
In: Technology
Press F12 to open up the developer tools, and click on the “Network” tab. Then load into a news site. You’ll notice dozens upon dozens of things being loaded, mostly analytics stuff, ad stuff, tracking stuff, etc. Many of these will do network calls on their own after they’re loaded, too. All in all, it you’ve probably loaded many MBs of JavaScript scripts, all doing things.
If you disable JS and reload, you’ll see the page load instantly.
EDIT: I was curious and turned off adblocker and went to CNN.com. After 2 mins of not doing anything, it had made over 1200 requests https://i.imgur.com/PBj56UB.png
