Last night I started to notice the site running quite slow. After some investigation I figured out the issue was in the adsense video player I added a few days back. The player itself was taking up to a minute to load. After removing the player from the site the page load times for me were back under a second.
One of the things I’ve always hated about ads is how slow they can be. If you go to a site full of ads and they are fast then its not all that bad. However when the ads are adding five plus seconds to each page load it is just painful. This is one of the reasons I block 95% of the ads out there, well that and those annoying flashings ads are dreadful.
