Not even 100 trackers? Too easy.

[Ringthane]

Maybe this thread belongs in the Feedback forum? Or some part of the forum where the OP actually feels the urge to give some context to their post.

[Deleted]

Feedback forum? But I am very sure nothing can be done about that.

Getting as bad as Wowhead. lol.

I get 135 on the front page, which is why this place is totally ad blocked from every side.

Main Wowhead page : 14 ... around 10% of what main MMO-C page has.

More in terms of performance. Wowhead has been complete and total garbage since Legion launched, several threads on the WoW subreddit about it and many excuses from the wowhead staff.

Because I block everything on both sites due to extensive invasive and infected advertising - I don't see any performance issues.

Here is a list of domains MMO-C front page links to:

2mdn.net
adtechus.com
ajax.googleapis.com
akamaized.net
criteo.net

yeah . reduce that to 0 and i will disable adblock
i dunno: jquery.com but this might be false positive

[Shadow Fox]

Yeah, I've gotten a shitton blocked from just the front page...






And then there is this mess: 425 things / requests blocked from the front page.

Pastebin Link for the logger.

I have a simple requirement - if I can use the site with advertising - I will use it with advertising.

For me that means - no active, video, audio or animated advertising, no oddball tracking (can live with google, curse, twitter etc) and advertising under 20% of the space on my browser.

How do you test these ? I do run Adblocked but am little bit noobish to stats OP showed.

Get rid of adblock or adblock pro - install uBlock Origin Once you do that, then click on the icon for it in the top right hand corner (in Chrome) to see all the details.

inb4 a certain individual says "These do not exist on our site because Curse Pro blocks them."
=\

Pretty sure that is how the last thread of this got stopped.

It's even worse on a phone. I keep getting a sound notification I can't get rid of whenever the halo add loads

[DarkAmbient]

143 on front page for me. lol...

[TriHard]

Easy to avoid that shit though.

Try again Mmo Champ

Ez ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I really hate running a ad-block in terms of denying a site a chance to get advertisements in, but I just started having some many oddities on this site that I finally broke down and loaded them up. I was surprised at how much better, cleaner and more responsive the site became. I had performance so bad, that at one point I could type in a response to a post and there was a 5-10 sec delay. Once I loaded ad-block\Ublock all of it went away.

I don't think one can keep the wowhead page open for more than 5-10 mins until it crashes without a blocker, which is really sad.

[Lochton]

Tsk tsk to you for not posting in the right section?

Mhm, MMO Champion is sadly the site that pushed me to start using an ad blocker as well. It's a pretty good example of why people do this. I wish more sites would look into alternate methods of monetisation rather than pouring gas on the fire.
