What's with TV servers?

[Lacessit]

I'm finding more and more response times on the TV website are painfully slow. I know it's not at my end, because other websites such as my Australian news channels, weather etc. are quite fast.

Is traffic from TV posters clogging up the servers, or is there another explanation?

Look down at the bottom of your browser and see how many ads, extensions, etc. that have to open before your page loads and you will understand why it's so slow. Every click earns TV money and they want to make sure that they get credit for each and every one of them, so all these "referrals" must load so the clicks are counted 

 

So it's not the users that are slowing down the process but greed

Thanks. I guess the advertisers don't realise they are wasting their money - how many TV posters would look at the ads?

are the ads for Viagra, cheapest happy hour bar, short time hotels or Thai dating sites? If not, then yes, a total waste.

If it were TV servers only.

But this is what TV connects to (directly or indirectly, and the list might still be incomplete).

Might take a "moment" to load
