    http://asset.pagefair.net/ and .com JS links are failing, which is blocking complete loading of the pages for 20 seconds or more, causing incredibly irritating jumps when trying to read threads. Couple of points:
    • Surely external resources like this, adroll, skimlinks, doubleclick etc. etc. should be loaded asynchronously, and not blocking page load?
    • One of the principal reasons for subscribing (at least for me, and I imagine quite a lot of others) is speed of page load without ads taking up resources. Shouldn't these be disabled for subscribers?
    • PageFair is apparently an adblocker detector. But because it's blocking page loads, I'm having to turn on an adblocker on boards, which I don't normally do, until it's fixed. Irony?

    Oh excellent. Blacklisting that domain has improved performance one hundred fold. *hat tip*

    EDIT: NVM, crawling again.
