Anybody check out foodnetwork.com lately?

Looks like foodnetwork.com has become victim of site tracking services.
The indirects cause several seconds of lockup between navigating pages
over there. Seems like the site has been outsourced to a third party
company. It even appears that actual content is being served up by the
third party company. The page hangs on adsremote.scripps.com... when it
finally connects, the rest(actual content) of the page is served up.

What once was a great site has become a victim of clueless(and useless)
computer geeks. I wonder what the sales pitch was... Hello foodnetwork!
Have we got a deal for you! It will slow your site dowm to the point
where people will cease to use it!

Foodnetwork's site stinks as much as the clueless one-bath-a-month
computer geeks who it was outsourced to.

Shameful.

It's a total shame that I have to resort to that. Where I work, people
who do workmanship 1/100th as bad as what has been done to
foodnetwork's site, get immediately fired.

It seems like someone over there should be able to realize this and
have it fixed. I timed the lockup. From when I click on a link returned
by the site's search, until the page is displayed, the lag is 10+
seconds. I'm very curious as to what the site designers told
foodnetwork so as to lead them to believe that something is not wrong.

That was one of my favorite sites. I lack the patience to put up with
10+ seconds of waiting everytime I click on a new link. That's
absolutely ridiculous.

I have no problem with it coming up in 3 seconds. When I browse from one
site to another on the foodnetwork, it all comes up at around 3 seconds, not
over.

I don't have fast, fast, fast DSL, but I do have DSL. But 3 seconds is good
enough for me -- at this time.

Dunno... I'm not seeing it. Performance is acceptable from here. I'm on
a ~6Mb cable connection tonight. Running on an old Mac G4 tower with
cookies disabled.

But I'm not too fond of the ipix, windows media, flash, java mix that
they have in there. A little too multi-media for my taste.

I use Firefox, and just set it to block http:\\adsremote.*. No
delays at all.

Anybody check out foodnetwork.com lately?

The original site was great, and very easy to archive into your own
mini-website with basic HTML knowledge, which I did for 3 years or so.
The next rennovation made the process very difficult. This newest
evil incarnation is a freak from hell, and unusable without great
patience even with broadband.

The Doc says my brain waves closely match those of a crazed ferret.
At least now I have an excuse.
