autospies.com loads slow

[Ron Scubadiver]

The page autospies.com loads slowly when abp is enabled in Safari. This does not seem to be the case in other browsers. I tried the social media filter set and the page loaded fast, but those filters conflict with worpress.com sites using custom domains, so they are not usable for me. This filter I made helps some:

||facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http://www.autospies.com/news/*

The page hangs a bit, but not as long or as many times.

The reason this website is slow is that there are 161 resources (mostly share buttons, not counting elements inside frames) on that page. The way request blocking works on Safari, rendering and execution of the page is stopped every time one of those elements is encountered until Adblock Plus figured out whether to block it or not. On Chrome this is done in a background thread. But on Safari this slows things down more easily, and there is nothing we can do about it.

Thank you for answering. I guess there isn't much I can do beyond that one rule I came up with. I was hoping there was some way to block G+ as it appears many times, but I could not develop a rule. Unfortunately, this site is an example of excessive and intrusive advertising.

for g+ try adding this filter

Code: Select all

||apis.google.com/js/plusone.js$domain=autospies.com

Thank you for the G+ filter, it works like a charm. I changed my facebook filter to look more like the G+ filter, and now understand how these could be used if the problem cropps up elsewhere.
