Between analytics tools and marketing? You are right by name nothing, however in general if you look in the network tab some on content sites (especially crappy slow ones) you will see ads and other pixels being loaded onto the site as time goes on. Leave certain sites for an hour and they will make hundreds of extra requests.

Oh, by marketing you mean ads and things like that? I thought you meant optimization tools like A/B testing and similar services.

A/B testing tools slow down sites a lot but yeah I was referring to remarketing pixels or publisher side pixels
