A comment on Jesse Willms, the Dark Lord of the Internet.

Off topic rant: why in the world does that site take nearly half a minute to load completely and why does it keep jumping around to different sections (eventually leaving me at the bottom of the screen) during that absurd load?

I'm still not sure about the jumping but the load time might be the result of:

  370 requests  ❘  4.0 MB transferred  ❘  45.30 s (load: 41.60 s, DOMContentLoaded: 19.41 s)
Edit: typo and more data

Obligatory NoScript and RequestPolicy plugs: That page loaded in just over a second for me and looked fine.

Ghostery counts 19 or 20 trackers depending on what you want included. It's getting out of control!

I block everything and I get 25 blocked when visiting The Atlantic. Probably the worst site I've seen yet.

Results of Pingdom's "Website Speed Test" on the URL:

http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/2YiTc/http://www.theatlantic.co...

1.1 MB of that is JavaScript! And while it reports 3.69s load time, the waterfall shows that it actually took much longer than that. For example, a 497 byte resource on realtime.services.disqus.com (heh, "realtime") took just over 10 seconds!

I'm glad I use Ghostery.
