Adverlets is one of the Asia’s first blog advertising network that is based in Malaysia. Do you put their ads in your blogs? If you do, you might notice that it takes up quite a lot of time to load up if you are using slow internet connection.
Every time the ads loads up, your browser needs to download some data from the Advertlets’ server. Crynobone asked me to check my site with Firebug Firefox extension to check on the load time. Both of us were surprised of the ads data load amount!
As you can see, in order to load up the ads, you need to download a few javascripts. What surprises us is that there are 3 javascripts – prototype, scriptaculous and effects, need to be downloaded TWICE every time the ads loads up! Strange? That’s not all. Look at the size of those javascripts, the total size of the 3 javascripts are 113KB, which total up to 113KB x 2 = 226KB of data to be downloaded every time the ads loads up!
What are they doing anyway? Showing off their powerful servers?
I seriously think that the programmers from Advertlets should really look into this problem. A 72KB javascript is very heavy and will slow down the load time of a blog. Apart from that, loading TWICE the javascripts will take up quite a lot of time. Since they are targeting advertisements on blogs, I don’t think they want to slow down our blogs right?
I hope this problem will be solved soon, or else Malaysian blogs will be loading slower and slower!
