There is a webcast with Cars.com and Keynote which discusses the impact of third party content on website performance and how you can identify which 3rd party content is slowing down your site.

You can access it via this link:

Is there a group or forum set up for this topic somewhere? I’ve had problems with analytics, affiliate tracking scripts, tracking pixels/beacons and would like to discuss possible solutions:

GoggleAnalytics (not that bad)
Omniture
CommissionJunction
YieldManager (big problem)

Another kind of 3rd part components that have big impact on performance are social widgets. I’m doing some tests about it, you can find my first results here: http://ir.pe/2sgu.

I’ve just been looking at a site that uses DART(doubleclick). The three calls to doubleclick block the site for ~1s.

Some googling didn’t turn up any tips on improving this. Do you know where I can find some info?

Hai, this is great article. All website owners need to think about various 3rd party content like widgets and ads. Website often burdened with many ads and widgets which slowing website loading time. But depend from our main purpose of making website, if you focus to the good performance, you should think to reduce 3rd party content, but if only to built experiences, relationships, or having fun, 3rd party help a lot. thats my guess..

I love the chart you included and would really like to see the other two blog ad options AdvertiseSpace.com and BlogAds.com compare to BuySellAds.com. Any chance you would update that and let us know?

Is that math question supposed to be a trick? As a human how do I know if won = one or not and good luck to the non-native English speakers figuring that one out? I don’t even know. I’m going to have to guess.

Have you tried this with the new Facebook Like? I imagine it’s not as light as the Facebook Sharer, and would be timely.
