Official Cardinal Site ("Too Much Success...")

[JeffGollin]

Maybe it's just because my PC is acting funky in the aftermath of a power outtage, but has anyone else noticed the plethora of pop-up ads and other obstacles that slow down navigating around the official Cardinal website?

Omo -After trying to navigate between Story #1 and Story #2, I got tired of watching the hour glass and came over here instead.

I realize ads are a necessary evil (gotta pay the freight), but sometimes an embarrassment of riches can clutter a site and slow it down unbearably. A balance must be struck.

Jeff, I don't think it's the adds rather the site itself. It takes forever for their website to load, so much so I open it up, minimize it and get back to it later so I can view the darn thing. TOO much needing to be downloaded for my taste (FWIW I have pretty darn fast internet service too).

Isn't this the Official Cardinal site?

I'm not seeing the issues...I do have popups disabled, but the site comes up in a second or two...same for navigating between stories...

That's it. Ever since they updated the site prior to the start of the season it has been very slow loading. It's a case of trying to do too much; like putting 10 pounds of crap into a 5 pound bag - its bound to be messy!

 

[Gee!]

I have no issues with it..

the way I always tell that a page is poorly designed and hard to open is on my blackberry. the official site takes forever to load on it, and freezes it up on occasion for a few seconds. its pretty bad.

I find it extremely fast and haven't had an issue with it since it first got redone. I have pop-ups blocked and all of my computers are Macs so maybe that has something to do with it??

I don't have any problems with it.

 

[blindseyed]

No problems here either, no pop-ups and loads extremely fast

 

[moklerman]

No problems for me either.

Its a poor carpenter that blames the hammer

It's OK nowadays not as slow when they first launched it
but from time to time, I find some broken links

works fine on my laptop and my blackberry, and I have a storm.
