KTVZ

The site's gotten worse.

  1. the top blue bar is huge completely wasted space, just logo and a pair of weather widgets.

  2. There's a TON of ad and tracking scripts, from the typical analytics ones to sketchy js ad and track scripts like these: http://www.ktvz.com/html/js/endplay/ads/ad-core.js http://a.postrelease.com/serve/load.js http://api.circularhub.com/2604/102149c4a9f72497/circularhub_module.js http://cdn.bannersnack.com/iframe/rotator.html

  3. Site loads hella slow, and abysmally fails modern compliance/speed tests: https://tools.pingdom.com/#!/chrbl5/ktvz.com with numerous issues including lack of caching, slow css, external js references, etc.

  4. This includes a GIGANTIC 600+kb assets like http://static.lakana.com/npg-ktvz-media-us-east-1/photo/2016/08/22/KTVZ%20Logo_3395629_ver1.0.png which tries loading into every page. This is just bad webdev and a lack of QA i think. The site loads terrible on mobile, broken responsive elements, etc.

  5. generally I find it hard to find latest and local news.
