I've turned off my adblocker so I can now see the ads. The problem in doing this is the site is now extremely slow. I'm currently using the latest version of Firefox and am on a Fios 100mb connection. This is the only site I have this problem on and it's only since I turned off the adblocker. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Cary,
What kind of download speeds are you working with on this ISP?

The ads on Armorama's side might be a bit more the first time you load up a page but then they are cached so visiting other pages shouldn't slow you up. Unless of course you had your browser set to not cache pages/images which would of course make every page you visit re-download everything again and again.

Thanks,
Jim

You're correct, it did get faster. Thanks.
