I use uBlock Origin ad blocker and I think they have a version for most browsers.

The site loads nice and fast for me and uBlock says it’s blocking 24 items and says that’s about 18% taken off the size of the page. If I turn off uBlock, the page takes 5-6 seconds to fully load.

I’ve got DSL that is currently running at a download speed of 8.42 Mbps. You can go to http://speedtest.net/ to check your speed.

The site owner(s) are the ones making the decision to load the site up with google ads. Google isn’t maliciously placing them there.

If you’ve got other pages popping up on or popping under wnd, then you most likely have malware. If so, there’s a couple of good, free removal tools.
