I don't know if I trust that. They give GameSpot an 81 vs GameFAQs 68, and FAQs is way faster than Spot.

Holy shit, the thumbnail that appeared on the desktop version was a full-page Mario Odyssey ad.

Thank fuck I don't see those. No wonder it's crapping out on the desktop side.

Ive never had an issue using this site on mobile. Ive heard a few people complain about big ass ads but I guess safari blocks those?

I'd wager that the stuff that slows down Gamespot is delivering actual content, whereas the front page of GameFAQs doesn't really have much important non-text content to deliver. It could likely be streamlined a lot, though a fair chunk of the slow bits are probably dedicated to ads (hence I find the site pretty fast with uBlock and NoScript).

They give it an F cause they dont get much Ad revenue from it on mobile.

Its actually fantastic on mobile.

If you check other popular sites it seems that gamefaqs is about average in this regard

IGN got basically the same score lol.
Mobile - 60/100
Desktop - 68/100

Of course google.com is 100/100 across the board.

Though Gmail.com is 54/100 and 80/100.

I get by fine with just uBlock Plus. Like GameFAQs is so fast I don't even notice load times.

GameFAQs is the fastest website I use. It's OLD and therefore, there's very little Javascript slowing things down.
