HEY!
I have discussed this with a computer guru and apparently I have been
thinking about this all wrong.
Blocking the sites google-analytics and googleadservices makes for a
LONGER wait time!
When you block them, as I have done in the Hosts file, the browser waits
until they time-out! I thought it would completely ignore the attempt
to connect, resulting in the webpage load to be faster - but it's the
exact opposite! It has to wait to see if the tracker will be able to
connect and then when it doesn't, after a few seconds, it goes on to
load the page.
So I am going to UNBLOCK the sites in Hosts!
That ... or get a new computer guru.
Give it a try, Mark. I just did multiple tests where I loaded CNN.
With the two sites listed blocked in hosts the loading time was 11 sectonds.
With the two sites unblocked (a # before each on Hosts), the loading
time was 4-5 seconds.
Problem solved.
