SlickDeals is fat and sluggish

hahaha Title for attention, but...

The past 4-6 months, when I use SD from my desktop (Chrome), the website loads up fine, then hangs. Frozen for 6-9 seconds before I can click anything or do anything. I assume this is while ads are loading? It looks fully loaded. I can see the ads and all the deals, but everything is just frozen and you can't click on anything. This issue DOES continue to happen when I enter the discussion boards, but not nearly as often/bad.

I have cable internet 1TB speed and ZERO issues on any other website. I waited so long to post about it so I could be sure it was only SD's website I was seeing this issue with.

It's pretty frustrating, honestly. I've opened SD out of habit, then closed it out of frustration and moved on with my day.

I block ads and the site has been getting slow at times so I don't think it's the ads. I belong to a forum that became almost unusable. They said it was thousands of AI bots slowing down the site. I guess they blocked most of the bots and things went back to normal.
