   Here's the list of domains this page is trying to pull content from, all for displaying a lousy article:

      truegrittexturesupply.com
      www.truegrittexturesupply.com
      affiliatly.com
      amplifiedcdn.com
      blocky-app.com
      cart-bot.net
      chimpstatic.com
      config-security.com
      d3hw6dc1ow8pp2.cloudfront.net
      dov7r31oq5dkj.cloudfront.net
      googletagmanager.com
      ipapi.co
      jquery.com
      jsdelivr.net
      klaviyo.com
      nice-team.net
      omegacommerce.com
      privy.com
      redditstatic.com
      s3.amazonaws.com
      shop.app
      shopify.com
      shopifysvc.com
      typekit.net
      upsell-apps.com
      useamp.com
      whale.camera
   

   With pages like these we don't need network congestion. Seriously, whoever makes crud like this... get lost. That page was maybe worth a CDN for the images and a server for the text, that's it, The end, Fini, Slut, Einde, Schluss, Fin. All that other cruft is just ballast and not even needed to display the content, for that the base domain + shopify for the images is sufficient - try it yourself.

   Of course I block everything apart from the base domain by default and only allow what is needed to display the page and images. It is a sad state of affairs that is had to come to this but there we are, everything is blocked. Happy now? You won't affiliatly.com or upsell-apps.com me, not ever. Nobody here on this network either since all that thrash goes straight to the black hole.
