Tulsa World Website

[Gaspar]

What has happened to the Tulsa World website. I've noticed over the past few months that any link that directs you to a TW story takes forever to load and frequently fails altogether.

Has TW finally decided to give up on that whole internet fad?

it's some horridly implemented dynamic javascript injection/ajax mess
I'm guessing related to their paywall implementation.
doesn't load at all on my home PC for reasons unknown

It's all running out of Omaha these days.

Tried to hit it from my phone this morning because of a FaceBook post they made about some arrest or something. BANG! white browser screen and nothin!

I went ahead and blocked them from my timeline, because it seems that KRMG runs almost identical news reports, and their website works.

Too many ads are preloading before the content.

If an ad server is failing then you have to wait for their request to timeout. Unfortunately that period is longer that most browsers timeout period so you end up with nothing or just the story title.

I clicked on one random story just now and got 26 ads and three videos. One of those videos autoplays and the other two begin to playing if you just accidentally move your mouse over them)

Sacrificing functionality, usability, and load times for $$$.

I'm not having any issues. Can you guys post a link to one that you are.

It's frustrating too that they continue to link articles from the Daily Oklahoman that you can't read unless you pay for their subscription too.

They must not realize that doing so only drives viewers to whatever competition has the story.
