  1. If you want to see absolute contempt for the user, look no further than the Birmingham Mail website: youtube.com/watch?v=A5GMdirwvcY&feature=youtu.be • Downloads 12mb of data • Takes over 1.6 minutes to load • Over 1000 HTTP requests (!) • Uses 2GB of RAM(!!) Really worrying for local journalism.
