Baseball Reference
Baseball Reference
I don't know if it's just me, but is anyone else having a lot of trouble with the site? Something changed a few weeks ago, and there are more intrusive pop-up ads and everything loads slower - if at all. I've had to close the tab that I loaded it on a few times because it became unresponsive. A real shame because it's one of the best resources available for stats.

Sheik,
I just went out to baseball-reference.com bounced around with no issues with loading or speed. Running from an 12 year old linux lenovo laptop for reference.
Have you tried different devices?

Re: Re: Baseball Reference
Baseball Reference has gone heavy on the ads lately - they are really monetizing their acquisition of Immaculate Grid. I also noticed they have had to put in a lot of bot-blockers (as has Pennant Chase) - these stat-based sites are getting hammered by AI bots trying to scrape the content. That said, I wouldn't expect it to be slow for long, they have a robust tech staff over there.

I have a 2 yr old Lenovo Yoga - l'm using Chrome with Webroot anti-virus and Windows Firewall. Something happened recently that changed how I access BBR. It isn't important enough to change my day to day settings to accommodate their issues.
Re: Baseball Reference
Only issue I've had is having to often do a capcha for Football Reference (owned by the same group that owns BBR) almost every time I load it for the first time on any given day. BBR hasnt ever given me a capcha (though I doubt that'll stay the same given what was said previously about AI bots)
Ads havent been too bad for me tbh
