Ask HN: How to measure performance compromises of adtech/tracking scripts?
2 by pentagrama | 0 comments on Hacker News.
I'm working as a UX designer/Project lead on a website, and the marketing/ads/traffic team keeps asking me to load the site with scripts. I've tried raising concerns about user privacy, but they haven't given it much weight. So, I'm considering tackling it from a performance angle instead, things like site speed and SEO impact. Maybe I'll have better luck with that approach. Does anyone know of any resources or tools to compare how much weight, CPU usage, or other performance overhead these scripts cause? So far, I've had to implement Google Analytics, Google Ad Manager, Marfeel, and "Facebook Pixel" with more likely coming my way. Any advice would be hugely appreciated. Thanks in advance.
