Trackers, Counters, Traps
Google and Facebook pay web designers all over the world to insert code into web pages of customers that has the capability to spy for Google, Facebook and any other interested and paying party every time a visitor comes and looks at these pages.
Technologies such as key logging, face recognition, canvas fingerprinting and session recording are employed to monitor site visitors.
The biggest culprit is Google. According to researcher Gabriel Weinberg Google monitors around 85 percent of all existing websites worldwide. (Xanascout.org is not among them.)
Trackers are able to communicate with each other, telling other trackers how to track visitors in the “best” way.
As a result of this websites are packed with garbage these days – things that have absolutely nothing to do with the purpose of the page or site.
This privacy invading garbage slows down the loading of the pages as numerous invisible links have to be looked up and certificates have to be checked by the browser. Thus precious bandwidth is wasted. This is especially annoying as bandwidth is getting increasingly scarce because of all the additional things the Internet is supposed to do now: 6K TV, Voice Over IP, video telephony etc. All these things take up an enormous amount of bandwidth. The Internet was never designed for such data loads.
A few years ago an Internet page showed the content the designer put there in order to make the intended statement in an appealing fashion; today he gets paid to put garbage there. The garbage can actually take up more space than the content.

Conclusion:
1.
Learn how to build a website yourself, and never trust a web designer.
2.
Boycott everything from Google. Search with Duckduckgo, browse with Duckduckgo or Firefox, and disable all Google apps on android phones, especially Google Play services. If a phone does not allow that, trash it.
3.
Boycott controlling app stores, and download APKs instead. They can be installed offline and on as many mobile devices as you like.
4.
Get the APK Fshred, and clean the internal disk of your phone twice a day with it. (In the Symbian days it was possible to do that on a desktop computer; now none of the computer tools work for mobile devices.)

Let’s take a look at the number of lines of two Internet pages:
The first example shows a gallery with lean code; 20 pictures use 49 lines of code:

The second example shows a gallery with bloated code; 12 pictures and a number of small thumbnails with text use almost 3000 lines of code:

(The source code, by the way, also reveals that the web designers in charge are not entirely familiar with HTML syntax [dark red code means error code].)
