TechCrunch or MP3
by dwilson on May.26, 2011, under rants
I have always quietly beefed TechCrunch‘s site’s bloatness, but this is too far:
A closer look would show 4mb. 
So that’s your choice. Viewing the TC homepage once, or downloading an MP3. I guess I appreciate them adding every analytics/ad serving/user tracking/social widget they ever review into their site, but this is getting a little silly. Especially since they added the following page view whoring script:
setTimeout('location.reload(true)',1200000);
So left alone, you get a refresh (albeit with caching help) every 20 minutes.
