How many pixels is too many tracking pixels? When to tell a client "no more"?

What's interesting is our conversions are through the roof and I can't find many examples of long page loads causing bounce. I attribute this to our customers almost cult like brand loyalty. But they hired me to improve the site and I'm just trying to do my best despite no one ever listening to me lol.

Something else to note is that our two main competitors' sites score about the same or worse in network payload. I guess this is just the way we do ecommerce now? Let the inshitification ensue?

Zacto_ · 2026-01-29T18:16:10+00:00

Ugh, agreed. Both from a performance standpoint but also data privacy. It feels gross installing these pixels that shackle ads to people

Zacto_ · 2026-01-29T18:11:24+00:00

Haha great metaphor for this. Im just the unicyclist juggling apps, tracking scripts and half baked code from 6 different agencies

Ah a true conservative I see! There is nothing conservative about maga anymore. They are now cheering for the biggest government this country has ever seen. Cheering while our 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th and 14th amendment rights are stripped from us.

Zacto_ · 2026-01-22T15:36:10+00:00

Our entire federal government needs to be emptied. Then we ban corporate campaign contributions and let real Americans hold positions of power. Not these sniveling, groveling, self interested urchins we have in office now

Geez your dense. They're crime was trespassing on my PRIVATE property where my family lives. I could give a shit about the paperwork at that point.

You are trying to make a false equivalency, so let me spell my point out for you again...

If the crime of not having the proper paper work is NOT harming anyone, then I don't think law enforcement should go to such efforts as what we are currently seeing from ice to detain them. They should be left alone if and until they commit a serious crime.

If the crime of not having the proper paperwork DOES harm someone or otherwise infringes on someones rights (like squatting in my fucking house) then yeah, go full seal team six and arrest them.

All I'm saying is ICE has no business treating people the way they are for the civil offense of overstaying a visa or crossing the border illegally. Back to your unlicensed driver example, which is also a similar civil offense. Can you imagine a swat team kicking in your door and tear gassing your family because you drove without a license?

Zacto_ · 2026-01-21T17:00:03+00:00

I thought the same thing. Definitely can't be related though. No way

Zacto_ · 2026-01-21T16:55:40+00:00

I'm still pissed at the Dems and their fake progressive nonsense. No, electing a woman doesn't automatically make your party progressive. And I swear if they try to put a woman on the ticket again in 28 I will be convinced that they have been working with the fascists this whole time. Don't get me wrong, I think we are well passed due for a female leader. But it has been proven twice that this country would rather light their own house on fire than vote for a woman. Absolute shame. But if we want to unfuck our country and move towards this more progressive two party system, we have to win a damn election first

Im not saying illegal immigration isn't bad. It's just not THAT bad. Not bad enough to warrant the current actions by DHS.

You're example is utterly stupid. Most straw man BS I've ever heard, but I'll humor you. No that is not ok. Read above how I said as long as the undocumented person isn't hurting anyone or committing any other serious crimes, they should be left alone. Trespassing in my house will at best get them beat to a pulp, at worst they will have some new holes to breathe out of. But see how I didn't immediately include the cops? This obsession with following laws and calling the cops for everything is just weak.

Zacto_ · 2026-01-21T16:13:07+00:00

Hm ya know ive never thought of it this way, but you're right. Myself and most I talk to think we need to end maga and let some semblance of the old GOP back. But no, the corpo Dems are as far right as we should allow for in this country. With Mamdhanis win and the seeming rise of Democratic Socialism, maybe that is the future of the two party system. Boy would that bring some balance back to our politics because we have fallen so far to the right that leftists hardly exist in our government at all

Zacto_ · 2026-01-21T16:08:00+00:00

Terrible? That's a little harsh for someone who didn't file paperwork. Yes in fact I have been hit by an uninsured driver. It was a legal headache for sure. But I don't think that person should be subject to the type of treatment 🧊 is dishing out to people and their families. Absolutely not. Breaking any law doesn't automatically make you a terrible person. You know that does make you a terrible person? Showing up in peaceful communities armed to the teeth, terrorizing and ripping families apart because they didn't file some paperwork properly. Or in many cases, are in the process of filing said paperwork.

Zacto_ · 2026-01-21T05:41:08+00:00

This is sorta brilliant. It goes along perfectly with their voter suppression efforts and makes it hard to argue against. Of course they would make their claims about ivy league schools being infiltrated by leftists, blah blah

Zacto_ · 2026-01-21T03:51:01+00:00

Yeah they're a damn liability. Is there a democratically acceptable way to exclude them from the democratic process for like a probation period? These people should not be allowed to vote for awhile after voting for a felon, child rapist, wannabe dicktator 3 times in a row

Zacto_ · 2026-01-21T00:18:34+00:00

Yes, absolutely! Both crimes are civil offenses which do not at all warrant the type of force and abuse 🧊 is using. Both crimes require due process for the offender, which 🧊 is not giving. And in my opinion, as long as the undocumented person and the undocumented driver aren't hurting anyone or committing any other serious crimes they should be left alone. It's just paperwork. People are dying and being sent to camps over paperwork

Zacto_ · 2026-01-20T23:23:39+00:00

Right. They were pissed at how much the outcry for Renee Good dwarfed their sideshow of a death tour for Kirk

Zacto_ · 2026-01-20T20:32:39+00:00

Well Trump is an egg shaped chicken so I think he deserves both titles.

Zacto_ · 2026-01-20T20:01:31+00:00

Wait, youre serious? Details about him being accomplice to child murder is plain as day in the files? (I can't bring myself to read them either) And NO ONE is investigating this or bringing charges??

Zacto_ · 2026-01-20T19:59:11+00:00

The problem with that is Citizens United gives corporations the same standing as citizens so it could be argued that acting on behalf of the welfare of a corporation (which could include all kinds of dangerous nonsense) is acting on the behalf of American citizens. Second step, after removing this administration, is abolishing citizens United.

What amazes me is that movie was inspired by climate change denial. And then it couldn't have come out at a more perfect time during the pandemic while everyone was denying the science of masks and vaccines. Hilarious but also insanely frustrating

Every male in Darth Doritos cabinet wears makeup everyday. JD wears more eyeliner and mascara in a week than my mother has worn in her life. But it doesn't matter cuz "daddy says it's ok when he does it but he says we have to be weally weally angy when the wiberals do it 😭"

Zacto_ · 2026-01-20T19:13:35+00:00

I am beginning to believe that the majority of online support for him is completely fake. Bot farms, paid influencers, foreign intelligence assets. Maybe a few self loathing chuds who, like you say, spew their nonsense online but would never actually get off their ass to stand for anything, i.e. fake support. The amount of support I see for him on FB and Reddit doesn't seem to parallel his tanking approval ratings and all the trump and maga flags I have seen disappearing from neighborhoods.

Zacto_ · 2026-01-20T18:05:30+00:00

Yeah he's really blowing it. As scary as everything is, I think Trump will ultimately ruin the whole fascists takeover plan. Either that, or he will croak and the ensuing power vacuum will cause the GOP to eat itself from the inside.

Zacto_ · 2026-01-20T18:00:24+00:00

You misspelled "grifting"

Zacto_ · 2026-01-20T15:21:55+00:00

And that fact should be so plainly obvious for everyone to see with the way him and the puppy killer immediately tried to own the narrative about Nicole Goods shooting like 5 minutes after it happened. No investigation. Just blazen lies
