I use no script and there is a lot of weird functionality with this site as well. I would click on one specific ad, and it'd link to the one right above it. Also I tried highlighting text but again, a similar issue, it'd highlight like a paragraph above where I was. When I just allowed all javascript on the page though it worked fine.

Seems a little too javascript heavy imo.

Thank you for surfacing this issue. To better understand (and replicate) your UX, is this the No Script chrome extension?

I'll have to look into a solve for this in Webflow (my no-code builder). Otherwise, it may have to wait until if/when I (likely contract to) rebuild with custom code.

I'm actually on firefox. It also loads very slowly right now so I'm not sure if that's what's being loaded on our end or on the servers end either. I have tried it from the falkon browser as well and the slow loading existed there also.

I enabled workwithindies.com, have ajax.googleapis.com, gstatic.com, vimeo.com, vimeocdn.com, and youtube.com enabled when I encountered my highlighting and clicking issue.

I just made an update that looks like it reduced load times by >90%. Would love to see if you notice a difference.
Immediately haha! Works much better with and without no script enabled.
