  Because many are served by a 3rd party CDN that’s more robust than the original article.

  Also might be part of the coding.

  As I mentioned, small mom and pop shops can’t afford to give you free content without ads. So they prioritize the ad so they can get paid for the impression.

  Unfortunately the content is not free to create and maintain.

      Not all, but I have plenty of 1 or 2 people sites that are purely ad based for income.
