3. Kaspersky (2024). The average website now has 48 trackers
Modern recipe sites are bloated with ads, trackers, and endless stories. Here's what the data shows:
Recipe pages load 2-5x more data than typical websites
From ad scripts, tracking pixels, and analytics alone
Recipe sites average 3-4x Google's recommended speed
Recipe bloggers intentionally add lengthy stories before recipes to increase page time for SEO and create more ad placement opportunities.2 Sites typically run 10-15 different tracking scripts simultaneously, including Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, affiliate networks, and retargeting codes.1
