Solved

Unagi.amazon and SSL-images database

Since I use Avast, which seems to be the toughest shield, the loading times grew strongly. Is there a routine to avoid the growing loading times of the site? I read an article that some of the the amazon services for content which are used by IMDb are often also used by cybercriminals, so it's save to use a blocking method for this. But can I somehow get rid of the long loading proceedures? At the end I get the page, but just if I wait long enough for the servers to give up requesting.

Interesting. Since I wrote that, the connection to the site runs fast.

@Breumaster​ Now slow again, in other part of the pages.

1. Avast is crap. Get Norton 360 or Malwarebytes Pro. 2. "I read an article that some of the the amazon services for content which are used by IMDb are often also used by cybercriminals" Huh?

@NYVKE​ The #1 spy tool? No! Norton even doesn't have a real protection. I quited after windows defender found three trojans Norton didn't find. Seems the only protection is to stay out everything that happens online. Even news pages track you and it nearly looks like total control that beginns around the world. While we grin at the chinese people which have total control openly, it happens since some time veiled in the western internet. I'm very sad that the so called freedome is just a catchword. No one is or will be free in future. AIs make it even worse. Avast is better than many scanners, but it slows down, because it breaks any source of malicious content. When waiting some time, the content keepers give up after several trys to screen you, but first you need to lock them up for not getting screened easy, at first attempts.

@Breumaster​ Btw.: Even Multi-Billion-Dollar Companies use Avast because it is the safest. And believe me, they can afford the ammount of money to get the best pros.

@NYVKE​ Correct, but it seems that several CDNs (ContentDelivery Networks) of Amazon are seemingly abused by cybercriminals by the use of cloudflare, which partly is an Amazon CDN: https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=284172.0 So Amazon CDNs are often blocked by Avast. When you use an cloudflare Network and let your IP-Adress be checked by several IP-checkers, you will often find Amazon as server-base. Especially, when you take several south American VPN-points and North America, it mostly will be Amazon servers. IMDb provides its images over Amazon servers, .... and so do many other parties, which some of them can be shady.

@Breumaster​ So when you stay save, it might be that normal content is also blocked consequently. Like images from IMDb.

I have the free subscription to Avast, and I can't stand how it bogs down system resources and sometimes deletes legitimate executable files.

I figure it is slow regardless, because of all the bloat in the very foundation of the design of the website.

@jeorj_euler​ It wasn't before the change with Avast. Even though I should load 50MB of anything goes 10 times faster than opening that (IMDb's) website. Got a fast internet connection here. But I won't leave Avast.
