it takes forever for things like BuzzFeed to load now. I'm not sure if it's because my phone is full of storage or it's the app itself. Please advise.

Why do some articles take so long to load? It's not my internet connection or speed, on other sites it's working fine and some articles on Smart News load up quickly, others take for ever it seems. Are you trying to load ads or cookies and my ad blocker is stopping you from doing that causing the delay?
