I just loaded a few Google services I use. AdSense takes 6 seconds to load. DoubleClick takes 10-15 seconds to load. Running a speed test on fast.com I'm getting 200Mbps.
Without question Google makes the slowest and least responsive sites I use. It's like the 600lbs man giving tips for staying in shape and living a healthy lifestyle. When they have a nearly unlimited budget and access to some of the best engineers and infrastructure on the planet, and they can't practice what they preach, it's difficult for me to listen.
Switching from Google Analytics to GoatCounter[0] was one of the best decisions I ever made for my personal site. I hadn't realized that the slowness of GA was keeping me from using it. The UI of GC is so fast that I often check it for fun, even on my phone.
