To clarify: when we folded Tabzilla into Bedrock we relocated the assets (images, CSS, and scripts) but preserved the original URLs with some redirects. That extra redirect may be slowing down sites that load Tabzilla.

Of course, the redirect may be unavoidable. We should at least investigate and get a sense of the impact, and see if there's any way to improve it without breaking Tabzilla.

That report is also flagging redirects on the Webtrends tracking gif, but we may be able to remove that entirely now that we've switched to Google Analytics.

Also, webtrends has been removed.
