It's definitely still not addressed. As I'm typing this up even, it's lagging horribly, and for whatever reason, WoW gets disconnected EVERY time I check Wowhead while I'm playing to the point where I just can't check this site if I'm playing the game it's made for. That's a pretty big problem.
Oh and closing wowhead (not my browser) drops my CPU usage from ~70% to the usual 15%. My computer is stuttering to an insane < 1 FPS just trying to TYPE THIS FORUM POST AND ADS KEEP LOADING.
Wowhead, if you care about your site, please fix this. It's getting out of hand. You've been my homepage for I don't even remember how many years now and I'd rather that not change, but this is insanity.
PS: If I get one more ad that starts playing non-consented audio out of nowhere...
PPS: Giving an upset user a sales pitch is not the way to go. I'm well aware of Wowhead premium, but strong-arming people into paying for a service just so their computers don't stutter to a halt if they don't buy said service... Well, you get the idea. It's not very consumer-friendly.

Worst performance:
Use Chrome and block ads and visit
www.wowhead.com
Bad performance:
Use any browser and do not block ads
Okay performance:
(but not exactly nice to the ZAM team)
Use Chrome and block ads and visit ptr.wowhead.com
Use Firefox and block ads
Best performance:
Get Wowhead Premium
Those are your options. You're probably in the "Worst performance" setup. Try another setup.
The "Okay performance" setup will probably go away someday. Your best bet, long term, is to not block ads, or get Wowhead Premium.
If you block ads, but you see ads anyway, then you should know your performance is probably worse than not blocking them in the first place.
