Wufoo forms are very slow to load and submit

Wufoo forms load and submit very slowly on Firefox. KXT.org uses Wufoo forms for its contests and giveaways. Here is a current example: https://kxt.org/2022/07/win-tickets-the-head-and-the-heart/ You will see a blank space under "Good luck!" where the form should be. After a while, the form will eventually load.

This slowness has existed for as long as I can remember on both Windows and MacOS running all versions of Firefox up to and including the current versions.

The forms have always loaded and submitted fine on Chrome.

It takes some times before the form appears, but it looks that there is a lot of content (media like images and ads) on the page before the form is rendered. If I filter the Network Monitor for "kera.wufoo.com" then it doesn't take that long before I see those request appear. There is however a location redirect for the iframe html file that can add extra time.

Thanks for helping to narrow down the slow loading issue on the webpage. I wonder why Chrome loads and submits this form at a normal speed but Firefox does not?
