High CPU Usage on Website (65% on Dual E5-2697 v2) - Reviewed Code - Can't Locate Code [closed]

I visited the website:



Blackjack Random Shuffling / Card Shuffling Anomalies



The moment the page loads, my CPU usage on a 24 Logical / 48 Core HT Machine jumps to 65% which is entirely used by Chrome Browser.



I reviewed the code to the site, but can't seem to locate where / why the CPU usage jumps so high.



I am assuming it's a hidden crypto mining application, perhaps javascript, but don't understand how the site is taking hold of so much CPU usage via the html I reviewed in the page's source.



Any thoughts/insight on this would be appreciated!

    There are a bunch of JS libraries for mining in browsers. Most of them were developed to be marketed as an alternative to intrusive advertising. For me, using adblock blocks most of these scripts. To find them, look for suspicious script tags, or go through the JS source code to see if any such libraries are included.
