Shag is a UK dating site. On both desktop and phone the homepage loads quickly, shows no ads and uses very little outside tracking, though a couple of large overlays sit on top of the page. Its pricing, cancellation terms and safety policies could not be read before signing up, so check them carefully after you join.
