Hi *******
From November 30, 2015 readers will no longer need a subscription to access Sun content.
You don’t need to do anything - as a code collector you can continue to enjoy all the benefits of Sun Perks, which are still available to access using a Sun Code from the back of the newspaper.
Thank you for your continued loyalty to The Sun. We value your support and hope you continue to enjoy everything thesun.co.uk has to offer.
The Sun
The perks for those who are code collectors are quite handy.

I had noticed over the last few days that less and less is protected from casual browsing.

The Sun was always a weird one because it depends on mass appeal so you think they would want to go for advertising and high page views.

Yes they opened up part of its paywall content a few weeks ago obviously in preparation for a full rollout.

Yes it was quite surprising when they put their content behind the paywall as its main online rivals which are the Daily Mail , Daily Mirror , The Guardian are growing their free online websites exponentially and have been for several years.

On a technical front they've redesigned the main page so it loads in parts as you scroll down so it comes in really fast especially compaired to others where you wait for ages as the whole page and all the various links load.
