The only ad blocker that I have on the old, but still going strong iPad is Weblock, but it's not being updated. And It appears to be slowing down Safari. I haven't made an exhaustive search on the App Store, but with every one I've tried to download, the not compatible with this iPad comes up.
Also, I have tried all the recommended fixes for slow browsing, ad nauseam.

Yes, sorry. I wasn't paying close enough attention to your model. I recently replaced my iPad 3. That older model couldn't run just about any ad blockers and other software. The hardware and max version of iOS it could run was simply too old to support them.
I use the free version of AdGuard on my Mac Pro, iPhone 6s and 6th gen iPad. It’s available in the App Store.
Once installed, launch the app itself and turn on the Annoyances option. Since you already use an older ad blocker, I presume you’re aware you then need to go into Settings > Safari > Content Blockers and turn AdGuard on.
I mention this particular ad blocker since I have a good amount of experience with it, and can say it does very well blocking most ads without slowing my devices down.
Well, your model is from 2012 I believe? I'm not sure that you will find anything that is backward compatible with a 2012 model as all app/software developers have to move forward to make their apps compatible with the latest iOS.
You don't need a third party blocker.
Settings > Safari then toggle on Block Pop-ups.
Yes, it’s an old model, but it runs circles around the much newer iPad Pro c/w the latest iOS, when it comes to battery usage longevity.
And yes I know, it’s all my fault that the iPad Pro with the latest iOS, runs out of juice long before the older iPad that’s still used whenever the iPad Pro with the latest IOS is homesteading at the end of the charger.
Not sure what any of that has to do with the question you asked. And, a bit of a silly statement. No one has said anything about an iPad Pro, a battery, or that it's all your fault.
Personally, I have absolutely no battery problem with my iPad Pro.
Good luck finding an ad blocker.
Block Pop-ups is selected in Safari for all of my Apple products, but chokes on just about every website that crawls with advertisements.
And on the iPad in question, it's next to totally useless.
