    I have a page that keeps failing the mobile friendly test.

    google states:

    Page partially loaded...
    (page seems to load fine...)

    could not load 3 page resources:

    https://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/id (XHR)
    Googlebot blocked by robots.txt

    https://static.doubleclick.net/instream/ad_status.js (SCRIPT)
    Googlebot blocked by robots.txt

    url to my page (redirect error)
    (seems to redirect fine for me....)

    IMO, site does not use google ads, so I am clueless why
    the first two issues have attributes to google adwords....

    any ideas?

    I am sorry I came late to this message. By now you may have found out the reason for the errors.
    I can take a pot shot at the possible cause(s): You may have a remnant of an asynchronous GA code in the header ( if you use a CMS) like so :
    
    <script async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>
    
    Code (markup):
    Check your html source code for any such inclusion. Apparently Google bot 'sees' a reference.
