Super slow for what should amount to HTML - why is this website so slow?

  Because thousands (millions?) are stomping to it, as it was just announced and went viral?

    Still surprising it's failing this hard given most of the data on the site is static (I think? Difficult to tell since almost none of the site loads). Edit: tbh it's a shame they chose to do it all in react/js. I think this sort of data would be better served to the world as good old html for the most part - the build tool generated source for some of the pages on usafacts is horrendous.

    Still, it's just HTML.
