- pjc50 7y agoThe page load took a second, on a desktop tethered to 4G. Chrome says "1.6MB transferred, 6.7MB resources" presumably because Google Analytics was a cache hit. Much of that is obfuscated-looking Ember containing some SVG and JSON inlined. A ctrl-R only loads about 20kb but still takes about half a second to render.
