    Nothing in the URL says anything about what's behind it. Something ending in .html or .jpeg can be going through a dozen of microservices and proxies before returning a single byte to you. Any which of these can have countless number of dynamic components each with their own bottlenecks. And something ending in ?randomgarbage=something can be loaded straight from RAM on the nearest CDN.

      We all know this, but the simple thing to assume is this is an html file.
