At first, I thought it was a good exercise (and it still is), but going through the result [0] made me more skeptical. It is... slow? I mean, Internet Explorer slow. Maybe I'm spoiled by the level of responsiveness of application-style web interfaces, but opening an album or returning to the library feels slow. Is it because I'm browsing from Western Europe and the application is hosted in the USA? I'm used to browsing multi-page apps that don't pretend to be apps, and having a 500ms load time after a click is expected and feels right. But waiting the same time for a click in a page that looks like an app makes me uncomfortable. It's weird - is this the Uncanny Valley again?

Can you expand on what you mean by slow? For me everything loaded extremely fast.

  the main page loads fast but the interactions are slow, like there's some artificial delay the 500ms estimate above seems about right... it should be much faster. Navigating from one static page to another should be sub-100ms assuming the server is on the same continent

This is what I got going from the main page to an album page: 55ms for html, 67ms for css, 15ms for webp image. I'm in bay area so it might be slower in other places

  Runs slow, not loads slow. Also, what bay area. There must be thousands of bay areas on a planet covered by 2/3 water

    What planet? There’s billions out there too

      Could be the cargo bay area of a huge alien star ship... (Btw from my own bay area of a certain SE Australian state it does feel a little laggy when navigating, but quite usable)

    It’s a bit US (and tech) centric, but Bay Area is short for the San Francisco Bay Area.

      This is where upper case actually makes a difference. Maybe that’s what the parent was alluding to.

I agree with other commenter, works fast for me.

Very fast for me.

Yep, the site is very slow in Southeast Asia.

Looks like the enhance-styles.css doesn't get cached properly and gets requested on every route. The browser then waits for 500ms for a response from a server, likely due to increased web traffic. An issue which could have been avoided by using a SPA :D

  So the solution to cache a resource it's to use an SPA? why not find the reason for this css not being cached and solve it?
