This site loads within of < 1 second for me.

Any modern site? I can wait 2-3 Minutes to even begin to see text.

And thanks to the assholes who want to prevent the "flash of unstyled content" I just see blank white for 2-3 minutes before seeing any actual text.

By now I've written a custom tool and proxy based on Mozilla’s reader mode so I have an app, open the link in it, and it downloads only the extracted text, in markdown.
