Really? Randomly clicking e.g. Providers > Azure, I see a significant loading animation (the grey lines) - likely slower than just loading a simple new page each time. (Compare e.g. https://docs.python.org/3/library/weakref.html.)

(Single Page Applications arguably have their place. I'm just really confused why you think this is a particularly good example.)

On my awful connection, serverless is as fast as HN on new pageloads, and faster than HN when navigating to cached pages.

HN is my baseline for how fast a site should be.

HN is typically how I determine no connection vs. crap connection. I could `ping` I suppose, but in these circumstances I'm in the browser having just signed in to the crap/not connecting AP.

You can test the difference yourself by toggling JavaScript in your browser.
