The render looked fast. Perhaps the buttons have click events intercepted by an analytics library, and the async requests to load analytic libraries have to time out first? Can you network tools the load? I’m not saying the new site is fast or anything but it surely doesn’t take a minute to become interactive in most cases. Also are you using any dns based blocking like pi holes? Sometimes this can cause a network request to time out rather than instantly fail.

New reddit: https://streamable.com/o6wy2x

Old reddit: https://streamable.com/k99kuo

Looks like the reddit servers are just slow, but the old reddit doesn't need to load so many JS files to become usable. Even if it is only halfway loaded you can already interact with it.

Because of the amount of JS files that the new reddit needs, it's not even a contest.

Gigabit internet, super computers in our pockets.. and people think this is "fast". This is why we can't have nice things..
