Then you're not doing a fresh load of the page. There are over 30 images visible on the front page, so your measure doesn't pass the smell test, does it?

Nope. Different problem.
The article was linked to a page under the domain "mangadex.dev".
Without any other context, I had assumed "home page" meant http://mangadex.dev , or what I got when clicking "Home" on the linked article.
Apparently not.
I see 17 requests, all over either h2 or h3. 4 of them JS, and 2 images.
