That is correct but irrelevant. When I reach a landing page that mainly has text content (whether it's a news article, a blog post, a company's "about us" or a product's features list/matrix or something else), the page should load fast.
My browsers shouldn't need to make 100 network connections and download megabytes to display a thousand words of text and some images. It should be about 1 network connection and maybe dozens of kilobytes (for images).
We are not complaining about the web version of productivity apps like email, spreadsheets, project management, etc. loading slowly. But a newspaper article should load faster than a social media feed, and often they don't.
