But it is not just a cold start problem. Check your network tab on a "warm" search.

Here is what I get:

2 seconds to load and 1.12MB transferred, all on "warm" start.

Using Chrome Dev Tools I'm seeing around 150-200KB actually transferred on each search page result (2MB resources, though most are cached).

I'm also seeing content loaded happen in under 1 second.

Can't tell from your UI screenshot, but quite often loading a page with devtools open will disable the cache. I forget if this is the default behavior or not.

And the top half of the results is all ads! I don’t know how people stand Google.
