Not the prettiest but absolutely amazing to use! I'm sure web devs are laughing at me right now, but I genuinely didn't realise websites with that many images etc could actually be that fast.

I would recommend comparing to

https://next-faster.vercel.app/

NextFaster feels faster than McMaster IMHO

~$500 for hosting that site feels insane to me [0]. I feel like a single $10 VPS could handle that load.

Can't agree. That website is much simpler. Just a static list of images and text.

There's no complex, dynamic filter. And no special rendering per type of item.

It's a glorified tumbler.
