There really isn’t that much of a delay, and once a visitor is confirmed, the rest of the site can still be zippy AF.
The downside with Anubis is that a properly-secured web browser will not be able to run its anti-AI code, and will fail. Not “you are a bot” fail, but “cannot run our checks” fail.
This is at a much more stringent level than CloudFlare’s maliciously invasive and user-hostile “protections”, so even fewer site visitors will be impacted, but can still be annoying to a privacy-oriented user.
