You probably got served an Anubis challenge first, doing some computations to block (LLM) scraper bots, which does slow down loading by a second or so

- mort96 1y agoSpeaking of, I don't mind that in principle, but why does it linger so long on the "Success" page? It adds a handful of milliseconds of page loading and 30ms of computation, and an eternity (~seconds) of just an unnecessary delay before even starting to load the site I actually wanna go to, whys that?
- sureglymop 1y agoMakes the page entirely unreachable from within the Harmonic hacker news client on android... Good idea in practice but defeats the purpose if it blocks legitimate users.
- immibis 1y agoIt's not a good idea in practice precisely because it blocks legitimate users. As it always will. It's not possible to do this sort of thing without blocking legitimate users.
