Thanks! It's actually much less for the bandwidth-constrained, I use adaptive coding. If you have the bandwidth though... That said, I know our page isn't particularly lightweight anyway, I've been pretty focused on expansion efforts and haven't had much time to update & work on the site.

This page was 9 seconds of white screen before the entire thing loaded at once. I'm on Starlink. Hopefully you get a chance to correct this in the future, as I'm really supportive of projects like yours, but if the page was linked from a top-5 article or something I would have hit the back button already.

  First Contentful Paint at 12.0 seconds here, and I'm on fiber.

  Totally - we're not advertising yet and usually only dealing with very local traffic at the moment, didn't expect to get tens of thousands of hits from linking to it from a hackernews comment! The backend is an azure appservice running on a single low-spec worker at the moment, wasn't planning on enabling scaling before doing a hard-launch but here we are.

  It's a great marketing strategy. People without broadband access will truly feel it when they visit.

Yes the white page with nothing else mad me think it was broken.

  It's currently running on a single azure appworker, you might've hit it during a service autoheal/reset. There's a fair bit of overhead for every connection since it's designed for our subscribers to use and get realtime stats on their connection, was not expecting to get tens of thousands of hits by linking to it in a hacker news comment.

21 seconds from click to video in this old neighborhood (50 Mbps) in Europe.
