I don't know what you did there, but it takes about 8 seconds on my desktop before it displays anything. Talk about "accelerated".

Edit: I checked with the Developer Tools, but I have no idea what is going on there. Assets are fully loaded within 500 ms, and then it just sits there for another 7.5 s before rendering anything at all. (I will note that cdn.ampproject.org is blocked by default in my uMatrix.)

Does it get faster when you don't block it?

Apparently yes. (Not on the same machine, but I just checked on my work notebook where I have uBlock rather than uMatrix, and cdn.ampproject.org is let through.)

Ah interesting. Thanks for bringing this up. I use uBlock but didn't have any issues rendering it. Since I don't really care about the SEO/Google hosting it it might make sense to just link to my own locally hosted version to avoid the adblocking block.
