Wow this website loads incredibly fast.

Sarcasm? There's an 8 second animation until anything shows up. From the page's stylesheet:

  body {
    animation: -amp-start 8s steps(1,end) 0s 1 normal both;
  }

  @keyframes -amp-start {
    0% {
      visibility: hidden;
    }
    100% {
      visibility: visible;
    }
  }

I think the idea is that it's supposed to hide the content until the page has loaded entirely, then fade it in, because it "looks faster". But if uMatrix (or something similar) blocks scripts from ampproject.org, you just get a nice 8s delay. You can get around it by removing /amp/ from the end of the URL ( https://herbsutter.com/2017/11/11/trip-report-fall-iso-c-sta... )

? The site is loaded before I can even tab to it.

uh ? I don't see anything being animated when opening it

That's because it's not laden with shitware like most other sides.

Herb Sutter's awesome like that.
