That's why you'll see me commenting here that linked websites are bloat and take 10 seconds to load (: (OP'd website and HN are great though)
I'm curious, how quickly does our product load for you? [1]
The SSR version should be much faster [2].

I inputted this-is-an-example-email@example as the E-Mail address, and as the response to the form submission, received a plain JSON document, which may not be desired. http://1507103400/dir/fastcomments.txt <= request example
But regarding performance I'd say it's perfectly usable. `neofetch --stdout` output of the machine on which I tested is also in the linked file. I used the palemoon browser.
I didn't test out Links browser, there's a chance it might work.
We execute the frontend code server side and there are some edge cases here and there :)
I use Badwolf as the primary browser, which comes with built in toggles for disabling images and JS loading, and that makes web browsing tolerable most of the time. I've even managed to stream from it to Twitch using ffmpeg without much of a problem!
Gentoo packages the links web browser, which is very minimal (own rendering system) and not useful for modern browsing, but useful for reading articles (also HN works).
There used to be a package repository for Debian for ungoogled-chromium, but that recently stopped being updated, so I uninstalled it. I never managed to build it on Gentoo, it took multiple days and I never had the patience.
Badwolf looks interesting but unfortunately doesn't have any ad-blocking programs.
