If loading a small text page is a hassle... I'm not sure what millennium your connection is in.

This millenium maybe? You know, the one when Internet consumption largely switched from computers with wired connections to mobile with wireless ones. The one when all the media companies started jamming tons of javascript and user interface dark patterns down our throats.

Madox's site is a "small text page"; the WSJ site, even the mobile version, is a stellar scale monolith in comparison.

That "small text page" weighs in around 2.1MB.

I thought you were referring to the HN page, which is what the comment seems to suggest to me.

HN is probably small, but often suffers from bad latency.

Depends on where you are - HN uses cloudflare, so it can be incredibly quick (even on 3G on a mobile) if you hit a cached page.
