I don't know if its just me, but the site runs extremely slow on a pretty well-specced desktop PC. I think there might be too much going on. I gave up trying to scroll through.

This is on Chrome 72.

I'd like to have videos of the screens of people saying it's fine because here's how it looks on a computer able to run witcher 3 in 4k at 60fps : https://streamable.com/6wnj0
It's the same story here on Firefox with Webrender (which even manages to tame the horribly unoptimized youtube).

I am sure there is some irony on some level and dimension when the first piece of text on this abomination of a site is "Lightning Fast"

That's a fairly old version of Chrome, try updating. It's working well here on Brave (based on Chromium 76) but this is on a high end computer.
A release from May 29, 2019 is considered “fairly old?” If we were talking protection against the latest vulnerabilities, fine. But for tech compatibility? I think we just found the “hell no to backwards compatibility” web developer in the crowd.
Weird, it's quite fast on an ipad mini 1.
Seems fine on my older Xperia Compact.
Seems fine on my iphone 6s.
It's pretty bad in Safari as well :(
