gollark: If palaiologos' website loads faster than mine ignoring network latency, I don't really know why.
gollark: The biggest thing is the comments embed JS, which is unfortunately 40KB.
gollark: osmarks.tk needs page.js (8KB) for some logic, but that is loaded asynchronously anyway.
gollark: Weird.
gollark: The core osmarks.tk frontpage is only 10KB, which should be enough for it to start rendering in everything.
