Lecturing about accessibility with latency so high that you have no idea if any clicks are actually meaningful. I click "banners" and there's no indication anything is happening until 3 seconds later, when it takes me to a page that doesn't directly talk about banners until later. Then there is a link there that says "banners", and takes me to a different page, 3 seconds later. No indication that anything is happening or waiting during that time.

All of the links respond instantly for me, even on a slow 4G connection.

Is it possible that your browser or internet connection are slow?

I think it is likely that there is a slow/high latency part of the connection. This is usually represented to the user by showing a loading spinner or something like that. However, it is using some partial reloading in the background instead of just following a link, and as a result is not letting the browser tell me that it is loading, and it doesn't have any sign of loading presented otherwise.

It does not appear to be doing partial reloading, it's just serving a page.

Then very strange behavior. It does not show active loading.
