Description

Hello,

My first experience with the website was not a good one, I used a 3G connection/mobile and it took a few minutes until the big preview Gopher to appear.

I think the loading process should be investigated? Or add a loading animation? It looked like the website is not working (white page).

Research direction

Reproduce the initial load on a mobile or throttled 3G connection and inspect the website's startup path; the issue does not name specific files or tests. Done means the initial experience is investigated and the page no longer appears to be a blank, broken white screen while the large Gopher preview loads.
