Description
Describe the bug
Probably because of https://analytics.python.org/js/script.outbound-links.js and the fact I have ublock installed. Blocking the domain fixes things.
To Reproduce
- Install uBlock origin
- Go to a page on site
- Click outbound link
Expected behavior
To not wait 5 seconds

Research direction
Start by inspecting analytics.python.org/js/script.outbound-links.js and reproducing the outbound-link delay in Firefox with uBlock Origin on the linked docs page. Confirm whether the analytics script causes the wait and verify that outbound links navigate without a five-second delay when the fix is complete.
