I just opened the site in chrome and did a hard refresh on the Good 2G setting of the chrome tools, only took 3 seconds. Maybe you're cell phone dropped the connection or something.

View on HN

It takes about 12 seconds on a 64k connection (the default if you used up your data cap).

In contrast, HN loads in half a second on that connection.

Obvious result: AMP is bloated.

I don't think its AMP. I think its my fault. Out of the box, you can't place analytics on the page. There is a special tag for any analytics. It seems I'm getting an error, and so Google has not cached it. Thank you for telling me. I need to debug that.

That being said, I just received 239 ms with Pingdom.[1]

Well, cache doesn’t matter when the page is almost a quarter megabyte, but you have only a 64kib connection.

The majority of time spent will be on getting the 170kiB AMP lib.
