Great app! I was clicking much too fast on the shuffle button and it took a while for the next site to come up. This made me click on the shuffle button again, leading to more slowness. Perhaps adding some kind of progress indicator to let the user know the next site is loading would be useful.

The design is intuitive too.

Hmmm... how fast were you clicking (and what browser / how is your internet connection)

Chrome on 5Mb connection. I was clicking pretty fast (two or three times a second)

The shuffle UI shouldn't get longer to load as you spam the button. There's a self-cancelling delay from the time you click shuffle button until the frame loads so that when people click through super fast that the frame doesn't try to load each one. Within 300ms of letting up on the shuffle button the frame should begin loading no differently. Can you describe what happened in more detail please? (also do you remember the site that it loaded that was slow for you)?
