EDIT: Just checked in DevTools, it hangs on query to the graphql server for a really long time. I mean, sure, the page is probably slashdotted right now, but it seems a bit too prevalent - and definitely doesn't have a good UX when doing so.
Maybe server-side generation with cache would help initial load?
Still a problem when I don't remove uBlock.
As for keyboard, there seems to be some unclear to me focus grab which meant that I couldn't even attempt to scroll the page using arrow keys. Mind you, it's not just your site that does it, usually it's related to someone being a bit too fancy with autofocus on a searchbox. Not sure how to help there, web frontend is not exactly my forte :)
