Looking at chrome dev tools, it looks like it might be the custom font causing the delay. I'm not sure exactly why though.

Interesting, I’d have naively assumed that’d be cached after first load by Chrome. Definitely one to investigate further.

Might as well drop custom fonts? This minimalist site would be fine with built in font families.

I recommend run Google Lighthouse for a single visitor view of perf and then use a load testing tool (locust, jmeter etc. to check load handling)

If you want to that is :)

Use the system font stack
