A full minute?

Took me 5ish seconds? In Internet time, it does feel a bit like an eternity.

I’m curious if it’s faster on a reload?

I'm at 2 seconds load time on 300mbit.

me neither, and my home internet is pretty quick

not for me. same (or even a little longer this time).

it just didn't load data at first. It just loaded the Currently, Today, Friday, Saturday sections.

I shrugged my shoulders and checked email.

.

A few minutes later, I came back to the tab, noticed that the sections seemed really far apart. As soon as I resized my window, they populated. I don't know if it was a glitch or if just happened to populate exactly when I resized the window.

.

Now it loads fine (takes about 15-20 seconds), and no resizing the window needed. Weird. The slow load could be my home internet which has been shite for the last week.

Very odd that it always loads quickly for me. I am going to try to figure out what the cause could be.

FYI - Same experience for me yesterday and today. Eight unpopulated boxes for more than a minute. Went away. Came back, and it loaded.

On Mac running Chrome.

Potentially material side-note: I opened it by Command-Clicking the link, which opens it in a new tab, but doesn't switch to that tab automatically. I finished reading the posts on this page, then switched to the Hubski Weather tab... and it was like it hadn't actually loaded anything in the background. Like the moment I switched to the tab, was the first time the page tried to draw.

Is there some sort of "wait for focus" thing, that is stopping it from loading until its window is in the front...? (That'd be weird, but... I dunno... it occurred to me.)

loaded almost instantly today. Let's blame my shite internet and aging laptop before you waste any time digging.
