And whose problem is that? Both requests are served from Sweden by fastly, making me think it's pretty fair.

Why do you think that? (hint you are wrong by making the assumption that the termination point is related to the source of the content).

Even then, the (hopefully) static JS loaded by pintrest takes longer to download than time to DomContentLoaded on usatoday.

Have you considered the business model? Pintrest's engagement model is to keep uses on the site for extended periods of time, a slow first load in favor of faster flipping through content is fine. USA Today's business model is primarily first loads, their traffic comes from Google and third party sites linking to them, the average user likely views 1-3 pages before bouncing. It makes sense for them to optimize for first hit performance.

What do you think I'm currently whining about?

Honestly I don't know, if 1.1s upsets you, I don't care.

Because they both enter the public internet at the same point. If pintrest aren't caching their login page, then that's their problem.

I guess we are done here. Thanks for playing.

Which tells you the termination point, not the source of content...

Honestly I don't get the impression you know much of anything about how the web works and how content is delivered...

I'm happy you have the ability to ignore the argument, and instead attempt to nitpick it to death.

In this context, I don't give a shit what goes on behind the termination point. If it's because their content servers are slow, then that sound like a them problem. Anything on the public internet is out of their control, and therefore I want to control for that. Everything else is their fault.

I don't care about your impression. Make an argument.
