There's a bootstrap loader at https://bandysc.github.io/AvaloniaVisualBasic6/_framework/do... which downloads the application, which has been compiled to WASM, and the dotnet runtime. Which is why it takes so many seconds to first page view.
The Avalonia framework is a third party UI toolkit.

I'm seeing a long load time in Firefox but in Chromium, loading takes maybe a second. Loading the entire .NET runtime isn't exactly lightweight, but it seems there's also some kind of browser engine problem in my Firefox setup that slows this page down artificially.
I must say I'm impressed that this approach even works with only 16MiB of data transferred over the line (though that 16MiB decompresses to about 50MiB).
