with this pc spec and internet speed, I expect its "normal"

You’d be amazed. A very significant number of websites are anything but instant on my i9 14900k and 1000mbps connection. Our work identity provider/vpn app for 80 people takes about 15 seconds to start up on said machine. Apparently that’s “normal”

You'd be surprised i have 1g/1g and youtube still is not buttery smooth lol on my m3 mac pro, theirs always a noticeable gap between clicking play and it actually starting to stream

Let's create a metric, call it "click to streaming time" (CTST).

This site was instantaneous. Youtube was not.

(Even if it's an M4)

I have the same experience on a Macbook Air M1 (I don't think that matters at all) and 100 MBit/s DSL.
