There's a new trend to try and put the really important CSS rules inline so your content can render quickly then fill in the rest later without making the initial render look like it was designed by design blind programmers, i.e. the unmodified Times New Roman HTML page.
The Gruand is also trying progressive image loading.
Unfortunately it actually just looks shit, it's like peeking behind the curtains in Oz as your content kinda half renders then renders again properly, twitching into life like some sort of half botched Frankenstein experiment.
Notice the `loadFontsAsynchronously` and the `loadCssFromStorage` in the js.
In some ways I like that the Gruand's team is experimenting, in others it's frustrating to see how the creaky and leaky HTML/web browser combo is still justifying people doing all sorts of crazy things to try and get a simple page to render quickly 25 years after the web was born. And "responsive" designs that are really just mobile designs stretched to a one-size-fits-all simply because browsers are too fucking stupid to tell you what they actually need.
