I don't understand. That is not a shit website.

Nor is it fun to visit (more than once).

I'm on mobile.

It loads quick.

I saw no ads.

It was reasonable straight to the point: no explanation about this being grandmothers pie recipe or anything to that effect.

(In fact, if you consider the point of the website to be funny it is actually straight to the point.)

If it is fast, doesn't track me and provides the answers I need I can put up with some animations.

I'd say what we have today is far more problematic than a few animations.

Also, most surviving websites from that era aren't that bad when it comes to animation: use marginalia to search for food recipes and see what I mean.

Fetch is great. I never understood the need for installing axios when fetch works fine. I remember the good old days of XMLHttpRequest.

I feel like I had a literal flashback seeing the little Netscape gif at the bottom. Wow, what a trip.
