Lemmy is the only website that causes my CPU fan to ramp up, other than games or heavy 3D stuff. Why is that?

Firefox on Windows 10 on Ryzen 5 5600X. It does seem to run better in Chrome. It’s only noticeable when the page is loading.

    The default Lemmy UI is pretty lightweight. Do you have extensions, especially Lemmy home instance redirection extensions?

    I’ve definitely used one of those that made browsing lemmy incredibly slow as it was busy rewriting all the links.

    Lemmy loads basically instantly on Firefox on my desktop, and same on my phone with Chrome.
