I hear that, but this is fetching data from the Github graphql API the same way that the website does, so if you're getting slow responses from their servers this won't be any faster.
There is a lot of other stuff that gets loaded and parsed when you visit the site. I see 151 requests and get a DOMContentLoaded of 27.51 seconds. The slow requests aren't between me and the GQL API as far as I can tell.
