One thing that's really nice about codeberg is how fast the pages load. Browsing GitHub often feels very sluggish. Obviously there's a difference in scale there, but I hope codeberg can keep being fast.

Indeed. Github is a nightmare when I'm working on an unreliable 4G connection too (e.g. on a train in the UK). Half the page will load.

Night and day compared to something like Linear.

That is surprising. It is the opposite for me.

  $ time curl -L 'https://codeberg.org/'
  real    0m3.063s
  user    0m0.060s
  sys     0m0.044s

  $ time curl -L 'https://github.com/'
  real    0m1.357s
  user    0m0.077s
  sys     0m0.096s

A better benchmark is done through the web browser inspector (network tab or performance tab). In the network tab I got (cache disabled)
Github 158 requests 15.56 MB (11.28 MB transferred) Finish in 8.39s Dom loaded in 2.46s Load 6.95s Codeberg 9 requests 1.94 MB (533.85 KB transferred) Finish in 3.58s Dom loaded in 3.21s Load 3.31s

  I guess Github uses a lot of cache vs Codeberg.

That depends on location and GitHub pages generally take a while to execute all the javascript for a usable page even after the html is fetched while pages on Codeberg require much less javascript to be usable and are quite usable even without javascript.
Here are my results for what it's worth
$ time curl -o /dev/null -s -L 'https://codeberg.org' real 0m0.907s user 0m0.027s sys 0m0.009s $ time curl -o /dev/null -s -L 'https://github.com/' real 0m0.514s user 0m0.028s sys 0m0.016s

  Sure, it depends on your internet connection. But for Codeberg I see a blank page for 3-4 seconds until it shows something. On a big repo like Zig the delay is even worse.
  On Github any page loads gradually and you don't see a blank page even initially.

GitHub frontpage is very quick indeed, but browsing repos can sometimes have load times over a full second for me. Especially when it's less popular repos less likely to be in a cache.
