Washington Post load time

I am running lynx the cat version 2.9.0dev.9 on a ThinkPad x220 under
OpenBSD 7.0

I notice that when accessing the Washington Post web site:

https://www/washingtonpost.com

lynx the cat responds with:

HTTP request sent; waiting for response

and then takes several seconds to load.

Using links the chain however load time is practically instantaneous.

I am wondering what the reason behind the difference in load time is and
if there is any setting or configuration I could set to improve lynx the
cat's load time?

Thank you
Stan
