Can we talk about how GeoCities pages loaded compared to modern sites?

Back in 1997, I had a GeoCities page about my cat that took maybe 10 seconds to load on dial-up, but everything came up in order. Now I sit here waiting for a simple blog to load while 17 trackers and 3 autoplay videos fight for bandwidth. Does anyone else miss when a page just showed you the content without all the extra nonsense?

Ads were just ugly gifs then, not tracking scripts.
