One interesting reaction I had: things loaded so fast that I didn't notice one of the page changes and thought it was stuck. For sites like this one where different pages look very similar, maybe it could be worth experimenting with some sort of brief flashing animation (to make it look like a real page load)?
Yes, I was thinking about something in the like of NProgress: http://ricostacruz.com/nprogress/ If the page is displayed instantly, show a complete bar that disappears. (I’m not sure if that would solve the problem, I may explore different solutions.)
