Bizarrely poor performing websites

Anyone have any websites that surprise you for how poorly they perform?
My big one is tractorsupply.com. Over a minute of load time on pages. Pages get timed out all the time.
But the more surprising one is bestbuy.com. Of all the sites that you would expect to be optimized, nope. Same thing, you put a filter on search results and just sit there while half the page loads and half the page just blinks.
Shouldn't be a throughput issue, is it processing on the server end?

I work in this space, large companies websites go to shite because they have numerous discrete teams all trying to do their own thing and adding their shitty code to the codebase.

Wow yeah I checked out bestbuy.com and the browser inspector console is flooded with errors on page loads and while scrolling, and of course the experience is slow page loads.
Surely they know what that costs them in sales, so I guess they've done the math and making it better isn't worth the cost?

I work in manufacturing and this plagues the industry. Managers create little bullshite teams that go everywhere and "optimize" processes without understanding how each department affects the other. Trainwrecks everywhere.

The homdepot app is horribly slow. Not sure if the website is better. I do use it often as they have same day delivery.
