so everytime you get into artist search, the kemono website actually just sends you the whole list for a frontend search. this is pretty smart, but the transfer is 3 MB right now (a 10,992 KB file gzipped down to about 3000 KB) in http/2 transfer-encoding and that can be a bit slow.
it might be a good idea to pre-compress the list with some stronger setting:
* gzip -9 gives 2,898 KB
* zstd -11 gives 2,622 KB and compresses pretty fast (yes it is a possible option on http)
* brotli -11 gives 2,150 KB, compresses slow af, but might be more widely supported
(or maybe it's not worth the trouble. I mean, you own the website, you pay for the bandwidth, you know how often it gets fetched.)
