I haven't tried, but it looks as if the links are loaded everytime the user hovers/clicks is that right? To be really useful, you should preload all the news on that first page so that "instant" preview, is really instant. Any sort of delay here will hurt your app.

You are right, I see you are using fetch(). I'm taking a look at your code, hope you don't mind.
It's relatively fast in about half the sites, but the other sites seem to take a little longer I don't know why. It'd be interesting to do a performance test and see where are the bottlenecks.
Maybe rendering on 0 opacity would speed it up? I haven't slept so I may say stupid things.

About perfomance. Rendering is very fast in Chrome browser. Bottlenecks are a network latency and data transfer.
I am thinking about creating a caching service that will cache top popular sites.
