Come to think of it, I'm kind of surprised that Google Chrome doesn't have a "this link is broken, would you like to see what we have cached for this url?" feature.

Google Cache used to be so useful. But they've left that all to the Internet Archive now.

Or – some day when this runs on-device – a "smart preload" feature from Google Chrome. On slow connections, hallucinate a wireframe of a heavy website until it loads.

Resulting in web elements bouncing around and changing wholesale as the site loads? Hitting the wrong button as some UI element loads late is already a painful UX stubbed toe as it is.
