With JS, all I got was a blank page with a logo and a spinning animation. Why do sites feel they have to reinvent their own loading screen? (And why have one anyway? It's a static page, it should load fast enough to not need any kind of 'loading' message)
This will work for sites where the text is there in the page on load, but hidden with CSS until some point when JavaScript removes the class doing the hiding - perhaps after an animation has been triggered, or fonts have been loaded, or some other random event you quite possibly don't care about but someone else thought was important (sometimes the so-called "FOUC" or "Flash Of Unstyled Content" is fixed in this way).
However, turning off CSS in order to thwart these sites won't work at all for cases where the actual content itself is pulled in with JavaScript, eg. anything built with Meteor.

With disabled JS, this site is empty.
Why?!

No code review...
If you disable CSS you can read the text. This works on many sites that refuse to load without JS.
This worked for me! I was stuck with just the loading page, even though it had obviously loaded the content. Bug with their Javascript maybe?
Neat trick. I'm going to remember this.

Yeah, so sorry! We modified an existing theme and haven't had the chance to fix that yet. We'll be taking care of that in the coming days!
They paired their HTML and JS.
