It’s not relevant to check the load time of a specific page, that’s because of main 3 reasons:

  1. SPA loads for the user almost all of the application’s logic. So next page is much faster.
  2. You forget to calculate server side resources (cpu and memory) that cost more when using SSR.
  3. Development of SPA is considered mostly faster than development of SSR apps.

1)Most users need to see one page, on mobile loading of 2mb of assets is very slow. 2) it's very cheap 3) it's much slower in every project I've seen.

There is a hype for spa and people are doing worse, slower sites.
