As described in the title, basically you get flashes of white sometimes which is annoying.

Reproduction:

Go to the news page
Open the network inspector and disable page cache
Go to the events page
See that when the events page was loaded, the page went white temporarily. If it doesn't happen, try keep switching between the news and events pages

I think if you put some JS at the top of the page itself it would be better, not sure how it works currently and if it first has to wait to load in external css/js
