The first time you visit a dapp, it might download a bit slowly (~10s or so). But after that - the app is downloaded to your device. It loads instantly.

How is that possible? What is going on in the background?

Dappnet is running a local IPFS node on your computer, and torrenting directly from a P2P network. You haven't just visited a website, you've downloaded a dapp. It's yours to keep.
