It did not load from the first try for me.

Than it take some time to load from the second attempt.

A really awful blue background.

The quote from the site:

“We accept that members in more fortunate circumstances may feel
that a site with a 16-colour palette and an optimal screen resolution
 of 640 x 200 pixels is not the best fit for their needs but we urge
such members to keep the greater good in mind. The vast majority of
potential new Gentoo Linux users are still using IBM XT computers,
storing their information on 5.25-inch floppy disks and communicating
via dial-up BBS,” said Roy Bamford (neddyseagoon), a Foundation trustee.

Oh, my God! I really hope that it is the 1 April joke.

"The second phase of the project to get Gentoo Linux to a wider user
base will involve the creation of floppy disk sets containing a compact
version of the operating system and a selection of software essentials.
It is estimated that sets could be created using less than 700 disks
each and sponsorship is currently being sought."

Well, probably, it is.
