Primary gripe is the huge and slow-to-load enormophotos of everything, with the result that browsing the site ends up involving vast amounts of scrolling past all the enormophotos. The loading speed has at least got better recently - previously even on a decent broadband connection I'd spent a lot of time looking at grey rectangles as the enormophotos loaded veeerrryyyy sloooowwwlllllyyy.
Embedded videos. Huge, embedded videos. On the landing screen, in particular.
The replacement of the ability to search by collections in the top bar with 'Riding Styles', with products distributed at random through them. For example, the Explore gloves appear under gravel riding, but not bike packing. Apparently the only Rapha gloves suitable for bikepacking are the short-fingered Brevet gloves. Collections is now a tab on the Highlights section, but has at present only three collections, all illustrated with yet more enormophotos, and doesn't include ProTeam, which appears to be under the Road Racing 'Riding Styles' tab. The Riding Styles/Collections distinction is IMV a total mess.
But mostly it's the size of the images. By the time I've navigated the menus, and scrolled and scrolled and scrolled to find the item I want, I've got RSI in my mouse thumbwheel finger and have lost the desire to buy the item I've now found.

Sorry to drop this on a Friday but the refine filters never seem to work admittedly I only use gender and size.

Must have been introduced after I last looked. I try to avoid having to use the current Rapha website, which I find nerve-gratingly awful.
