Not a website, but a 30+MB app that could easily have been replaced with a <10k website…
To pay for your parking, you have to enter the parking lot number, your cars’ tags, and CC data. So far, so good.
But they also require an email address and a phone number. They want to confirm that email address, and they check whether the number is a valid UK telephone number. And no, you simply cannot enter an international prefix. Which meant that I as a tourist could not pay for the parking lot at the hotel.
I used to put my photos on DeviantArt, I had an account for ~20 years on that site, and it got slower and worse over time, finally I just had enough and deleted my account and built a simple HTML menu and exported galleries from DigiKam and put on a personal webhost, it is far, far, far faster than any big social media image sharing platform, and it looks retro and cool.

I have also got myself a Pixelfed account:

It loads faster than dA did and is easy to use.
