Troubleshooting Steps Taken
Tried accessing the page on numerous devices, and it seems to only affect iPhones.
Devices tried with issue: iPhone 12 Pro (iOS 18.5), iPhone XS (iOS 16.7), iPhone 13 (unknown version) Devices tried with no issue: Pixel 3a, iPad 10th Generation, Chrome on Windows
The same issue persists on Chrome browser on iPhone, unlikely a browser issue. Have tested using a friend's iPhone 13 as well, so it is unlikely a result of other apps on my phone interfering.
However, when I try another report with less data, it successfully loads.

When I open Chrome DevTools it shows a memory consumption of around 354MB, and there seems to be reports online suggesting Safari on iOS limits memory usage to around 200-400MB.
Screenshot:
When I run Console on macOS for my iPhone, I managed to find the error Process MobileSafari [49996] killed by jetsam reason per-process-limit when Safari crashes after freezing at the loading page for a few minutes.
My guess is that it could be because the report size is large, and perhaps iOS limits system resources when loading web pages. If this is indeed the case, then perhaps a feature to lazy load the report data on mobile could be implemented.
