How can I fix Gmail URL search queries being extremely slow compared to regular searches?

When I use Gmail search the regular way, by loading the main Gmail website and then typing a query into the search box at the top, the whole process takes at most a few seconds of loading, disregarding the time it takes to type in the query (e.g. if I copy-paste it into the search bar).

But when I open a Gmail URL which contains a search query in it, such as

https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#search/from%3A{sample.email%40gmail.com}+OR+to%3A{other.email%40gmail.com}+OR+"cookie+monster",

the email screen takes up to 15-40 seconds to load, and then displays a broken-looking loading frame near the top of the screen that never goes away. For example, if you click that link, it'll take an awfully long time to load compared to just opening Gmail directly and pasting the search query into the top (from:{sample.email@gmail.com} OR to:{other.email@gmail.com} OR "cookie monster")

This appears to have been an occurrence since July 2019, but with unfortunately few other people reporting it.

What are some potential ways to address this issue and continue to be able to open search query links?
