This hand serves no purpose, but I want to post it, so I think ill plonk it here.
Villian check called all streets, quite rapidly, then on the river, there was a fraction of a second delay before the check .

Villain may be thinking about it, yes, but he my just as likely be mulling an awkward decision on another table, a flakey wifi, regging for a new game, not paying attention, or having a quick wee.
As to "quick checks", again, I agree. I often pre-determine that I am going to check for any number of reasons. It does not always signal weakness (or strength) - it just means I am playing this hand a particular way.
Online timing tells are - imo - much over-rated, & it can be dangerous to rely too much on them.
