Render like BigPipe for better perceived performance
@sytses mentioned this article http://buytaert.net/making-drupal-8-fly in Slack. This article mentions A "Facebook BigPipe" render pipeline. This does the following.
- Renders the initial page skeleton for initial perceived performance.
- The browser requests the rest of the page piecemeal.
The goal of this is to make sure that the browser and the server are both working at the same time instead of the browser being stagnant while the server renders and the server being stagnant while the browser renders. We could do this and it would speed up our site tremendously. I do something similar (but not exactly) for the repo editor.
