Description

Hey there,

I'm not sure if I'm the only one who encounters the issue but I've noticed that the Glance takes ~5 seconds to load from time to time. I've testing so far which widget can cause such a long time to load, but I couldn't find which one it is. Let's say, I have weather, RSS and Twitch widgets, from time to time it takes long to open the page. I've tried to delete them one by one but apparently I've to remove all of them to make it instant to open. Call me crazy but it feels like there is some constant time that show the loading icon when there is any widget like Weather, RSS, Twitch or something that requires an external access.

I know there is a caching option, but I'm wondering is there any option to load components independently. So we could show bookmarks that are static and load in background the rest.

But as I said, I didn't saw any issue regarding this so maybe I'm the only one who experiences this.

The first open of the Glance after restart is always slow, that's obvious, the next ones are super quick, but after the cache expires I have to again wait ~5 seconds to see my bookmarks. For now, I've just moved all widgets like RSS, to another page, so I can have a fast access to bookmarks.
