I suspect there is a problem with how the page is laid out (or how things are scripted) which is preventing rendering the work in progress layout before the entire page is loaded.

No files or tests are named. Start by profiling the description webview while it loads, focusing on page layout and scripts that may block rendering. Done means the work-in-progress layout appears without the reported 1–2 second delay.
