Description

Just making this metatask to track performance issues and notes.

  • The HTML for the Reference page is quite large. The text compression on GH Pages server handles this for the most part but flagging here in case the platform is ever switched.
  • CodeEmbeds appear to be loading their p5 scripts in parallel and in my browser the cache isn't catching
  • As expected there is a significant loading state on the search results page. Layout placeholders should be used to mitigate dramatic shift
