Is your feature request related to a problem? What is the motivation for implementing this feature?

Proposal & Constraints

What is the proposed solution/implementation? Is there a precedent for this approach succeeding elsewhere?

I am not aware of the internal reason for page rendering being slow, but one thing that can certainly be fixed here is the loader icon which feels like as if it takes forever to load.

Which suggestions or requirements should be considered for how this feature needs to appear or be implemented?

Instead of using a loading spinner, css based skeleton loaders can be added. Although the page load times will be same, but its impact on the end user experience will be different ()
