Atm, the large JS bundle is loaded first, after which the form is loaded (by the js is bundle). Would be ~~very~~ worthwhile to split that up.

MartijnR commented 6 years ago

I think this could be done by:

[ ] changing connection.getFormParts() to a GET request. We may be able to just use a fixed URL (same for every form) and determine the parameters from the origin of the request (so on the server).
[ ] using <link rel="preload"> for the URL in that request
[ ] test all views
[ ] to the same with connection.getInstance()

It will approximately save the time it takes to download the js bundle file (not hugely significant)
