Loads slowly #330

Closed mwillihooper closed 3 years ago

mwillihooper commented 4 years ago

I know there's a lot to load, but is there any way to make it load faster? One of the new faculty mentioned the slow loading in their feedback.

Were they commenting on the search results? Or the main page?

Search results--when you're doing or modifying a search. I've been noticing with patrons (and myself) that sometimes we don't notice the blue loading bar below the purple and keep hitting search again. Is there a way to make it very obvious that it's loading?

sandbergja commented 3 years ago

After performance improvements in both the code and the production environment, the search results page is taking 2-3 seconds to load for me today. Roughly 1 second of that is waiting for results from Ebsco. Some improvements remain to be done in the 1-2 seconds that FindIt can directly control; I will track those on their own tickets.

I will push a change to make the loading bar more noticeable shortly, and then close this ticket.
