Angular is a powerful all-in-one JavaScript Framework and therefore a common choice for Enterprise applications. But many developers complain that Angular is too slow compared to more lightweight UI-only Frameworks like Svelte, React, or Vue. With Ivy, the Angular team improved the speed and reduced the generated bundle size, allowing to load Angular applications much faster. But you can optimize a lot more, allowing you to reduce the perceived waiting time for website users. This talk will give you some insights into the bootstrapping process of an Angular application and provide you with some ideas on how to load data or configuration upfront. Usability improvements using shimmer animations or parallel backend requests can mask slow data fetching. Tips and tricks for loading animations and caching strategies will be explained.
