Introducing Discourse Splash - A visual preloader displayed while site assets load

Super this now appears to be working as expected!

Thanks for such diligence. :1st_place_medal:

Thanks for that update. It made a huge difference in Core Web Vitals, and everything is in the green now.

I have also enabled this option in my settings, but I don’t see it?

That is only good thing. If you’ll see it, it means something is starting too slowly. But you can throttle your browser if you like to see Splash in action.

Oh, then I guess I will never see it, its running locally and I use web socket.

I’m seeing the white flash again as well. My current configuration is dark mode on iPhone and a dark theme on the Discourse communities I’m seeing this on.

I can’t see it anymore here on meta, am I the only one?

I can’t say. It depends of speed of server, connections and internet so I see it rarely anyway. The thumb of rule is seeing the spash is never a good thing and is there only for googlebot :wink:

Honestly, when I first saw this update a while back, I was surprised. Quite the amazing update even though I’m a year late :stuck_out_tongue:
