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

Super this now appears to be working as expected!

Thanks for such diligence.

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?

[Jagster (Jakke Flemming)]

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.

[Marcell_Csendes]

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

The white flash is back with a vengeance on beta14

Not seeing this:

By design we wait 2-3 seconds

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?

[Jagster (Jakke Flemming)]

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

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