Performance first load

Most of the time HA opens really quick, but sometimes the “Loading Data” screens shows for about 10 seconds on an RPI4,
not sure what the cause is but it would be great if ha opens fast every time.

This is caused by the amount of data in the page you are loading and the time it takes to get from HA to your web browser.

The first load-up needs to load everything from the remote HA location.

Subsequent loading of the dashboards can make use of data cached in the PC your web browser is running on. So it is faster.

Things you can do to speed it up:

  1. Simpler dashboards. e.g. If you use third party graphs with configurable points per hour - use less points, or split the graphs up over multiple views. Or show a shorter time range.
  2. Faster network speeds
  3. Clear your web browser cache less often.

This should be significantly faster in newer versions
