Hi I used GWT Lightweight Metrics in several of my projects. The progress looks real and gives some idea to a user how long he has to wait.
More info here: http://www.gwtproject.org/doc/latest/DevGuideLightweightMetrics.html Basically you have to put static script before nocache.js file that registers for metric events and from it updates the length of the progress bar. Most of the time I just counted the amount of events required to show the actual app (I used a splash div with progress bar which hides the app until it's ready) including bootstrap and rpc events and used it as total amount for progress bar. The drawback is, there are only 2 events fired when GWT loads scripts from gwt.xml. If you load big js libraries let me know so I can post a workaround for that :) Greg On Tuesday, October 27, 2015 at 7:26:33 PM UTC+1, Vassilis Virvilis wrote: > > As I said check that the content you serve is compressed. > > One other idea that pops to mind is the browser's developer's tools net > tab to make sure that the problem is indeed in the loading of resources. > Maybe you can identify a problematic resource?
