"Feels" qwik to me ;)

Can you share what device or devices you are using? iOS, PC, Tablet, Android... ?

Have you checked your network? That might be the issue 😅

@wanjohiryan it's android tablet, phone, windows linux pc. I have no problem with internet, it's super fast. Problem is that qwik doesn't prefetch components until you interact with them and for big components like menu it does like ~20 requests which of course will be visible slow and if you have a slow internet - it more noticeable. In my opinion it's a major flaw in qwik architecture.

What options do we have to solve this?

• Prefetch component on hover
• Give user ability to define if component should be prefetched (on page load, when it's in view and so on)
• Bundle components data together so that one click on menu button will not trigger 20+ requests to load every single part of it like function separately.
