Heavy editors and background tools now load only when needed

The public roadmap got a meaningful speed boost by holding back the heaviest pieces until they're actually required.

The rich-text editor used for writing posts and comments is a large component, and it was loading on pages where nobody was writing anything. We now bring it in only when you click to create a post or open a comment box. The same goes for the sign-in and sign-up forms, which used to load their validation and account code on every roadmap page even while the dialog sat closed.

We also pushed our background error-monitoring tool to start later, after the page is fully usable, so it no longer competes with the content during those critical first seconds.

  • The editor (~370 KB) loads on demand, not on arrival
  • Sign-in code (~220 KB) waits until you open the dialog

Put together, anonymous visitors reach a responsive page much sooner.
