I am so curious as to what setup causes these horrific load times. I never, never have performance issues like these with Jira Cloud. A "slow" load for me is about 4 seconds, normally cards open in a second or two.
But in addition to that, 1-3 seconds per click is horrible imo. I have to literally pause, and slow down my workflow, because every input (navigation click) takes 1-3 seconds to load? That sort of delay starts to drag on users, imo.
Wasn't JS based UI's supposed to _lighten_ the load? Make web pages faster because they could just ask for the data that changed? This feels like such a massive step backward from simple HTML, like HN.
1-3 seconds being good, or even okay, is abysmal to me. Especially when the full page isn't needed, just a handful of data. Something is fundamentally broken with this version of the "modern web". And i say that as a web developer who loves complex frontend technologies. But to me if the user isn't getting a faster response, the frontend tech would be better off as plain HTML.
I used to manage an on-prem Jira installation at $OLD_JOB, the amount of network traffic that the page to view an issue does is absurd. If you have a speedy connection or most of the page cached you won't notice, but switch to slower connections or a congested enterprise VPN and it's painfully slow. Open the browser's toolbox, disable the cache and reload. See for yourself.
