Performance (speed up initial loading time)

[edwinjue]

Overview

To improve user experience, we should try to get the site loaded as quickly as possible.

With that said, we can try the following, but are not limited to:

• Load less data (a subset of huggingface data
• Try to load partial data from github and the remaining in the background from huggingface
  • We may need to create new cron job scripts and utilize a loaded event handler to kick off second data fetch

Action Items

• Test performance loading map page first
• Test performance loading dashboard page first
