Blank/White screen when refreshing browser

[michael_pang4]

Hi All,

When Fiori loads, or when a user clicks on refresh (or press F5), we see a blank/white screen for about 2 seconds, before the Fiori spinning flower shows up. The Fiori app eventually loads seconds later.

The blanks screen stays even longer when the network is slow.

We are trying to avoid this blank screen as it is poor user experience.

We were wondering if there is anything we could do to make this more seamless to the user.

Cheers

Michael.

I too have this issue. This is because Fiori spinning flower is loaded by a call to loader.js (check in your network tab). Before calling this file there are couple of REST calls (startup and Pagesets) happening which take up most of the time (around 2 seconds). I feel SAP could have moved these calls after loader.js, thus FIori spinner would appear much earlier. You may raise it to SAP, or customize the Launchpad to have a lightweight custom spinning wheel.
