Documentation website is very slow

[seflless]

hi,

The atom.io website loads pages very slow, is there anything that can be done about that? It makes looking for documentation tedious.

Thanks!

@francoislaberge Do you have any data on this? Like a HAR log? I just tried clean refreshes a few times and, while not fast, it was between 1-2 seconds from start to finish.

I can never get a faster than 2 second load time. Here's my HAR:

Maybe I'm being too first world, but I look stuff up so much that the delay starts to grate. Especially when usually I have to click a few times to get to where I want.

For comparison, see how fast Facebook React's Documentation loads, or any page on their site:
http://facebook.github.io/react/docs/getting-started.html

Thanks for looking into this guys!

This is what I got for https://atom.io/docs/api/v0.199.0/TextEditor: https://gist.github.com/mnquintana/be4fa2c8eee34e5404af

~3 seconds total. Interestingly, even enabling caching only shaved the load time down to ~2.2 seconds.

I have noticed though that atom.io/docs/* seems to feel slow.

I'm seeing lots times on the docs site above 3-4 seconds as well. ⌚ Wish it loaded faster, yeah 👍

As we've moved off of Atlas in #158, this should be fixed.
