How can i improve first page load speed? The biggest file is the app.js at about 2.5mb. I have this gziped down to ~500k which is still pretty big. On a normal 3G connection it still taken 4-5 seconds to load the first time. Is this to be expected? Or am i missing something? Are there some tools or configurations that will work well with angular-fullstack that can help speed this up? Thanks!

Contributor guide

Research direction
Implement lazy loading for Angular modules and enable code splitting in webpack to reduce initial bundle size. Use webpack bundle analyzer to identify large dependencies, then apply techniques like tree shaking and compression.
