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!

Research direction
Investigate the build configuration in the generator to identify how the app.js bundle is created. Look for webpack or similar bundler settings that could enable code splitting, lazy loading, or tree shaking. Review any existing documentation or comments in the repository about performance optimization. Consider testing different minification and compression strategies to reduce bundle size.
