So as the instructor mentioned Angular will load the static files in the beginning and then make additional requests for data via ajax? But will the initial load time be higher if it has to load all the static files in beginning? So will the traditional websites be loading files when the user makes a new request instead of data? Can anyone clarify a little bit about the though process!
Thanks

Yes, initial load times in client-side apps are on average higher than traditional client/server apps because all of the templates and scripts for them are loaded up front. The trade-off for this approach is traditionally that moving between pages is smoother/faster because there are no page refreshes, as the templates are all client-side, eliminating extra calls to the server, except for additional data.
Hope that helps!

4,541 PointsSo we should go for this single page apps, when we have a clear idea that the client is going to stay much longer in our app. So if the website usage is just get to some info, I think we should not ahead of SAP? Am I correct?
