Main page has severe performance issues when loading repos

Viewing ibm.github.io results in a complete slowdown of Firefox 46.0.1 and Chrome 51.0.2704.54 on OSX 10.11.5. Loading the repos on the page seems to be causing lots of performance issues.

Not just that, it actually completely freezes the browser when using Palemoon.... Argh.. crash& burn

I've reverted the changes that enumerated all of the strongloop repos individually which is what was causing the performance issues. Working on a site redesign soon.

In #44 I added a progress bar - otherwise, you don't know if the page has finished loading or is just stuck. #52 reverted this because the page slowed to a crawl (sorry about that). Re investigate it?

I reverted because it caused severe performance degradation. I haven't had time to investigate. I would welcome any help in tracking that down, though!

I still find this page is very slow on a modern Firefox (56.0 on Linux).

(Being mindful that I have not at all been involved in the development of this site - but it occurs to me that the repository information doesn't really need to be in real time, and could potentially be generated statically and updated by a bot every so often to avoid all the API calls.)
