Production version: chrome network gap

So, I'm running Angular2 app with this awesome seed project (I really like it) and everything is awesome, except 1 thing:

when I moved it to production I noticed that initial load of app is over 2 secs. It is strange because app is really small, 5-6 simple api calls, some lightweight images, really small initial HTML size etc.

I started to investigate where is a problem, maybe some leaks in memory, but no. In Google chrome tools Network tab is showing some strange results:

selection_030

What exactly is that gap over here? I'm new to Angular 2, maybe this is standard behavior? And if so, is it normal that such a small ng2 app loads so long?

Thanks, in advance

I believe that this gap is due to and/or expected for JIT Angular 2 applications. In JIT, a 1-2 second startup pause is expected. If you were using AoT you likely wouldn't see the same behavior, but this starter is JIT by default

@mcescalante Oh, I see. I actually found in Issues that AoT will be added soon.

But for now, how can I integrate this behavior for production? Or it's not so simple to make it work with boilerplate?
