Hi. I hosted a simple -angular 2- project to firebase and it's loading time is -at least 10- seconds everytime. So i created an empty project with angular cli and uploaded it to firebase. There is nothing in project just default cli template. It's slow also. As example: https://kuleli-150.firebaseapp.com/
Is it about my country (Turkey) or Firebase i can't figure out. Any idea?

It looks like most of the time is spent loading images. Also, some of the images are being returned with text/html as the content type rather than jpeg for some reason.
If you think this is Firebase-related, I’d recommend that you simplify the app and create an mcve demonstrating this without all the extra interference.
You can turn on debug logging to see exactly how and when the various Firebase events transpire:
JS: firebase.database().enableLogging(true);
iOS: [FIRDatabase setLoggingEnabled:YES];
Android: FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().setLogLevel(Logger.Level.DEBUG);
I hope that helps!

The site is making 914 requests on page load -- that's a lot. It's loading in ~4.5s for me. Firebase Hosting currently doesn't support HTTP/2 (we're working on it), which means that you're going to be much better off consolidating assets into a bundled package.
As for geography, you can look at Fastly's network map to get an idea of where edge locations are.

+1 to what has been said above. The main issue here is that there are too many resources to load. There seem to be hundreds of JS files and hundreds of image. Bundeling these together into larger files will improve things heavily. A few things you could look into are (with random examples of build tools that can help you with that but really you should search for what best fits into your build tooling pipeline) :
- Concatenate JS files: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/301442/how-do-i-concatenate-javascript-files-into-one-file or https://www.npmjs.com/package/gulp-concat (if you'd like to use Gulp)
- Minify JS files: https://www.npmjs.com/package/uglify-js
As for the hundreds of image that are loading, maybe you should consider not loading the entire list of names/photos but instead having some type of infinite scrolling.
Cheers!

This also seems to have the same problem of having a ton of different JS files that are all fairly small (<2KB). it appears that most of them are coming from /vendor/@angular which makes sense if you're making an Angular2 app. As the others have said you would probably see dramatic improvements in loading time if you bundled all of these into a single JS file instead of all of the individual ones, as most of the time is spent stalled waiting for threads to free up from downloading other files.

At least i understood it's about Angular (packages) and Me (photos) not Firebase. Thank you all.
