It’s slow. Why make a user make multiple round trips to fetch the page’s data versus serving it online?

Spinners stink.

That's just because the REST API that serves the requests was poorly implemented. Most SPAs on the web don't even bother including spinners.

Any decent SPA is serving the content in the initial request and not showing a spinner after it downloads the JS
