Ah, I hear you on the onboarding wizard. I did my best to keep it streamlined but understand it's still overwhelming. Hard to balance keeping it light with collecting enough data to provide reasonable recommendations.

The meal plan generation does take a bit, _typically_ it's around 90ish seconds but it does vary a lot. That's odd the images are loading slowly, I'll need to look into that.

You can ask for meal replacements (with or without input instructions) from the meal plan view. The replacements are not particularly snappy though. Trying to balance efficient usage of AI with a snappy UX is tricky.

I'm in the UK, if you're hosting US that's probably part of it, it's easy to forget that mainstream websites have a ton of CDN.

But yeah, they were gradual rendering over 1-2 seconds.

I was on mobile, not sure if you've used responsive image sizing or not as it's a faff to inspect source, but if you haven't it's a game changer for making image heavy websites snappy.

Then again, depends where you're getting the images from, could just be you were getting throttled because you got a bit of a HN hug of death.

Yeah that tracks. I'm currently only hosting out of us-central1 in GCP. Haven't got around to setting up multi-region or a proper CDN yet.
