I'm using Angular 5.
The hot reload takes about 8 secs which is reasonable (not great though) but is there any way to configure it so I can tweak it to make it faster?
Concerned it will get even slower as the app grows. Thanks.
Try to compile with Ahead-of-Time option
Angular Doc: With AOT, the browser downloads a pre-compiled version of the application. The browser loads executable code so it can render the application immediately, without waiting to compile the app first.
