When I load VE on [[en:Gosford]], the following API requests are made:
For a total of five API requests. Couldn't the VisualEditor API module expose an endpoint that combines this metadata into a single response?
| Status | Subtype | Assigned | Task | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Resolved | Catrope | T78628 Combine API requests required to load VE | |||
| Resolved | Krenair | T78642 LinkCache prepopulation in ApiVisualEditor should include page being edited | |||
| Resolved | Krenair | T75822 Combine imageinfo requests on load | |||
| Resolved | Catrope | T53569 Reduce number of load.php calls on VisualEditor open (down from 3) |
This is a duplicate of several tickets, and should probably become a tracking ticket. I'll find them and make them all subtasks of this one.
Also it's worth mentioning that only the action=visualeditor request blocks loading VE (which is reasonable because it delivers the Parsoid HTML). The prop=info and imageinfo requests do not block loading.
