| Description | There is a very long load time for images being loaded.
I think adding a page loading indicator would be a good idea so the end user isn't clicking while loading images . |
| Steps to reproduce | Go to edit theme images I noticed the page is loading icons and it does take a moment for it to complete if you have or are dealing with a lot of themes being created this causes the delay. You can't see the page is still loading unless you notice up at the browser bar indicating its still ongoing. Users not aware will be clicking expecting the drop down display of the images under the selected item. |

Is it the images themselves (thumbs) taking a while to load on the page... or is it the actual theme image entry boxes taking a while to load / appear in the drop downs?
If the clickable box loads quickly, then I don't think it's a big deal the image / thumb itself takes a while. There's no harm early-clicking something aside from the higher possibility you'd click the wrong thing. But I think the idea of allowing users to interact on a page as soon as possible (a web standard that affects SEO rankings) trumps that caveat.
If the boxes themselves are taking a while to load and therefore you physically cannot click to edit said theme image until it loads, that's definitely a problem.
I added lazy loading to the theme images. There's really no reason to load all of the images right away, plus it was delaying the deferred JavaScript by doing so. This should speed things up significantly. Please let me know if it works.
