Materialdesign: materialdesignicons.com website slow to load

[SimonFricker]

The MaterialDesignIcons project has grown so much, there are so many icons!

This is fantastic however when a user navigates to materialdesignicons.com the site attempts to load and render all icons. This causes a lot of lag for the site.

Please consider dynamically loading the content as the user scrolls or to only allow for search.

It's dead slow recently! As a workaround, I use this to search for icons

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Templarian/MaterialDesign/master/meta.json | grep $ICON_NAME

Come on people, it's like you're not even trying anymore. We're painfully aware and @Templarian is working very hard on a new site. Patience.

Your workaround should be using one of the official Chrome or Firefox extensions: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/materialdesignicons-picke/edjaedpifkihpjkcgknfokmibkoafhme

Cool! I didn't even know this exists! Thanks man.

@SimonFricker / @jinjie Due to the amount of features on the current site and our stats show they get used tens of thousands of times a day, so re-releasing without those features while faster would not benefit a lot of those users.

The new site will load in ~3sec on first load and ~1sec on the next loading. We can't wait to show more. It will also work butter smooth on mobile (even if we add 10k or 20k icons).
