Slow builds stop developers' productivity cold. If code takes even two minutes to compile, it’s easy to get distracted. You lose your train of thought or, god forbid, open social media.

Do you use the Module Federation plugin in your Angular project? If your project dynamically consumes large federated code chunks from a remote container, you risk having downtime in your remote server or having lags when you navigate between routes. If so, you should use Angular service workers to cache and serve your federated code.

Angular is a robust framework suitable for large codebases and enterprise applications. One significant contributing factor is Angular’s support for TypeScript.

And beyond site rankings, slower loading pages result in a poor user experience, leading to higher bounce rates, lower average time spent on the page, and lower conversions.

The ngrx-forms library is a valuable tool for bringing Redux-style state management to your application’s forms. However, its concept of Value Boxing hides a few pitfalls that can be tricky to troubleshoot.

Learn what Value Boxing is and find out how to parse common error messages and add Value Boxing to your ngrx-forms.

End-to-end tests are meant to simulate a user interacting with your website. Selenium took the approach of building browser plugins that allow tests to interact with the browser, similar to how a user would. Cypress tests run inside the browser with an accompanying Node.js process for observing and controlling the network. This gives Cypress insights into the application's execution that Selenium doesn't have.

While Angular is one of the most widely used frameworks in the world, it has a problem with generating static sites that are performant and search engine optimized.
