angular configure hot reload / live reload for speed

Question

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.

Using aot increased the hot reload time in my case. ng serve --aot – Skerrick
