Ok, it might be worth redeploying using "grunt release", as it decreases
the size of the css and js.

Mostly the fetching of the data.json file, it will now wait 4 (rather
than 3) seconds before aborting a request, and it will now only retry
fetching the data.json file after 5 seconds (rather than 1 second) if it
fails.

Yeah, that sounds like something worth considering. The other thing to
note, is currently the request includes the current time as a parameter
(to prevent caching). I added this as I wanted to get the file from the
server during development, but I am unsure what effect it will have for
standard users.
