No UI guarding against dweb.link 504 Gateway Time-out

[bam80]

I've uploaded a file but eventually got error above by opening the link:

Is it works at all?
FF 85.0

It sounds like you closed the tab before the file got propagated to public gateways.
Can you repeat the test?

[bam80]

No I didn't close the tab.
However, it works now.

Are there some logs left somewhere so we could debug why it didn't work yesterday?

Now I'm trying another file and got the same result - the link opening endlessly:

I think it could be a public gateway being overloaded at the moment.

You can take a look at browser Console or Network tab and see if preload call finished successfully (requests to *.preload.ipfs.io). If this fails or takes long time, dweb.link won't be able to find a provider for the data.

Usually its fast enough to not worry about it, but may get problematic on slow connections.

I think we could provide some UI that indicates the status of preload + tests availability at dweb.link via (HTTP HEAD request for each file) and until it is confirmed make those UI elements inactive.

I don't have bandwidth for this, but PR welcome.
