Nothing in the page is rendered until all inline scripts are executed. One workaround is to kickoff the execution of your inline scripts through setTimeout - this will allow the page to render. In this example a the 5 second while loop is wrapped in a function and called via setTimeout, so the page renders quickly while the inline script executes in the background.Now: 1750841779
