[Feature]: Only load the html for the route about shiny.router HOT 2 OPEN

I have an issue with deploying a shiny app on a domain that is protected by a load balancer.
I read that this might be because shiny.router is hash based rather than path based.

Will this solve that issue or is there something else that i should consider?

@jmaagdenbergSB Unfortunately not, the solution would still be hash-based.

@dawiegriesel The approach you've taken was used previously in shiny.router but was changed to the current one with version 0.2.0 (see #75).
From the performance perspective indeed we could spare resources by rendering active route page only, on the other hand the page needs to be rerendered from scratch every time we open it which is also time and resources consuming (along with a few other issues which were solved by the new approach, see attached PR for more details).
If you want to prevent rendering inactive pages you could easily define css:

.router-hidden {
  display: none;
}

Shiny by default prevents from rendering elements that have display: none css property set, so I think this is the best approach to use in your case.
