Fix Loading page

Summary:
The existing loading page was not behaving the way it was intended. The previous implementation triggered a page reload which made the whole retry mechanism useless.

Instead, a new endpoint was defined to expose whether the server is ready or not. Use this instead as a way of knowing whether we are good to reload the page.
