Takes way to long to load if it has not been linked to the backend yet

[cdrage]

When you first install the frontend, it takes way too long to load on first visiting the site as it's timing out trying to access the backend.

See:

frontend@0.1.0 start /project
> react-scripts start

The timeout for trying to access port :8080 of the backend should be much quicker / 5 seconds, rather than the current 20+ seconds it takes.
