Okay so we all know that the best way to script loading screen is, getting all descendants of the game and preloading instances with ContentProvider. But I have a few questions in my head?

Question 1: when we are getting all descendants of the game, like this.

local assets  = #game:GetDescendants()
print(assets)
-- Output: 1000-1500

its giving a incomplete result, if we do this and if our game has, assets, models, map etc

if (not game:IsLoaded()) then
	game.Loaded:Wait()
end

local assets  = #game:GetDescendants()
print(assets)
-- Output: 4000-5000

so which one we should use it? i looked other scripters code. and the all of them using is first way(without waiting the game loads).

Question 2: Should we preload each instances in a loop or it should be loaded just once?

Which one it should be?

1:

local ContentProvider = game:GetService("ContentProvider")

local allAssets = nil  --all assets here

for _,v in allAssets do
	ContentProvider:PreloadAsync({v})
end

2:

local ContentProvider = game:GetService("ContentProvider")

local allAssets = nil  --all assets here

ContentProvider:PreloadAsync(allAssets)

To be honest I have never made a loading screen work based off of how many assets there are. I just do it based off of fps and server ping so I can load all the player and character added events before they can do anything
