Anyone else having a very slow editor on a large app?

Anyone else having a very slow editor today? Can’t get anything done. Already closed browser many times to reset it, that normally solves the problem. This seems to persist despite the restarts.

Same usually solve by closing browser, cleaning cache seems to help too :slight_smile:

It happened when the app is all designed on the same page, sadly. That’s why I split into multi-pages. It’s faster to load the app and the editor is faster too. Web or App take some 4-5 seconds between loading pages, but it’s acceptable and better than trying to load 50 meg of data on iOS or Android for an app. It will be good to know what is acceptable before creating any project.

But it’s not just loading a page. Just editing some conditional formatting takes forever. It’s really frustrating. Should take a few minutes but takes me an hour to get something done. The downfall of being completely online I guess?

Just sometimes the editor is fine, normal speed. Then sometimes it gets to be a snail :snail:. If I’m on a dedicated plan would it fix this?

Upping your plan won’t help. Installing more ram likely would. When your edit session starts to crawl, you’re running out of memory. You’re also close to (on Chrome) getting the “crapped out / dead page / :skull_and_crossbones:“ error and at risk of losing an edit.

Reload your edit session and/or restart your browser (or entire machine) more frequently.

Modern OS’s encourage us to hard reboot our machines only rarely, but I find that if I suspend my Win 10 machine overnite and then pick up editing a Bubble page loaded in my browser from yesterday, it’ll crap out after an hour or two.

If you have sophisticated pages that, you know, don’t show anything by default (because Privacy Rules), reloading the editor is a pain as you have to explicitly show hideable groups from the tree.

One change bubble could make that would make people not bitch so much about editor speed is to have an option for “auto show this group in edit mode” to avoid having to make essential components visible.

I know why folks don’t refresh their editor tabs. It’s because it can take 10 - 30 seconds to go and restore your page to showing anything you need to work on (also, freaking tiny hide/show icon — makes my wrist hurt just thinking about it).

But basically, I’ve taken to refreshing complex pages every now and then to keep from having them die unexpectedly.

It’s also tempting (and convenient) to have a bajillion tabs open while Bubbling. Close extraneous junk you’re not using and get your memory back.

Have you tried on an external remote computer? I always test on another computer and different network, and as said Keith, it can be your machine or the network.
