both the editor and front end super super slow
my internet 60 up and down 3ms ping
not bothering with a bug report. just letting others know it’s not just their bubble instance with slow response.
getting timeout in editor regularly
done a hard refresh several times - same issues
seems to be a bubble server issue since other media heavy sites load instantly (I can watch netflix in 4k and upload a large video file to youtube with no issues yet bubble editor is barely responsive)
@fede.bubble I’ve sent you a 20 minute loom of me working in the editor today - it is absolutely impossible and a complete waste of time to try and get anything done. In the loom you can see about 8 different bugs in the space of that 20 minutes - hopefully that gives you what you need to debug and fix some of these issues.
Something that used to take me 5-10 minutes I can’t even do in 60 minutes now.
Same machine. Same internet. Same bubble app. Completely laggy, memory hogging and broken editor.
I do not get these issues on other websites/platforms. I have tested them concurrently with the bubble editor and it is only the bubble editor with issues.
Hard Restart Fixed My Slow Bubble Editor (Fake Shutdown Warning)
One thing I noticed from reviewing my Loom was that Task Manager showed my laptop had been online for 14 days straight. At first, I thought it said 14 hours, but it was actually 14 days.
This was odd because I always shut down my laptop after work and even when stepping out for lunch. Turns out, Windows 10’s “Fast Startup” feature is to blame. It makes a shutdown behave more like sleep — meaning your system RAM, cache, and other processes never fully reset.
After reading a forum post, I did a hard restart (not a shutdown), and it instantly sped up the Bubble editor. What was previously a 10-second lag for every mouse click became a fast and responsive interaction again. The many known editor bugs are still there, but at least the editor is not crashing constantly now.
Key takeaway: Restarting Chrome or closing tabs doesn’t fix Bubble’s memory issues. A hard restart of your computer might.
Yesterday, after the hard restart, I was able to work for 6 hours straight without a single editor memory crash. Fingers crossed this continues because previously the editor was crashing multiple times an hour making it practically unusable, super unproductive and extremely frustrating.
I’ve now scheduled a daily hard restart at 4 a.m. via a Windows task to force the system to reset properly.
Hope this helps anyone else dealing with a sluggish Bubble editor!
@fede — Since the Bubble editor crashing issue affects many users, it might be worth creating a debugging guide that can be shared with anyone reporting editor crashes.
Even better would be a notification directly in the Bubble editor: if a crash is detected, show a message with a link to the memory debugging guide. That way, users are immediately guided toward potential solutions and don’t need to submit a bug.
The solution was short lived.
It worked but after about 6 hours of editing you get bubble memory issues and crashing again and you have to restart your machine…
Clearly something is wrong with bubble editor since it’s the only app with issues. I can work in other platforms all day long without having them crash on me constantly. It’s been about 6 hours since my last restart and now the editor is crashing regularly again - the crashes are getting more frequent as time goes by.
I have done some very heavy searches and jumped across the pages and reuseables so I guess I’ve bloated up the editor memory and the only way to effectively clear it is to restart the whole computer.
At least I can get about 4-6 hours of decent work done again I guess.
After a fresh restart it is zippy again… BUT not even 5 minutes in and I’ve already had to refresh the page twice to fix 2 bubble bugs just so I can keep working.
