Data Load Latency...?

[mac2]

Hello Crew!

Curious—is anyone else seeing some slow load times with Repeating Groups and the Bubble database?

I submitted a bug report, but the support team appears to be observing NYD today.

It’s odd because I’m only seeing it in the current app I’m working on—thankfully, not my other live sites. It’s not a cache issue or my device; I’ve tried all the common things to see if it’s just me.

Edit
Alrighty—I’ve narrowed this down to issue with my usage of Bubble’s Rich Text Editor to create/store blogs.

So NOT an issue with the database as a whole. But I’m still not sure why it’s so slow now that I’m storing blogs.

Hey @mac2

I know the frustration. I had the same issue before too. It is most likely because of your photos that you added to the blog posts. Are you uploading your images through the rich text editor?

I had to upload all my images through the picture uploader and then make sure the box is checked to ‘limit image size before upload’.

It makes building a simple blog a lot harder, there might be another way to do it that I might not know about with some code or something.

I had to use a repeating group and insert images and text in-between each other to build the blog in a repeating group instead of one text field. Here is the info in the manual: Blog Apps - Bubble Docs

Let me know if that helps.

Thanks for chiming in @J805! I initially planned to do it as mentioned, adding paragraphs and images to an RG to form a blog.

Then I tried adding images to the RTE and was excited because that made things easier.

If I want to add pictures to the article, I’ll need to go back to plan A. Thanks again, Jason!

No worries. Glad it helped. I wish there was the same option in the RTE as the picture uploader. Would make things a lot easier.
