Has bubble page load speed become too slow recently?

Crickets. It’s concerning. When testing my app on the paid tier I often see 4-10 second page loads.

Same issue here :frowning: Any news on this topic ? Thanks !

Hey Josh, is the cloudflare setup not done automatically on newer apps?

Hello!
I’m new around here.
I’m still playing with several projects in the free version.
But if Bubble.io wants us to pay for a membership, it would make sense for the trial membership to be fast and powerful. Google takes page loading speed very seriously and penalizes slow pages heavily.
There has been no comment on this thread for several months, is it only me who is concerned?

I am having no problems with this.
My pages are loading in something around 2 and 4 seconds.

Anyway, I don’t recommend Bubble to build your webpage. There are a lot of better tools for it (like Wordpress + Elementor), with more plugins, integrations, and customization options (specialty with responsive settings).

When I think in Bubble (opinion), I think in a very powerful tool to build web systems. Not websites. I use WP + Elementor for my site and Bubble to run as my system in a sub domain. Works perfectly.

Hello!
Thank you for your quick response.
Indeed, there are much more efficient tools to build web pages.
But I am testing my projects that require more complex databases and interactions. I think I’m in the right place.
But many of the Bubble showcase projects fail in speed according to Google PageSpeed, with really bad scores. And they are supposed to be well-built applications with Bubble.
If you feel like sharing some of your projects to check the loading speed that would be great.
But this is just a suggestion :stuck_out_tongue:

What I would suggest and what I believe @rpetribu was referring to is to use Webflow, WordPress or another website builder for your landing pages, and non data based/authenticated protected pages and just redirect them to your bubble web app via a redirect or subdomain from that website. Google shouldn’t be indexing your protected web pages anyways unless you are building something that does not require user authentication.

Webflow is the best for seo in my perspective.

I have an app that is mostly all on a single page, and it’s grown with a lot of elements and conditionals. Now, the bubble editor and preview take a very long time to load, ~2 mins, often timing out (the live version seems okay, probably because of a cache of data on the browser). I suppose I can break the groups up into a few pages to speed up time previewing and working in the editor. However, it will take time to do that given all the cross references of elements throughout the app and it will cause a slower user experience with multiple pages. Wondering how everyone has handled this after their app grew?

Cheers

Each group is a single feature set…make a reusable element for each single feature set, and then put the reusable elements onto the single page inside the group as a container for hiding/showing.
