How do I optimize performance in Bubble apps when handling large repeating groups or large datasets?

When my Bubble app needs to show a lot of items (like a big product list), it becomes slow. How can I make it run faster and load those lists efficiently?

To improve performance when displaying large lists, you can:

  • Use pagination or infinite scrolling to load items in chunks.

  • Display only the necessary fields and avoid fetching all data at once.

  • Enable “optimized for speed” in searches and simplify constraints.

  • Leverage option sets or external databases for static data.

  • Cache data with custom states to prevent repeated fetching.

  • Lazy load images with placeholders or lower-resolution versions.

  • Offload heavy processing to backend workflows.

These optimizations will make your app load faster and keep long lists smooth without freezing.

I hope this works for you.
