I may be pointing out something you already know, but I would first and foremost focus on trying to reduce the number of repeating groups. They are generally the most resource hogging element you can add to a Bubble app (because of the nature of databases, not because of Bubble), so keeping them to a minimum is always quicker.

I’m not sure I fully understood your question, but I’m interpreting that you have 11 different RG’s, and that you only show one at a time. As you make a new group visible, it must load “from scratch”, making your app slow.

Loading an invisible RG (or pre-loading it if you will) is not supported in Bubble as we speak, although you can detect if a visible RG is loading or not, and make a more user friendly graphical interface to show the loading.

Also, you can change an RG’s data source through a Workflow or Condition. Using only one group might speed it up a bit and save some RAM, but it will still have to load each source separately.

Let me know if you want some more details on those two points, or if I’m misinterpreting your post 🙂

I’m still not sure what you mean, your app speed seems pretty good to me? Do you that you want to load all the data into the _same_ repeating group (changing the data), instead of using 11 separate groups?

thanks, but change data cannot change type of repeating group. and i just add 15 items, you can see more detail in this video. my app is not smooth. i try reset group, collapse when hidden, clear list rep group, set data empty… but nothing help to kill process when hidden, maybe when rep group hidden, it still call to database

Hi again

For the repeating groups, but there will always be some loading time. I’d love to help more, but it’s hard without knowing a lot more specifics. To use best practice for speedy loading, I recommend really studying this thread, it explains a lot on how Bubble loads and writes data, and how you can use it efficiently: [Performance Q&A guide](http://forum.bubble.io/t/performance-q-a-guide/12140/68)

For the changed URL parameters, this article should get you started: [https://bubble.io/reference#Elements.Link.add\_parameters](https://bubble.io/reference#Elements.Link.add_parameters)
