Hello Bubblers (Including Founder & Employees),
As we build SaaS platforms, dashboards, marketplaces, and various other web apps, it’s essential that these applications are effectively marketed through SEO. Each of these web apps typically includes a landing page that must be SEO optimized to rank in top positions. Within Bubble, we can manage on-page SEO, improve accessibility, adhere to best practices, and enhance SEO itself. However, page performance is a critical aspect that we cannot improve on our own; it requires action from Bubble.
I’m raising this issue because page performance directly affects website SEO, as illustrated here:
I’ve noticed that the web apps we build on Bubble tend to have poor page performance. When we check the Core Web Vitals, the results are quite concerning.
Here is the image of the Core Web Vitals matrix for my app built on Bubble:
Even my Landing Page
I understand that JavaScript-based web apps are different from static websites. However, I have seen web apps built on other no-code platforms perform much better in terms of page speed(performance).
Therefore, I believe it is crucial for Bubble to focus on improving the page performance speed of web apps built on their platform.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Best regards,
Zamad Shakil

Zamad, i feel you but its not gonna change anytime soon. For a number of reasons the best thing to do is split up a site into a landing page (not on bubble) and the bubble app on a subdomain

So then what’s the issue. If built properly in Bubble page speed isnt too bad and actually is way better than some big time sites (think linkedin). Users are generally willing to allow for a slow page load if its properly handled with spinners etc and there arent too many loads per session.
And if you want a great landing page wordpress is IMO one of the worst.
A lot of dev needed and with the mountains of tech debt and other issues going on there is no way its gonna happen within the next few years (and if it does it will be super buggy with only incremental changes touted as a whole new page - see what the native app thats taking over a year to go to beta is actually gonna provide). Odds are chat gpt will be able to make you a pixel perfect super fast landing page (and set up the dev ops for a tiny fraction of what WP orbubble charges) way b4 bubble allows you to.

Well , that is so sad .Do we have a link or writing that proves this ?
Proves what, that it is too big a technical challenge or that Bubble said it?

You are right, I know that it is too big a technical challenge.
Well Boston I wan’t to know everything and I trust you .But in this case I am asking for bubble officials saying it is hard of a challange and not expected .
I don’t know of any documentation with this statement, but I had a conversation last week with one of the higher ups and I brought the issue into the conversation and that was their response.
