This is an interesting issue I am hoping to find a solution to. - When I use the “Sign Up User” action at the beginning of my workflow the entire workflow loads in 12 seconds. - When I remove the “Sign Up User” action from the workflow it loads in 1-2 seconds. - When I place the “Sign Up User” at the end of the workflow it loads in less than 3 seconds. I need to place the “Sign Up User” at the beginning of the workflow, but I do not understand why it is taking 12 seconds to load given the workflow loads in 1-2 second when I remove the “Sign Up User” action. Is this a bug? Are there anyways around this issue? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/5/4/546361cd8111f1be50fc4d2fa64701c4c3781bf6.png) ---

Thanks for outlining your tests so clearly. If the long workflow time is a problem on the front end for the User, you could separate out the workflows eg. workflow 1 is just ‘shows a thing’ and ‘sign up’. workflow 2 is the event ‘when this thing is true’ (eg. thing is visible), do workflow 2, and all the other stuff goes in to that workflow 2. Then while workflow 2 is running, distract the user on the front end with something else. Am following, interested to see if there are any suggestions from other Bubblers. ---

@cowontherun Thanks for the response. You will find this 4th test even more interesting. I separated the workflow into 2 workflows. After the “Sign Up User” action is complete I schedule a custom event to run in .01 seconds that triggers the rest of the workflow from the previous screenshot. The entire workflow including the custom event runs in less than 2 seconds. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/1/0/105d14ef67e7835b0b805a3fe2c42bf9bb704d98.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/6/f/6fb381163e0ebc9d74a0613f19ffba191cf8df64.png) ---

Well that’s valuable info! I edited my reply above to include a suggestion but looks like your schedule an event is the solution. Very interesting. ---

Interesting that Bubble cannot handle putting the 2 together. I have workflows 4 times as long that do not have this run time issue. This has to be a bug. ---

Best would be a bug report for the slow situation with a reproduction case so that our team can look into it, there may be some inefficiency here. ---

Thanks, Emmanuel. I did submit this as a bug report. I put 12 hours in to trying to restructure my workflow and I have not found a fix (besides splitting up the sign up user action into a separate workflow). On a side not that may be related, I am continuously receiving this warning general error, as well. I submitted this report error code as a bug report. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/8/b/8bfe6ed21d0417725d195fb514919a0b31be02b3.png) ---

Guys, I have the same problem… but the delay time for the login is about 23 seconds! I submitted it as bug #7042 but was told by support it wasn’t a bug. I’ve been on vacation since so not taken the time to argue my case. @garet.send, thanks for all your research on this! Best wishes, Antony. ---
