Web app very slow

Need help
1

Hi everyone,

I’m currently creating a new app with Bubble and I’m using the Free plan.

I’ve noticed that my app is very slow to load the home page. In addition, I’m using a camera component to take photos, and it’s also extremely slow.

When I take a picture:

  • sometimes the image doesn’t load at all;
  • sometimes I have to wait several minutes before the photo appears.

I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced these issues.

Could this be related to the fact that I’m using the Free plan, or is there something else I should check?

Thank you very much for your help!

could probably be the way you structured your workflows

is it only on a particular page the app is slow?

I don’t think the Free plan by itself would make the app that slow. I’d first check what happens in the Network tab of your browser and whether the delay is during image upload or page loading. Also, if the home page is running several searches or workflows when it opens, that can make the whole app feel much slower than expected.

I used a template and customized it. Here’s the link to the home page: Secondhand platform

If you tried to dd a product, you will see that it is very very slow.

Thanks a lot for your help.

How many workload units get consummed on page load?

can you post a screenshot of the workflow related to the camera?

Another point: I suggest checking which data is being loaded on the front end.

I had this same issue when I started working with Bubble.

One of my apps used several charts, and some of them were running searches across the entire database. I started using custom states with already-filtered data for the relevant pages, and that made the app significantly faster.

You may also want to check whether any repeating groups, charts, or dropdowns are performing heavy database searches directly on page load using the debug mode.
