Adalo loading slowly - causing bugs

[CharlotteKalda]

I have an app which has 27 screens. It includes log in, some written content and 4 audio files. There are a few photos but I optimised each one before uploading.

The most complex part of the app is the community forum. Users can create comments, reply to comments and like comments and replies.

I’m starting to experience weird lags when I review the liking replying commenting. Is there any way of preventing this? At the moment I’m just in my own preview (on Firefox) - will this continue on user’s mobile phones?

Do any of your custom lists have “sometimes visible” enabled? If so disable that, this seems to be a bug in adalo.

Yes I have been using ‘sometimes visible’ so I’ll try that

Hi @CharlotteKalda

Scaling Up: Prioritizing Performance on Adalo

I really do appreciate this response @David! I want to encourage your entire team that you’re building something with MASSIVE opportunity here and growing pains are a good sign. It means people need your solution!

But until the Adalo Team improve the performance we can avoid with some tips and tricks.

Do’s and Don’ts for app speed

I’ve heard a few people mention speed and page load times as a concern. Was curious if any of the veterans had advice on ways to make sure my app is fast! What are some best practices to implement when designing with page load speed in mind? What are some pitfalls to avoid or the usual suspects when it comes to slow speed? Example thoughts: Screens: Is it better to have more screens and less data/filtering per screen? For example… should I have different pages for different users instead o…

And @CharlotteKalda If you are using a custom list enable that load items as user scrolls if there are so many items in that list. That will also help you.

Thank you
