Apps Running Slow

I have a few apps that I’ve built years ago and they haven’t had any issues until now. Over the past few days, I’ve noticed there is a considerable lag on all of the pages (and I haven’t added anything new to them in months).

It’s not just queries timing out but taking 10+ seconds for an app page to load, not staying loaded when I switch between tabs, the cursor taking 5+ seconds to change icon when I hover over a button etc. It’s not just me but also end users who are experiencing this issue.

Has anyone else noticed this or is it just something in my apps?

Hey @Nick01, Nick, thanks for reporting this! Are you on Retool Cloud or self-hosted? If self-hosted, what version are you running?

In the meantime, these two guides cover the most common causes, start with checking your query count and payload sizes in the Query Timeline (Debug toolbar at the bottom of the app), since those are usually the main culprits for the kind of slowness you're describing:

Let me know what you find from the list of best practices! :folded_hands:

Hi @ChiEn , I’m using Retool Cloud. I’ll check out the articles you provided and let you know.

Okay, looks like it doing a lot better today. Turning off efficiency mode on my browser seemed to help a lot.
