Since the original post (July 2023) we have made significant improvements to page load times. Page load times are about 50% faster since then! Retool continues to get faster over time because we are heavily invested in improving the product experience for our users.
I just tested a simple empty app on Retool Cloud and it loads in about 0.75 seconds on my 2020 MacBook Pro.
Please troubleshoot your network, 6-7s is anomalously high and seems more like an issue with the network.
Two tests that might be useful to run as a next step:
- Network speed test: https://www.speedtest.net/
- Computer speed test: Speedometer 3.0
Best,
