Hello! just wanted to flag I'm experiencing a similar issue when saving a query.
Here are some other details:
using a staging database
multipage app
cloud-hosted
Whenever I change a query and hit "save", it will take about 3-5 minutes for the save to actually finish and I'll get a pop up saying that the webpage is slowing down the browser with an option to stop the page.
occurs on both firefox and chrome
seems to only happen when the debug window is open
That's an interesting observation, @apalermo01! Out of curiosity, do you recall or can you describe how complex the app was as a multipage application? The App Size portion of the Performance debugging toll should give you a good summary.
Similarly, @FernandoBeltrann, can you confirm that the unresponsiveness you described took place in a multipage app?
I've just noticed this today in one of our older, non-multipage apps. Things are fine until I open the Debug window, whereupon my CPU gets slammed and the whole page becomes barely responsive.
As soon as I close it, the CPU usage goes back to normal and everything else in Edit mode is fine.
I have a feeling that this might warrant a separate thread spun off from this one, as for me it's not about app start-up time, but just about the Debug window. And because it feels like a more recent performance regression.

The app has 4 pages, 2 of the pages have a tabbed container that each break the view out into two more pages.
I did recently start seeing this in the segmented version of the app as well, but it's nowhere near as bad. I'll put the details on those app sizes here as well. Each app is a Multipage app with 2 pages.

App 3: This is starting to cause issues again. Whenever I have the debug window and I hit "save" on a javascript or sql query, there's a pause of about 10-20 seconds.

We have a decent size multipage app, and recently (maybe in the last 2-3 weeks) the entire app freezes when trying to use the debug console. Sometimes it will load after a lengthy delay (maybe 1-2 minutes) other times we have to refresh the page and keep trying until it loads. Seems to be a newish issue, though, as we previously had no trouble using the debug console on our multi-page app which hasn't changed too much in the last few months.
Thanks all for your insights! Given the more nuanced nature of the issue, I've split this set of posts out into a separate topic and will take a deeper dive into the underlying causes today. I should hopefully be able to provide an update before the end of the week!
I'm happy to share that we identified the primary issue here and rolled out a fix with today's cloud update. Instances running version 3.146.0 or newer should not see the same performance hit when editing with the debug tools open. Please let me know if you can confirm or if you are still seeing issues!
This gives me hope - been having same issue here, but thought it was linked to a recent change in my Linux distro - hopefully not! Does anyone know how to find the Retool cloud version that we are running..?
-- Not to worry - found it. We are still on 3.145.0. Can I force the upgrade at all, or do we just wait until the release gets to us? I assume the latter.
