Why is retool lagging

Why does Retool suddenly become very slow when building an app?

I'm building an app, and after just creating 3 queries with references to the database and a couple of tables, Retool becomes really slow.

I've experienced this before when I started using the new tables. When the legacy tables were still there, this wasn't a problem. Everything ran very smoothly. Even when I use my old apps with the legacy table, there's no issue. Now, after a few years, I'm building an app with only the new tables, and everything freezes or you have to wait forever.

I have experienced freezing when refreshing the app and clicking on the debug button located at the bottom right. Are you doing the same?

Otherwise with 3 queries it should not be slow. Are you queries complex and taking time return response?

Hi @MarkH,

Apologies for the slow app times.

Are you still experiencing this issue? Are you able to share the network tab from your browsers inspector panel? This could give us more information about the requests/responses going on between your browser and the Retool server.

Hi @MarkH,

Just wanted to double check on if you are still experiencing these slow load times and if you have any screenshots of the request from the network tab that might give us more details on what could be causing the page to lag!
