My app right now is going very slow, to search, click on a button or even scroll up and down it takes minutes to do so.

Yesterday I changed a glide table I had to a big table since we’ve had hit the 25000 rows limit. I don’t know if the performance has downgraded because of this? Since it was a couple minutes after I finished the changes (redirecting actions and relations from one table to another) that the app started going so slow.

This is how it looks like right now:

It has that “loading” message at the bottom, and while I can do things, any action takes around one or two minutes to load

How many rows from the Big Table are you trying to load for that specific screen?

That’s the thing, I’m not using the big table in this screen, in the only screen I use I load max 10 items (my table has over 3000 rows), but in this screen or the rest of the screens in my app I do not use this table

That “Loading” thing indicates there’s something related to that table being loaded. Can you check if any of the components is referring to that table either through direct data or visibility conditions/filters etc?

I took away a hidden table I had as well as one column in the table I was showing, however it’s still going slow and I still get the “Loading” message

That’s weird. I usually only see that when I have anything that relates to a Big Table. If it persists and you are sure you don’t link to any Big Tables, I would suggest contacting support through the chat icon on the bottom right of your builder.

I was able to fix the issue thanks to support. The main issue relied in a relation going to my big table, what’s funny is that the table were I had that relation was not used in my main screen, neither was the big table. I suppose it was trying to load the values gotten from the big table in the background even when it was not used and that’s what caused the problem.

Thanks for the info, I have always thought it would only load when you use it somewhere on the screen.
