My app’s URL: [https://fromthepoolside.glideapp.io](https://fromthepoolside.glideapp.io) Every time I open my app on my iphone, the delay is really long before the home screen appears, up to 20 seconds… I have about 345 rows so it’s not that massive a database to load. How can I improve the performance? ---

@Stephanie_Bonnet tried it in Denmark. Only a few seconds load time. Do you have very large images in the app? ---

All images are hyperlinks so that shuldn’t be an issue? I do have a video on the home page, could that be it? I’ll remove it to test. ---

Images need to be fetched. Large images takes long time. But again. No problem at my side ---

Just tested and definitely opens faster without the video. Will have to find anothr way to make it available to people. Thanks for having had a look. ---

I also noticed that if you have a large Animated GIF as the background to the login screen, load time is exponentially longer. ---

Beautiful app and theme color. Works/loads just fine in Canada. Just less than a sec of load time. I think it might be your logo. ---

Works fine here in Vietnam, Stephanie.
