My user needs 15-25 seconds, sometimes to 30 seconds or more to open the apps. What can I do to make sure the apps run faster? It’s makes user feel not interested to use. Please help.

I had a similar issue not long after I started using Glide, I discovered that using the built in features (Relations, Look Up, Single Values, Math) significantly increased the speed of the app. I had a separate sheet for nearly everything, mainly because it was a lot to learn and I wanted a quick solution.
Not sure if you’ve done all of the training on how to optimize the features that are built in Glide, but I would highly recommend it if you haven’t… Too much data from one place appears so have a serious impact on the performance, which makes sense when you think about it. Hope that helps.

I would search the forum, it’s been discussed.

Data Editor: send only needed data to the user’s device and if possible keep things in Glide If possible, use Glide Tables over any other 3rd-party data source (Google Sheets, Excel, Airtable, etc.) Avoid Airtable. The amount if troubleshooting and questions in the forum are a good indicator that Airtable is to be avoided. This is my personal view only. When appro…
