A while ago I mentioned the problem of fluency in Glide apps. These score low at: [https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/](https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/) And they go quite slow on android devices. Even in the mid-range. Is Glide aware of this problem? ![1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/c/2/c2595cb5f3ec575a62f2f14dd5dce0ba7954370c.png) s, and my clients today. How could we improve this? ---

Where in the world are you? This looks like a network issue. Also, “Android” is too wide – which Android OS? Which devices? ---

This problem exists on mid-range devices, and even if the app has many images, the app has poor performance. Even if the images are optimized by the developer and being uploaded directly from Glide. ---

It is not a network problem. It is a performance issue. I invite you to take a test on any app made in Glide at: [PageSpeed Insights](https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/) and you will see that they all have low scores. ---

May I have one of your app URLs to test? ---

Of course. Although I insist, the app has perfect performance on browsers or IOS devices. This is a problem that only happens on ALL Android devices. (devices that we already know are not optimized in the best way) > **[Wide Market](https://widemarket.glideapp.io/)** > > Somos la primera aplicación de éste tipo en todo el estado Apure. Compra en tus negocios favoritos y espera tus artículos desde la comodidad de tu hogar. I also repeat that this happens with all apps made in Glide that have a (medium) amount of on-screen components shown to the user. It doesn’t just happen with my app. ---

To also rule out that it is due to my internet. I am sending you a screenshot showing that my internet is good enough to load perfectly with any web page. ![1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/7/7/772e700bad6012181fd7b706a546c0c01cbb4b87.png) ---

Your speed test is not running against our servers. ---

Despite not being run on their servers I think it is fast enough not to have problems. I insist again: \* The problem is not of load the problem is clearly of “Fluency” and “Performance” ---

We know exactly what the problems are, and the magnitude of the problems is determined mostly by your distance from our servers. ---

So you say the problem is due to the distance from the server? For example: Changing tabs and making it look slow is due to that? ---

It’s hard to tell the CEO of Glide that I don’t think that’s the problem, but I assure you, sir, that’s not the source of the problem I’m talking about. ---

I’m taking about the speed report you showed. That does not have tab change speed in it. ---

Okay. Then he had misunderstood. I am very grateful that you are the one who responds to this type of problem and I hope that your team will look at it since it is a latent problem and is a source of almost DAILY complaints that I receive from my clients and users. Greetings, David. ---
