Wappler sometimes very slow

Hi Wapplers,

I am experiencing something very strange… I am using Docker, NodeJS with postgress, on a local host, port 8100.

I am not sure why but recently my local wappler web page has been extremely slow. If I reset my macbook it works quickly, then slows down.

When I say runs slowly, let me elaborate Logging a user in can sometimes take a while. Clicking on a repeating table and showing data in a form, then clicking another item and showing the new data will take a while for that old data to disappear and the new data to appear.

Any idea what can be causing this lag? When I click on chrome debugger --> Fetch/XHR the status is Pending and can remain like that for ages. It’s stalling.

Could this be docker? Wappler? Port issue?

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Although it sounds like you are on the right track, have you checked Activity Monitor while the slowdown is occurring? Be sure to change the update speed to every second - and also note if any process is using a ton of memory.

That might point you in a specific direction. I would have assumed some sort of nested table situation, but the fact a restart fixes it doesn’t jive with that.

Thanks for your response! I actually figured out what the problem was.

On some of my API workflows I confirm the identity of the user as the first step, however, Output was ticked and autoload was on. So when I checked the web server terminal in Wappler there was constant calling of the server every second which just bombed out the local server (and not to mentioned my macbook was overheating as well). This slowed down everything. The main thing I did was untick the Output box on the user identity call. Everything seems to be in order now.

PS… loving Wappler! Just takes time to navigate and learn the ins and outs.
