# Performance Optimization

### Overview

Performance issues show up as slow loads, laggy scrolling, or timeouts.

Most performance problems are caused by large datasets, heavy views, or constrained device and network resources.

### Key Concepts

* **Large Project**: Project with many work items and linked records
* **Heavy view**: view with many columns, groups, and filters
* **Client-side load**: browser effort to render large lists

### How It’s Used

Use this page when list views lag, dashboards load slowly, or updates take too long to appear.

Use it during rollout to standardize view patterns that keep performance stable.

### Benefits

* Faster day-to-day navigation
* Reduced timeouts during governance reviews
* More predictable experience across large Projects

### Setup Steps

### Confirm baseline requirements

Confirm the device and browser meet recommended levels.

{% endstep %}

### Reduce view complexity

1. Limit columns to the fields needed for the current review.
2. Avoid deep grouping when lists are large.
3. Filter to a narrower scope, such as one Segment or status set.
4. Save the configuration as a Save View.
   {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Reduce browser load

1. Close unused browser tabs.
2. Restart the browser to clear long-lived memory growth.
3. Disable extensions that modify page content.
   {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Isolate network vs browser issues

1. Test performance on a second network when possible.
2. Confirm service status when issues affect many teammates.

{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

### Best Practices

* Standardize shared Save Views with minimal columns.
* Keep dashboards stable and filter-driven instead of widget-heavy.
* Use separate Projects for truly unrelated work to reduce dataset size per Project.

### Summary

Performance improves most from view simplification, Save View standards, and adequate device and network baselines.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.transform.ai/troubleshooting/performance-optimization.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
