Complex Dashboards and Lag

Thanks for the clarification. In that case, it sounds like more like a rendering performance thing (not cloud vs local). All the content is already loaded in memory, so the performance implication would be the time it takes to render (and in this case also derender previous dashboard tiles).

Would you mind sharing some screenshots (or a video) of your dashboards so I can see if there’s any suggestions I could make?

A couple things you could try:

  1. Try minimizing the number of unnecessary tiles. For example, instead of using several 1x1 Spacer Tiles, try using large Spacer Tiles (eg. adjust their dimensions).
  2. Try using the new Dashboard Overlay feature. One benefit of this is it doesn’t have to derender tiles before rendering the new ones which can result in a significant performance boost.
  3. Test on a modern device with a completely updated browser as a benchmark / comparison (eg. a laptop or computer with an updated version of Chrome/Safari).
    • Related to this, if you’re testing on a device with Fully Kiosk Browser, you could try testing on the device’s built-in browser and/or installing a browser with its own up-to-date rendering engine and test on that (eg. Chrome or Firefox).
    • A common cause of performance issues is the device having an outdated WebView - particularly common on Fire tablets. Make sure the device OS is up-to-date as Fire tablets bundle the WebView with their OS updates.
