    Hi guys as the title says, the forum is noticeably slow on certain computers.
    On my main PC it's fine, but on my work laptop, and some users' machines, it seems to be laggy a lot of the times.

    It seems like other users do not experience this and I'm not quite sure what could be the cause, I havent changed anything within the codebase itself.

    if anyone would be kind enough to test it on their browsers, it's https://forum.bladerunners.net

    I'm really lost on how to make it perform better and if anyone can help i'd be very grateful

      Did you try disabling the text-shadow animation? That could be affecting performance :think:

        Indra-Ansari I'd say the primary issue is with toast.js as it takes 1.29 seconds to load. See below

          Seems like a general slowness in API calls as well, for example.

          https://forum.bladerunners.net/api/config => ~276ms
          https://community.nodebb.org/api/config => ~31ms

          Could be server is overloaded or location. Gotto check cpu/ram usage of the server.

            considering that different machines i was testing on were experiencing different levels of lag i assumed it was the client-side and turning of the text shadow animation seems to have stopped it. thanks much baris

            felt really silly for this one

            I'll look into the others, but i assume it's likely a thing with where the server is located since the server itself isn't showing any signs of stress at all.

            the initial issue of lag came up when typing into the text boxes for chat and creating posts shows a huge input delay. seems to be gone now

                julian 😆 those animations can be hard on the CPU if gpu rendering is turned off in browser settings or you are on a really low end machine.

                  I don't know whether this is related but NodeBB slows to a crawl during web calls. Only on Firefox.

                  It's very weird. I wonder if it's related.
