Webflow site loading issues

I'm working on a Webflow site right now and it's taking me between 2-7 seconds to switch between pages in the editor, which the task I'm doing requires a lot of. #webstudiosaveus

omg how big are those pages for this to take that long?
JJohn Siciliano
Going between a blog template and an empty page (except the header and footer). here's the switch from blog template to emptyish page....

Man should have recorded that last one. probs double what was in the video. Killing productivity!!

crazy yeah

for fun, open up network in dev tools, clean the log, see what is that stuff they are fetching
JJohn Siciliano
It makes two post requests that retrieve styles from an api in json format

Another to /api/pages which takes a bit

And then lots of little things like datadog requests and just analytics stuff. But those internal api reqs are the bulk of it as for speed

Monolithic style system I didn't finish fixing, 2 requests each 57 kb is weird and super slow but the 7k. Dom request is also super slow
OOleg Isonen
The seem to have a problem with double fetching same thing but also styles shouldn't need fetching there on page switch at all
OOleg Isonen
And it shouldn't take seconds, something is fucked

With 300 engineers you can basically fix performance every day and tomorrow it's gonna break

Most problem here is server taking 2 seconds just to respond
