The Ultimate Guide to Bubble Performance

Petter Amlie · Amlie Solutions Paid Advanced

This is the single most complete reference on why Bubble apps slow down and how to fix it, written by the person most founders in the Bubble community learn performance from. It goes deep on database structure, search efficiency, and page speed with detail Bubble's own docs skip, including input from Bubble's head engineers. If you are past quick fixes and want to understand the mechanics before deciding whether to rebuild anything, start here.

  • Most slowness is app structure, not the platform hitting a hard limit
  • How you design your data types decides how fast searches can ever be
  • Page element count and repeating group size compound as your data grows
