Bubble · Bubble Docs Free Beginner

Slowness and cost come from the same root: work your app does that it did not need to. This explains how Bubble measures that work across page loads, searches, and workflows, which gives you a number to chase instead of a vague feeling. Understanding it makes the other optimizations concrete.

  • Searches, workflows, and page loads all consume measurable workload
  • Custom states live on the device and cost nothing to set
  • The same waste that spikes workload is what makes pages feel slow
