[Launched] Lazy-rendering Widgets in Dashboards

[datbth (Dat Bui)]

Introduction

Greetings, everyone!

On Oct 12, we released a new performance improvement to Dashboards: Lazy-rendering Widgets.

Details

• Before:
  • All widgets are executed and rendered when opening the Dashboard.
  • The rendering of all widgets can easily accumulate and make the browser stagger.
• After:
  • All widgets are executed when opening the Dashboard, but only those visible in the viewport will be rendered!
  • As a result, the initial load of a Dashboard will be much more responsive and pleasant!

Demo

In the demo video(s) below, I’m trying out a Dashboard with 20 Pivot Tables.

• Before:
  • It took nearly 10 seconds for the Dashboard to be responsive.
  • This gets worse as the total number of widgets in the Dashboard goes up.

• After
  • It took 1-2 seconds for the Dashboard to be responsive.

Ending Notes

We hope you enjoy this improvement.
More performance optimizations and features are on the way!

Cheers!
