I start to use Outsystems 1 or 2 years ago and from the beginning I noted that the OutSystems Web Site have some performance problems.
I'm the only one with this feeling or this is real?
I think this behaviour can generate some inconvencience when we are offereing the product and share links to our leads.
Maybe this problem in because i'm working from Latin America (Colombia and Chile)?
Hi @felipe.castilla I think this I not the problem. I myself given several demos to cliento clients by building some of poc. Aa my suggestion is hire a senior developer who knows best practices and use the outsystems functionalities and database to develop any scenario. While loading the data you can use some good animation loading states to look good.
You location might not be the problem.
Hi Filipe,
To what websites are you referring to? The web applications you develop with OutSystems or the OutSystems website itself like the community pages like Forum and Ideas.
Performance problems can occur on the client side (how many resource files (JS, HTML, CSS) are loaded in the browser, if you overly designed you application in many many modules, this can result in a lot of resources that need to be loaded in the browser.
It can be network traffic, how fast is your internet connection.
It can be server side, how fast are your aggregates or advanced SQL, did you check in Service Center the slow queries report?
There can be many reasons why you have performance issues, you need to dive into them. If you or your company doesn't have the expertise to analyze and fix performance problems, you can always contact more experience OutSystems partners (wink wink) or OutSytems for help, as they might have expert services for performance analysis and fixing.
Regards,
Daniel
Hello Felipe,
There are so many organizations using OutSystems to build their business critical websites. Further I have seen certain customers who are using OutSystems primarily for their front end applications. Any website could get slow regardless of the underlying framework if web page contains heavy elements or pre processing. Hence I would suggest you to first ensure that your applications are built using recommended best practices.
Out of the box OutSystems provides good set of tools to monitor the performance of applications. These tools should help you to get good insight on where the slowness exists in your application. Please refer below documentation on different tools.

Hope it helps!

Sorry, I was referring to the Outsystems website.
Is it slow for you too?

This is already reported to OutSystems since mid last week the community pages are unacceptably slow.
Hi Felipe,
Since the end of last week, the performance is back to normal numbers (or even better).
The reason the platform was slow for a week was a large upgrade of the infrastructure OutSystems uses to run the community pages.
