App speed

Why is the speed of my app slow?

The speed of your mobile app is directly influenced by the response time of your website’s database. Since AppMySite fetches data in real-time using REST APIs, any delays in your website's response will impact your app’s performance.

Understanding the response time

• AppMySite does not store your website data but retrieves it dynamically via REST APIs.

• If your website loads quickly in a browser, it doesn’t necessarily mean the app will load at the same speed.

• The database response time is the key factor affecting app performance.

Factors that may slow down your app

Several factors could be impacting the database response time and slowing down your app:

• Lack of image optimization on your website. Images take longer to load and slow down the response time of your website’s database.

• The location of your server. We suggest using CDNs to ensure your website loads fast anywhere in the world.

• The number of plugins on your website. Too many plugins can slow down the response time of your website, especially if they make too many requests to your WordPress database.

• The reliability of your website host. We suggest you invest in a reliable hosting partner that can guarantee a certain level of database response time. You can visit the Performance module in your AppMySite account for more guidance on this.

If your app is built using the Web-to-App solution, the app simply renders your website inside a web-view interface. The app’s speed depends entirely on your website’s loading speed.

How to diagnose performance issues

• Visit the Performance module in your AppMySite account for optimization tips.

• Use the Connectivity troubleshooter to check your app's response time. If the results show unusually high response times, you may need to optimize your website.
