Profile loading time scales with # following/followers

Site Feedback
#1

Some user feedback: I’ve noticed that profile pages scale with the number of users followers/following.

For example: rcteam (3.6k following) had a loading time of 20.77 seconds according to developer console

Vaelariuscrypto (referralking) (500 following) has a loading time of 4.21 seconds

New users in my testing have had a loading time of ~.5 seconds.

It’s definitely a use case that affects a lower percentage of users, but i would guess it could be fixed using lazy loading on the following/followers list.

Thanks!

Hi yes thanks for the feedback. Some users run scripts to follow every single new user (which isn’t really the intended behaviour) so load times for these mega-followers will be lower as there is a lot of data to add. We encourage users to follow others in a ‘sensible’ way :slight_smile: We’ll be reviewing this in the next site upgrade, thanks!
