At a time when all work is done at the speed of light, we want the applications we use to match the speed of our lives. But apps do not always meet our expectations, and in this article we will look at the reasons why your app is lagging.
1. You are using faulty libraries
An app developer may be good at providing the best performance. But there may be problems with the libraries and Software Development Kit provided by the trader which are out of the control of the developer. You need to check the code of third-party libraries to see if it contains errors or bugs. If the libraries are not checked carefully, the application may be lagging. Ensure that you’re using secure, stable, and reliable libraries that have a large community.
2. You are doing too much on the main thread
Your code is taking long to process and frames are being skipped because of it. This may be because of some heavy processing that you are doing at the heart of your application or DB access, which makes the thread to stop for a while.
3. Your asset files are huge
If the file of the built app is overloaded with data, the app will therefore work slowly. Keeping the file size of the built app to a minimum is important, especially for mobile devices. Firstly, you should determine which Assets contribute most to it, because these Assets are the most likely candidates for optimization.
4. Your code is inefficient
Code efficiency is a term used to describe the reliability, speed and programming methodology used in writing codes for an application. It is directly linked with algorithmic efficiency and the speed of runtime execution for software and remains as the key element in ensuring high performance.
5. The speed of network
Slow network can hugely affect your application’s performance. It doesn’t implicate the network itself, but the services that most network-based applications depend upon. If you want to fix this problem, you should check the network speed all the time and find the app slows down.
