Hi, I noticed during the last one week all my boards are very laggy and slow. It takes up to 5-6 seconds for the board to respond to an interaction. This is incredibly annoying and looking at the history of this issue - it appears it is quite a common problem. Please would you look into this and resolving it once and for all?

Hi there! I’m a designer working with giant and constantly expanding Miro boards. I have begun to notice lag in performance and was wondering what the heaviest hitters would be so that I can minimize my board’s performance issues especially while working with others. 

My board contains high-resolution images, lots of handwritten notes from the iPad, some shapes, and some bits of text.

What would be best to minimize?

  • Remove images?
  • Reduce the amount of space the objects take up on the board? Does the space between objects on the board affect board performance?
  • Reduce handwritten vectors? Does handwriting increase calculations?

On another note I’ve noticed that my handwritten vectors will show up polygonal with no curvature later on when I open the board. Is this one of Miro’s tactics for reducing the board size?
 

Thank you for your question! It's great that you're considering optimizing your Miro board for better performance.

To address your concerns:

  • High-resolution images can indeed slow down performance. Reducing the number of images or lowering their resolution could help.
  • Space between objects on the board doesn’t directly impact performance, but the sheer amount of objects does. Consolidating objects where possible might help.
  • Handwritten vectors from your iPad can also contribute to lag, as they tend to have more data points compared to standard text or shapes. Simplifying or reducing handwritten content could make a difference.

Regarding the polygonal appearance of handwritten vectors, Miro does sometimes optimize board content by simplifying shapes, which may be why you're seeing reduced curvature later on. This helps improve loading times and performance, especially with large boards.

Thanks for this Eca!

There doesn’t happen to be a way to flatten some of my handwriting to an image or something simpler does there?

And there doesn’t happen to be a way to reduce image quality for large images?
