SLOWNESS

Jimmy Sullivan
Hey all, thank you for sharing this feedback with us. We know that slow speeds can be frustrating and impede your productivity. We’re listening and improving performance & reliability is our number 1 focus.
The most productive way to get unblocked on slow speeds issues is to notify our Technical Support team. Specific details about the impacted features, your account, usage, and overall environment enable us to take action and ship fixes. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us, especially if you’re noticing new issues. https://help.clickup.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
Additionally, we are underway with rolling our ClickUp 3.0. That is happening in two separate phases: the product experience and infrastructure improvements. If you have access to 3.0 features, you may not yet be on the new infrastructure. The infrastructure improvements will directly target performance & reliability.
We've migrated a small set of our user base to the new infrastructure and are on track to move all workspaces by the end of October. Migration will happen automatically without any action required by your team.
I am going to update the status of this post to “In Progress” while we work on delivering the new infrastructure to all users. We’re listening, we hear your frustration, and we’re going to get this fixed. Please continue to reach our to us with issues like this so we can fix them.

Hey everyone, I wanted to give an update now that we've switched to 3.0.
I was on this thread a while back complaining about how slow clickup was (when we were still on v2).
I'm very pleased to report that 3.0 is a significant improvement to v2, both in speed and features. Actually, its probably more that the features in 2 are now practical to use (ie whiteboards don't run at 5fps). But I'm very happy with 3 and wish to congratulate the dev team for building a good platform.
We were intending to switch away from Clickup but now will stick around.
Thanks also to the Clickup support team for bumping us up the list to get 3.0 faster.
Cheers all

Chris Brosnan: Glad to hear Chris! We've been pouring our hearts into making everything better.
And yes, we gave whiteboards a major speed boost! 🚀

I will confess... over the past couple updates, between https://feedback.clickup.com/feature-requests/p/custom-item-types-instead-of-only-tasks and the one this morning, it is starting to feel a bit snappier. keep up the good work Zeb & team.. keep it up.
Zach - ClickUp
Michael: Glad to hear! Especially coming from a power user like yourself, this is great validation that our speed improvements are making a difference.

Could the performance dips be due to migrating backend data in batches? If so, is there a weekly/daily schedule we can anticipate for those maintenance hours? Or is the infrastructure update going to happen all at once on a certain day once everything is ready to ship?
Waiting ten minutes for something to load every couple hours or so interrupts workflow quite a bit, so if possible, being informed of maintenance hours in advance would be very helpful.

Hey everyone, I'm curious how many people here are using the desktop app as opposed to a browser? I just checked my workspace in safari (i only use the desktop app) and it seemed waaaaay faster. I re-installed the app but it's still pretty slow and bad at updating info on the screen when you change things. This didn't happen in the browser when I checked (briefly). ANd no clickup - Im not about to start using it in the browser, if you provide apps you need to make sure they work properly!

This is damaging our team's adoption of the platform. As soon as it starts causing frustration and slowing down the workflows it's meant to improve, people stop using it, and it's much harder to get them back on track when the tracks themselves are deemed unreliable.

Jimmy Sullivan can you quantify the improved behaviour of the infrastructure changes? I understand that we will get realtime updates on task changes, that is easy to understand, but 'freaky fast', what can we realistically expect? There is currently already so much difference in how people experience the platform, some have no real issue, for myself I just experience it slow, but manageable, so I wonder if we get in line with the near instant experiences of other tools?

Zach - ClickUp is this new infrastructure something we move to as a single upgrade, or is it step by step enhancements? What can we expect?
I am already quite happy with some speed improvements, but it always sounded like we were migrated to a new environment 'at some point', rather than continuous improvements.

I just had to click four times to remove a start date from a task before it stuck. This is the sort of thing. If I were to reach out to support every time I experience slowness on click up I would literally get no work done because quite frankly, it's just too frequent adn widespread accross the platform. I want to spend my time gettign stuff done, not constantly reporting issues.
Alex Drukman
Jimmy Sullivan - I'm not sure it is clear how significant this issue is.
The entire Software group won't migrate to ClickUp only due to this issue.
It is extremely important to dedicate the required resources to fix it.
Michael
Hey Alex Drukman - if you haven't done so already, test out my solution here. It has been really helping my team. https://youtu.be/CM1XmreFrR4
Alex Drukman
Michael: Hi Michael, I truly appreciate your kind attempt to assist. I already noticed your recommendation in another post and tried it. Unfortunately, it hardly had any impact on performance.
Michael
Alex Drukman - cool - hard to keep track of who's done what so wanted to make sure!

I have had about all I can stand with CU's performance. I am literally sitting here waiting after every single thing I try to do for screen to load. I have submitted multiple tickets over the last 6 months.
This is not worth it. I seriously don't know if I can stand this till new infrastructure comes out at end of October. You are driving clients to Notion, Asana, anywhere that works. I LOVE CU, but my patience is well past my limit. Are you providing refund for the months where the system is not practically functional for long-time paying customers?
Michael
Hi James McLeod - this may help you in the meantime - https://youtu.be/CM1XmreFrR4

Today I have had an incredibly quick ClickUp. Very much the level I was expecting/hoping for ClickUp 3. Im really glad I gave it another chance. Thank you to all the devs!
Zach - ClickUp
Mariana Irazu: That's great to hear! It's getting faster each week!
