Question

Figma Make works slow after many iterations.

Very low performance speed in Figma Make when the thread reaches large sizes (currently 230+ iterations). All actions in the chat area occur with a significant delay (typing, scrolling, etc.), making it impossible to work.

However, the prototype itself works well within FM.

Has anyone encountered this? What could be the cause? Could it be related to the power of the laptop?

I believe that is because the Beta version it can undergo bugs/performance issues.

But, also in Figma, once your file gets bigger and bigger, it will require more CPU performance, so ideally, it is to start breaking the file interactions into smaller pieces to save memory.

Thank you! Any ways to break the file in Figma Make?

You can just prompt to Make asking to break the code into smaller components.

I just did it as a test, and it worked very well.

Hey ​@Andrii Bozhenko

I've gone ahead and flagged this with our team. They’ve asked if you’d be able to share the file key for the file where you're seeing this happen, having access to the specific file will help us investigate, as there could be a few different factors contributing to the performance issues. If you’d rather not post it publicly, feel free to DM me and let me know here.

 

Thank you, 

Gayani

@Gayani_S I have the same problem I’m up to version 367. Happy to share the file key for the file with you also.

I am also facing the slowness issue.

Is it going to remember every iteration.. forever?

Many iterations make it difficult to navigate the history. Most of that history isn’t even relevant anymore. It could be that I tried some things and then restored to a previous version or it’s just really old prompting that I don’t need to reference anymore. Would archiving history make it faster?

This is exactly what I’m looking for - or the ability to duplicate the file and have that duplicate as a new “baseline”, essentially version 1 again.

scrolling the chat list becomes slow, and inputting prompts is also very laggy. It is recommended to consider introducing a ​​virtual list​​ to reduce DOM nodes.

Hey everyone, really appreciate you flagging this — we hear you! To help the team dig into this, it would be super helpful if you could share the URL of the file where you're seeing the slowdown. There are a few factors that might be at play, and having access to the specific file will help the team investigate more accurately.

Thank you. I've sent you the URL via direct message. Looking forward to the fix.​
