Figma Make works slow after many iterations.

Have also sent mine over via DM :)

hi Gayani - wondering if there has been any progress on this?

Hey ​@Jake_Spillar, apologies for the delayed response! I’ve shared URL of the files you and ​@fencerzheng provided over with the team, and they’re currently investigating the issue. While I don’t have a timeline to share just yet, please know this is on their radar.

I understand how frustrating performance issues can be, and I truly appreciate your patience while we look into it. I’ll make sure to update you as soon as I hear more from the team.

I have this issue as well. We are on iteration 275 and it’s almost unusable.
Asking Figma Make to break the code into smaller components did not improve performance. 

Came here because I have also identified that the number of iterations is making it slow.

If you share the prototype and run that, it is super fast. But soon as you run it in edit mode, it takes ~30 seconds for typed text to come up. Everyone on our team is experiencing the same issue.

• No way to remove old chat histroy/context
• Duplicating prototype keeps history, so cant remove it that way either

(separate note - it can be nice to remove old context and add new chat history anyway, if I want to focus on a new area and not leverage the existing context for it).

A temporary solution is to write your prompt into a text editor, then cut & paste.

I have the same issue, because the chat is too long probably over 200 versions… this is how you build a website no? lol
please add clean chat, or archive somehow, the context cant be infinite..
its soo slow no, take me 1 min to type my prompt ):

I have a solution to clone the entire project into a new Figma Make file - it’s the history that slows everything down. A colleague has created a guide for - this does work if you follow the instructions exactly. As a note to Figma - an option to clone a file without the conversation history would be very much appreciated.

The guide includes a series of prompts, and some manual copy-pasting, that'll help us migrate existing Make files into a new one while preserving file structure and code. I've tested it 5-6 times and each of those times it was successful!

The guide covers the following:

• Exporting project file structure
• Creating clean project blueprints
• Automated file/folder creation
• Code transfer process
• Context briefing for Figma Make

Hopefully this helps someone until we have an official solution.

nice workaround!

hey, ye i also have that same problem its going really slow for me now also i think i am on version 360 and its almost like i have to wait 10 seconds after every click

please figure something out for this issue

Kind Regards, Abod​​​​​​
