I have a prototype that is not excessive in size. It is not performing well for me or my client. I’ve seen this is a problem elsewhere and seems to be a Figma issue for many others.
Question
Prototype performance is slow.
Hey
Let’s try to narrow down what might be happening. First, a few quick questions:
-
Are you seeing any specific error messages?
-
Is this happening in the browser, the desktop app, or both?
-
Does it only affect this particular prototype, or are other prototypes also slow?
-
If possible, does the issue persist when switching networks (for example, testing on a mobile hotspot)?
A few troubleshooting steps that often help:
- Clear browser cache, sometimes stored offline data can cause performance issues.
- Restart the app/browser, force-quit Figma (or your browser) completely and reopen it in a fresh window.
Here’s our general troubleshooting checklist as well: https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/articles/360040523973-Troubleshooting-checklist
Let me know how it goes!
No error messages. Just lag. It’s happening in browser and app, for multiple users. I haven’t tried other prototypes.
