Why are my prototypes so slow?

The prototypes are agnostic of device, or browser, it is happening in different user’s computers and others who are viewing the Figma prototypes. This is happening for different prototype files regarless of size. Wondering if this is something Figma is experiencing lately.

Hey there, sorry to hear this is happening!
Does this happen in the app, in the browser, or both?

Can you please try clearing out your cache in the browser and Desktop app and check if this helps? You can follow these steps in this article (for Mac or Windows): here

Sometimes issues in the app may be caused by something stored in the Figma app cache. The restarting step usually helps to make sure that the cache is properly cleared before reinstalling the app.

If it still doesn’t help, I’d recommend you to reach out to our support team so they can investigate it further by filling the form: here
Please share a quick screen recording or supporting screenshots demonstrating the issue, and provide a direct link to the files in the form, and invite support-share@figma.com with “can edit” permission (from the file’s share settings) so the team can look into this further. This will not count towards your billing at all.
