Performance Lag

Troubleshoot slow loading, delayed posting, or unresponsive interfaces when using Postly.

Why Performance Lag Occurs

Performance lag can disrupt your experience with Postly, causing slow dashboard loading, delayed post scheduling, or unresponsive interfaces. Common causes include:

  • Browser cache or extensions causing conflicts.
  • Unstable or slow network connections.
  • Large media files (e.g., high-resolution images or videos).
  • Platform API delays or rate limits.

Below are steps to optimize performance and platform-specific tips to reduce lag.

General Troubleshooting

Start with these steps to improve Postly's performance across all platforms.

  1. Clear your browser cache (Settings > Privacy > Clear Browsing Data) to remove conflicts.
  2. Disable browser extensions, especially ad blockers or VPNs, which may interfere with Postly.
  3. Ensure a stable internet connection (use a wired connection or test your Wi-Fi speed).
  4. Optimize media files: compress images to under 2MB and videos to under 100MB before uploading.
  5. Update your browser to the latest version for optimal performance.
