Prevent Web Application Lag – Best Practices

draw.io

Currently, I'm using Draw.io (similar to Microsoft PowerPoint in editing tools) on Google Chrome to create my card game. However, I've added a ton of shapes, and now it's lagging. I have some other tabs open, but I'm not sure if that is the issue. I tried setting Google Chrome to high priority via task manager, but it doesn't seem to be helping. Any other tips?

I'm not sure which StackExchange meta this belongs on, but this seemed most fitting.

there are many ways and any or none can help...

  • toogle hardware acceleration (better rendering)
  • set chrome://flags/#num-raster-threads on 4 (faster image/object load)
  • suspend all non-active tabs - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/ (more RAM resources)
  • clear cache - chrome://settings/clearBrowserData (less junk files)
  • set high or realtime priority in task manager (priority boost)
