- public_reply · Nikhil Rao 11 May 2026 12:19The metrics dashboard is almost unusable right now. Pages just hang when I try to load them. Is there something broken on your side?
- created · Nikhil Rao 11 May 2026 17:15The dashboards have become very slow to use. Some pages are taking minutes to load and I'm seeing timeout errors on queries. This has been happening for several hours now. Can you look into this?
- public_reply · Olivia Grant 11 May 2026 19:58I'm investigating this. Can you pull the browser console and tell me what error messages you're seeing? Also, which specific queries or dashboards are timing out? That will help me narrow down the issue.
- public_reply · Olivia Grant 12 May 2026 10:10I've found the root cause. The dashboard is running an unoptimized query against a large dataset without proper indexing. I'm coordinating with the engineering team to optimize the query. I should have a fix deployed by later today.
- internal_note · Olivia Grant 12 May 2026 15:49Query optimization deployed and tested against the largest dataset. Performance significantly improved. Close when customer confirms.
