Latency (web)
Using the web to access GAIA (Chrome), it has always been unacceptably slow. Ridiculously slow. It takes way to too long to do anything (in addition to the challenges of the GUI). Click on something and wait seconds or near a minute for results.
I'm not talking about today, or recently... it's been the same experience for me, over *years*.
I have hardware acceleration on (saw that in a 2yr old post).
When I finally got my connectivity upgraded from ADSL to high-speed cable internet (and a different carrier/provider) there was no significant improvement.
It hasn't improved with any OS updates & upgrades.
I don't have concurrent latency with other websites or applications.
I recently used the site at late evening/night and for once it was performing at a rate I would accept as "normal". I don't see why I should have to access the site at night to get acceptable performance though, and I haven't tested if that is true always.
Is this the general experience for everyone- The web GUI is always slow?

Hi there. I am using GAIAGPS web from France and am facing the same damn slow response time from my different Windows/Chrome/edge/firefox or mac/safari workstations.
All other web services are fast.
My LAN is enterprise-grade and am using ISP 2GBps downstream fiber... thus thought it could be the latency to servers that are hosted in the USA.
Reading this thread is telling me this is just not a latency issue ... but a lack of resources to power the service or a bad code :)

Hello,
I am having the same issue, GAIA GPS web is super slow. I recently moved to Germany, and it has been slow ever since, no issues with other websites (using Mac/Chrome). I have also used Gaia web while living in Canada and never had those kinds of issues. Could it be some weird geographic problem, that if you access Gaia web from outside of North America it's just super slow? Never had these issues using the app on my phone though, it worked fine in Canada and in Germany ... very weird and quite frustrating to not use the web based application though.

interesting feedback where gaia web was performing ok from Germany. There might be an issue with Global Traffic Management of the platform. Would be great the gaia team provides information on how this is powered (distributed workloads) or the different maps benefit from CDN (content delivery network).
Sorry, i am an IT professional and helping F500 companies to optimize their digital end users experience and might be too « technical » to some readers :) -
This user perfectly captures the frustration of unacceptable slowness when using GAIA on Chrome. Waiting seconds or even a minute for results is a major pain point.
