You're frustrated with slow app performance. How can you tackle network issues effectively?

None of these options solve the problem nor remove the compute costs. The internet is like a freeway. Traffic makes congestion. The only solution is to use distributed apps (like the infoapps from storieddata.com). They use browser resources and thus are supper fast and can be used simultaneously by millions of people.

In order to diagnose the Network: - Check Signal Strength, Ensure your device has a strong signal, as weak signals can cause slow app performance. - Use Diagnostic Tools, Evaluate network status by checking ping times (high ping indicates latency issues) and data throughput (low throughput suggests network congestion). - Switch Networks, If you're on mobile data, try switching to Wi-Fi, or vice versa, to see if performance improves.

Narrow down the issue Is it application related (only issue with specific App or all of them) - check other Apps Is it system related (PC , mobile etc) -system overload, check CPU stats etc via tools like task manager Is it network related - like a home router issue - switch WiFi or cellular

What we observed in field… - signals strength may get low due to several reasons… may hit the situation anyways. so what we did to fight this.. — if it’s data oriented app (surveys, data posting, etc.) then specially save data on local device. If server do not respond within 100ms, than save locally and sync it later. — use data compression: so that you will be able to post or sync in lowest possible time because of minimum sized data chunk.. — use Microservices architecture at backend, balance the load, increase resources where actually needed. It’s indirectly relevent. Low chocking situation, sometime communication strength is good enough but resource lockings are blockers. It will support anyways.

Check your device's signal strength, ping time, and data speed using its built-in tools. If you notice a weak signal or slow response, try switching between cell data and Wi-Fi. Next, hook up to the router, restart your gadgets, and make sure your apps and system are up to date. If you're still having trouble, you might want to use a VPN or think about getting a network booster. or try Using Google DNS Lastly, get in touch with your internet company to ask about any outages or maybe look into upgrading your plan.

You can also schedule or manage time for apps update so as to save data on unneeded apps with constant bug fixes and updates.

Very important to keep updated - mobile (android, IOS firmware) - windows or mac (check for updates regularly) - security updates for firewall, anti virus

I strongly recommend to activate automatic update functions of the operating system and applications you are using and running . This ensures getting latest stability and security updates from provider.

Keep your apps up to date and always pay attention to the release notes published by the developer to know what was updated. In case issue is not resolved, get in touch with the developer and let them know about the issue in detail

Updates are also potential sources of new problems. If your problems only originated after an upgrade, you may need to consult vendor help or rollback.

It's not the end user's task to make the essential settings in their device to run an app. The app needs to adapt to the user's device. Below are some hints for wisely setting up the app: a) Use a wise matrix from general to particular to identify where the app needs to increase network usage b) Separate by Android and IOS versions that still have support, by device: top 5 brands that leaders the market share c) Optimize the background usage when the device is not in use and a period of no more than 1 minute data sync d) Place in the APK all the secure info and offline processing when the app is downloaded for the first time, so the updates will be lighter e) Release ONLY needed to be updated, try to avoid over-updating as Meta app does.

Always make sure that: - You are connected to the best wifi network available - If a wifi has week signal, consider switching to mobile internet - Ensure background network access is not disabled

App and Device Updates Importance • Maintaining optimal performance through regular updates. • Previously struggled with slow app responses, especially with streaming services. • After reading about the importance of updates, checked for pending ones. • Found several apps and device firmware updates available, some with network optimizations. • Updates resolved the sluggishness. • Developers often release fixes for bugs and enhancements to improve network efficiency. • Updates are crucial for smooth app performance.

Review the data model and flow of the application. Badly written applications usually disregard the data format and protocol that are being used. JSON might be popular but it's not the most efficient, too 'wordy' and consumes too much of data packets. Protobuff is more efficient and concise in most cases compared to JSON. Blindly using popular REST on HTTP protocol which is stateless may not be suitable for applications that need birectional data flow. Websocket would be better in this situation. Review the actual data usage and model of the application. Choose the suitable data format and communication protocol.

Regularly: - Clear the RAM of unused background applications - Restart the phone every few days - Remove any unused apps - Restrict data usage of apps that my conflicting with your application - Clear device storage of unused files and media

Clearing Device Clutter for App Performance • Clearing device clutter can improve app performance, especially when network-related issues are involved. • Over time, apps accumulate cache data and temporary files, leading to lagging during video calls. • Regular clearing of cache improves app smoothness and data retrieval speed, making the overall experience more enjoyable. • Clearing cache is a simple task but can be overlooked until performance issues arise. • Keeping the device running efficiently is a habit.

Upgrade: - Wifi to the latest Wifi 6 or Wifi 5 standards, matching your device - Upgrade the device to newer models with better CPU, RAM and Wifi - Upgrade the device with ample RAM to run multiple apps and allow faster performance - Your internet connection for better speed and latency

This is true, but user or customer should be informed via Update process is the hardware or devices does not meet the system performance requirements of the application. This can be done via auto update process. In addition it should be possible to keep an older version in use that meets the requirements of the device . This will reduce the churn rate .

Sometimes the latest SW upgrade may not be suitable for your older HW. New SW may consume data differently and expect certain newer HW capabilities. If you have recently upgraded SW and then experience problems, you may prefer to rollback the upgrade if you can. Rollback is only appropriate after diagnosing other potential problems.

Investing in Better Hardware for High Network Performance • Older smartphones struggle with app performance, especially when connected to Wi-Fi. • Despite optimizing settings and clearing cache, the device was outdated. • Upgrading to a newer model improved app responsiveness and network performance. • The newer device had better antennas and supported advanced network technologies. • The most effective solution is investing in better hardware, especially for apps requiring high network performance.

The future of App performance is.. proactive usage predictions. So the network could be smarter and manage the required "elasticity" to meet the demand, which keeps changing as the characteristics of the network(s). Predict to Action and Avoid: PAA, this is the way to go! Some companies push the network to understand the so-called "intent", but at the end of the day, every day is difefrent, every hour, every site, every user. The business keeps changing. This is where AI has a key role to play And this now exists!
