General performance issues in Business Central

(4) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 8
Hello
 
I am experiencing general performance issues at one of our customers and it is hard to pinpoint the cause.

In general, the UI seems really slow compared to my other customers. When creating a sales line, the UI gets stuck when trying to select an item no. from the dropdown. When the item is finally selected a box appears "Working on it" - "Calculating invoice discount".

The performance profiler seems to show nothing alarming:
 
The Azure Region on the production environment is "Europe" so I asked the customer to do a Azure Latency Test - nothing odd here:
 
When I access the customer's environment with my GDAP access I do not experience the same issues. Everything seems quite "normal".

Can anyone please give ideas on how to proceed from here?

    Hello,
     
    Since the system is fast for you but slow for the customer, the root cause is almost certainly on the user side — browser, device, personalization, or local security software — not the BC environment or Azure latency.
     
    Ask them to try:
     
    different browser / incognito
     
    another PC
     
    removing FactBoxes & heavy personalization
     
    checking VPN, antivirus, extensions, etc.
     
     
    These are the most common reasons why only specific users experience delays like “Working on it – Calculating invoice discount.”
