Faster, Smoother, More Delightful: Real-Time Dashboards Performance Improvements

Performance matters—especially when you’re exploring live data and making decisions in real time. We have released a set of improvements, all aiming to make Real-Time Dashboards faster, smoother, and more responsive, based directly on what our customers and community told us.

We listen to your feedback and take action!

What’s Improved

Thanks to a series of performance optimizations across the dashboard experience, we’ve achieved a significant double‑digit reduction in full dashboard load time, along with major improvements in common interactions:

  • Much faster initial dashboard load—in some scenarios, up to 6× faster
  • Large dataset visualizations load dramatically quicker, reducing wait time and friction
  • Charts render more efficiently (including up to 10× faster pie charts)
  • Smoother, more responsive UI, with freezes and visual jumps eliminated

These gains add up to a noticeably snappier experience—especially when working with live, high‑volume data.

Why This Matters

Performance isn’t just about benchmarks—it’s about flow, confidence, and trust. Faster dashboards mean:

  • Quicker insights from live data
  • Less interruption when exploring or refreshing tiles
  • A more polished, reliable experience you can depend on

Try it Yourself

The best way to feel the difference is to experience it firsthand.
