Performance and Productivity Tips for Bubble Developers

Hi all, fellow Bubble developers!

To keep your pages lightweight and improve loading performance, I’m extensively using Reusable Elements in my Bubble apps. Reusable elements not only help reduce page complexity and initial load time, but they also significantly cut down on repetitive work. They allow for a consistent UI and logic across multiple pages, which makes app maintenance much easier and more efficient.

I’m also leveraging Custom Workflows to streamline logic and centralize actions used in multiple places. This approach saves development time and helps keep workflows organized and easier to manage.

If you’re building a scalable Bubble app, I highly recommend the following:

:repeat_button: Use Reusable Elements for headers, footers, modals, forms, and repeating structures.

:gear: Create Custom Workflows for repeated logic like logging actions, sending emails, or resetting data.

:broom: Keep pages clean by minimizing the number of elements and workflows on a single page to avoid performance bottlenecks.

:hourglass_not_done: Load data conditionally and use lazy loading or pagination where applicable to enhance performance.

These practices have helped me optimize performance, save time, and improve the overall maintainability of my apps. Hope this helps others building in Bubble!
