Project startup extremely slow

Glitch Help

Whenever my project restarts, it often takes several minutes to build and start up. The same code takes about a second to build on my laptop, and it used to be much faster.

I’m using Rollup with the Vue and node-resolve plugins, as well as some server-side code. I added the perf option to Rollup, and it gave me the following timings:

In the container stats, the CPU usually peaks at around 7% during startup (I’ve seen it go much higher in the past when testing some other modules). The memory seems to correspond to the numbers above.

Is there any way I can speed it up?

hi @JBYoshi - if you remix that app, do you still encounter a very slow build time? I tried remixing it and it built in just several seconds. Let me know and I can then investigate why this particular app is experiencing a large build time.

I tried that, and the remix built in just a few seconds. It felt impressively fast compared to what I’m used to!
