Hi  
I try to create a simple dashboard with 10 gauge component. But as a result the loading of view increase dramatically with only 10 gauge on view.  
I don’t understand why gauge component have to had so negative impact on performance.  
Is there any trick for this component to make loading view faster?  
I use v8.0.12.

Heck yeah, it does. We are aware and working on it. Turn off animations and update the gauges less frequently in the meantime. Consider setting their loading to non-blocking so that it might prioritize the loading of other views, assuming they are nested in views.

I am experiencing the same slow performance.

8.1.13 perspective.

We even experience it with no TAG associated with the GAUGE.  
We did a test with some hardcoded values and with 10 GAUGES on a screen  
it is dramatically slower then with 1 GAUGE on a screen.

We are using the “half gauge”.  
We are not using nested views, just putting the GAUGE on a screen.  
Then set some hardcoded values for testing performance.  
The only changes I made to the properties were:  
“animate” = False. I did not notice any change.  
“innerAxis” = we are not using it.  
“outerAxis” = set the “ranges” to 4 different segment between 0-100.

Basically we dropped it on the screen and gave it some hardcoded values  
to see performance.

Can you suggest any changes to the way I am setting up the control?

Thanks

I suggest to use apex chart instead if you really like niddle gauge you can create it by SVG.  
I hope IA drop xy chart and all related of amchart and use apex chart which lower the cost of perspective.

Hi,

Any news about it? I just reached a 10-second loading time on the screen with 15 gauges 😃

Cheers

Any updates? I have a screen with 30 gauges and it is really slow to load.

There's a pure svg gauge [available on the Exchange](https://inductiveautomation.com/exchange/2461/overview) that seems to be much more lightweight than the gauge component.

If you do end up implementing it, I would be very very interested to see load times before and after (for an actual project with 30 gauges - this is invaluable information).

That one is too simple! I tried using the "[SVG Gauge](https://inductiveautomation.com/exchange/2447/overview)" from the exchange to recreate the object (match) and found it was not great. The objects drew stuff wrong.

Original Dashboard using Gauges:

Using SVG Gauge form Exchange:

I might try this one ([Perspective Gauge](https://inductiveautomation.com/exchange/2451/overview)). It is a little too busy though. I wanted a simple gauge and really like the built in. Loading is just soooo slow.

Love the gauge, hate the loading time. Sometimes the dial even simply gets stuck on max until you refresh the screen.

Sad. 😥

I feel like this gauge gets decent load time. I use a modified version of it (I made it so I can set min/max range and stuff like that.

Thanks - not yet. I'll give it a go.

May be, our [module](https://i4cortex.com/product/vcortex-visual-component/) which base on eCharts helps you. We have 12 gauges, and the loading time is perfect like SVG.

Like ApexChart you need to read the documentation to customize them.

Here is loading of 100 gauges:

I've since released my modified version of that gauge SVG. It has pretty good load time and look/feel.

🤯

Awesome.

We've been playing with animated SVGs for a manufacturing belt - pretty cool.

Thanks Nader

I now have two options... like an unexpected Christmas present.
