that will recompile your files when you start appdaemon, but not any more after that.
What i meant by this is i feel like there is maybe a component or process when loading that is maybe causing the lag.
yeah but not from your dashboard server but on the device where you load it or your network.
if your tablet is faster then your PC, then the problem is on your PC not in the server.
you dont go to google and say: “hey, my tablet loads faster then my PC, so there must be something wrong with your servers” you find out what is wrong with your PC.
you can rebuild your system as much as you like, but i dont think you will find anything.
probably 2-3 seconds on the Samsung tablet
that is pretty normal so your dashboard is running as expected.
Thanks, i will add the recompile text and restart AppDaemon and see how we go.

Agreed. Was just comparing the speeds on all my devices and can appreciate that theyre not all going to be the same.
Either way i want to re build my Home Assistant setup on the new RPi3 B+ and clean it all up as there as been alot of “testing”. Now that im happy with my setup it will be good to just slowly set it all back up and take note of how its all acting as i add everything back.
I still haven;t seen any info in the actual compile times - which as Rene states is all I can have an influence on. If a dashboard requires compilation due to a change it will take a lot longer than if it does not. On my system (much more powerful than a PI) a bifgcompile takes 1 - 2 seconds, but if no compile is required, the dashboard piece is done in maybe 50 ms. After a 50ms compile, my iPad loads the dash in half a second or less.
Now, in a pi, the compile time could be 5 - 10 seconds, but if no compile is required, the PIs response should be way less than a second.
So, I want to see the actual compile times - they are in your access log. If I see 10 seconds for an already compiled dash there is a problem in AD, but if it’s less than a second, the problem is elsewhere as Rene has described.
And for completeness, there were no significant changes that I am aware of to the dashboard in 3.0 - the only thing I am aware of that would affect loading times, especially on slower devices is a bug fix I made to the security code, which is why I asked if you were using passwords - you’re not so that can’t be a factor.
IN a regular running system, all the dashboards should be compiled, and even on slow devices you should get a decent response time - compilation is what takes the most time and is affected by the power of your platform which is why I made efforts to only compile a dashboard when necessary.
Hi Andrew, apologies but i have been a bit busy at work hence not getting around to posting my logs.
As i recently re setup HASSIO i did have a quick look in the HA front end at the logs and navigating to different dashboards were taking anywhere from 2-3 seconds. I dont have alot on these pages either. I also added the lines as @ReneTode noted but it didnt make a difference after restarting the appdaemon service.
Is there anything in the logs i should look out for to ensure that those lines are effective? I will post a copy of the logs tonight.
Here is a copy of the AppDaemon log after restarting the service and then loading a couple pages. I know there are warnings coming up with the CSS files but i removed that widget and it took the same amount of time.
Is there anything unusual in here that you guys can see?

Here is my log performing the tasks as you mentioned.
I’ve also attached my appdaemon.yaml file below for reference. A question I had regarding that is my dash_url is not what I use to access HADashboard. Is this normal? I use 10.0.0.117:5050 where as that shows 127.0.0.1:5050.

That’s what I was thinking. The URL I use is the same IP address as my RPi but the URL in the appdaemon.yaml file was created on install.
I changed the URL to what I was use and restarted to see if would make any difference and nothing. I even # the URL out and everything still worked with no difference. Is that weird or is that URL for something else?
changes in appdaemon.yaml only take effect if you restart appdaemon correctly (sometimes you need to restart your device to make sure AD is really restarted)
you probably didnt do that, so appdaemon just kept running with its old values.
without dash_url set the dashboard cannot start, unless they have made serious changes in appdaemon in the hassio addon.
From that log it looks like you are compiling the dash every time - I would expect to see the first one take a long time and the subsequent ones be much faster. Are you changing any files in the meantime in the compiled directory, or do you have something going on in there that might cause that?
The missing CSS variables? No, I wouldn’t expect that to cause it - I check for modified source files later than the compiled files - missing files wouldn;t be checked.
Yeah that’s what I was thinking, the time taken is exactly the same every time so I didn’t feel as though it was taking the dash_compile lines in my appdaemon.yaml file. Andrew does this have anything to do with the HA_URL being different to the one i actually use to access hadashboard?
Something interesting ive discovered in checking the compiled directory. Whilst it does exist it appears like a shortcut rather than a folder. When i try to go into that folder on a command line it says that directory doesnt exists but when i run a ls command to see a list of directories in the appdaemon folder, it is there. Is this normal? I installed appdaemon 3 via the addon store in HASSIO.
yeah thats the way they have configured the addon.
its not the intended way, and has cost problems in the past, but thats what you have to live with, because you did chose hassio.
with hassio, like with windows, you dont have full control about what happens on your device.
