Courses are slow! Clean up course code
closed
Wyatt Christensen
I've been deep in the course code creating features that I wanted to exist, and I am shocked at how much useless code is left over. There is a full blown contact info submit form just sitting there... DOING NOTHING... followed by a countdown timer, a webinar loading scroll wheel and like 4 other things have have nothing to do with a course.
I'm already shocked at how slow the load times are inside of the courses, but it absolutely makes sense why the load times are so long... because there is so so so many useless things that have to load in, when there is no reason for them to be there.
Also, it pulls in all the code from the "styles" which is a TON of data that just wastes time. Especially when you don't use the "styles" in the first place.
Anyways. There is SO MUCH inside of the course code that really really doesn't need to be there. Please clean it up.

Course page load speed
Richard Brice
The page load speed for the courses is outrageously slow both in the creation process and live. Building the course takes forever because anytime you duplicate a page etc it takes 10 to 30 seconds for it to happen.
For the live program it takes 10 seconds to load every page, which makes for a horrible user experience. And it means that you can't show people inside your program during live presentations because there is a 10 second delay each time.
One of the features that Russell initially sold CF 2.0 on was the page load speed. But CF 2.0 is the slowest platform I've ever used. So much so, I haven't started selling my course on it yet and am instead still using Kartra for the checkout and membership.

I agree. One of the biggest selling points of ClickFunnels 2.0 was the "significantly improved page loading speeds" but this turned out to be just another false promise. I have an extremely fast computer and WiFi... but even then, the editor loads unbelievably slowly when I'm working on my pages. And whenever I test my courses from the customer's perspective, I'm always shocked at how slow it is. I always wonder: If the courses are this slow even though I'm using this computer and have these WiFi speeds, how much slower will it be to 99% of my customers that have worse conditions than me?

Hey Richard Brice Thank you for expressing your concern and sharing your feedback and adding this request. That's a great suggestion for our teams to look at improving. We'll be sure to keep this open for others to vote on and for our dev team for review.
In the meantime, there are suggestions you can follow to improve page speed. Most of which is images and video. You can choose to lazy load the images and reduce their quality, so they load faster. With the videos, if you can reduce the size of the upload, that would help too. Thanks again for your patience and feedback.

During program creation it takes 20 to 30 seconds to navigate between pages and very frequently crashes. That makes just going through and turning videos to lazy loading (so I can test the difference) a very arduous task.
I'm trying to move from Kartra to CF, but on kartra pages load almost instantly and I'm using regular size files with no adjustments.

We are constantly working to speed up load time on all pages.
I am going to close this feature request though as their is no definitive way set a end goal on a request like this.
