- Heavy data loading during app initialization
- Complex logic in OnStart / OnVisible events
- Multiple API calls executed simultaneously
- Large datasets retrieved from Microsoft Dataverse
- Custom pages or scripts taking longer to render
- Loaded only required data instead of full datasets
- Used filtering instead of retrieving entire tables
- Improved performance of multiple data calls
- Loaded data only when needed (on demand)
- Removed unnecessary controls and logic
- Eliminated long-running or blocking operations
- Avoid heavy logic in App OnStart
- Always use delegation-friendly queries
- Load minimal data initially
- Use lazy loading for better performance
- Regularly monitor app performance using tools
- Keep custom pages lightweight and optimized
