Why does it take so long to login? - CRM OnDemand slow long issue

What do you have loading on your homepage? Did you know that every list you have on your default login homepage needs to complete before the page can fully load? If you are experiencing slow logins this is one thing you will want to become more familiar with. Slow lists = slow logins.

 

 

Try removing lists from your homepage and see how performance is impacted. I generally remove all of them. Then add the lists I actually use back. One at a time. You will need to allow some time in between testing the new homepage layout, this is because the database will be caching allot of the data on the homepage if you test logging out and back in back to back. You will find the slowest list though and once you do you can start to remedy the issue.
