Website and Desktop App moving extremely slow?

Anyone else having issues with Wrike moving painstakingly slow for them over the last several weeks? To me it all seems to correlate with their latest big design update. While I admit it does look a whole better, I much rather have it look like it previously did while also performing like it previously did. Does anyone have any tips or tricks to make it snappy and responsive like it used to be? It's being a real productivity killer now, and if that  keeps , we may switch to another platform.

I am beyond frustrated with the new WRIKE updates. I was aware the UI changes were coming, but it's slow and freezes up. I can no longer simply tab over on a line, I can no longer simply edit a cell, or easily change workflow for status updates. I do not like when the cell opens automatically when I click in the cell, I cannot easily copy multiple cells downward, you have to click into cells a couple of times so it catches the cell to edit. The scrolling up and down is slow and by the time I try clicking into the cell, it's time delayed and I end up editing another cell. I had to recalculate all my task and projects in the % complete column. And that is just the basics I'm noticing. I agree that the slowness and the updated UI is causing slower productivity.

I am also having this issue a lot. I have to have the browser and the Wrike desktop tab open and have to switch in the middle of the task to see if one will do the task faster. I have been training a lot and found that before training I have to restart my computer so that it'll move a little faster. It still takes time to catch up, but seems a tad better for a little while. It happens often and is very frustrating.

Has there been any updates on this? Wrike is still incredibly slow after the updates and it's been months now. The program is almost unusable.

It's gotten a whole lot responsive for me over the last month or two but I don't quite know why.

Performance is still an issue. Specifically, when I am scrolling, copying cells downward or adding a row(s). For adding row(s), I have to wait a few seconds before it adds the row and then it takes me back to the beginning of the section, which then I have to scroll back down to the added row to update and this entire process has now taken about 15 seconds. I am beginning to develop a 2024 plan, so I hope this is not the case, as I typically add 1000+ tasks to a yearly plan.

Has this been resolved? I am a new user and was going to bring my entire team over but after adding all my projects it has gotten extremely slow. Very off putting.

Everything is slowing down for me, too. I can't even make more than two changes in the form editor before it crashes. I'm also a new user, so this is not a great start for me and my team. Appreciate any help with this, thanks!

Our team is experiencing the same issues as noted above.  When we open a task, the green bell appears and the page takes a long time to load.  We are frustrated as this is bogging down our process and delaying project completion.
