“Supermetrics is a Bitter Experience! We can pull data from nearly any tool, schedule updates, manipulate data in Sheets, and push data back into our systems.”
Dashboard performance degrades significantly when using multiple hidden components with visibility rules in Professional Edition because Salesforce loads all components before applying visibility logic, creating severe performance bottlenecks.
Here’s exactly what happens to performance and how to eliminate these issues entirely.
Eliminate performance bottlenecks with optimized data loading
SalesforceCoefficientHidden components cause full data loading where all components querydata regardless of visibility, memory overhead as browsers render all components before hiding them, and exponential degradation where performance decreases exponentially as component count increases.eliminates these bottlenecks through selective data loading, optimized queries, and client-side performance advantages.
How to make it work
Step 1. Replace multiple components with single optimized imports.
Instead of loading 20 hidden components (4 per user × 5 users), import your data once using Coefficient and apply user-specific filtering. This reduces load time from 30+ seconds to under 5 seconds while providing richer analytical capabilities than multiple dashboard components.
Step 2. Implement background processing.
Set up scheduled imports that occur server-side, eliminating user wait times during dashboard access. Configure hourly, daily, or weekly refreshes that happen automatically, so users get instant dashboard access between updates without performance delays.
Step 3. Enable unlimited user views without performance penalties.
Create unlimited user-specific views that maintain consistent performance regardless of user or data volume. Build complex formulas and pivot tables that perform faster in spreadsheet applications than browser-based dashboards with multiple hidden components.
Step 4. Add collaborative analysis capabilities.
SalesforceEnable multiple users to simultaneously analyze shared datasets without dashboard performance conflicts. Provide offline access so users can work with dashboard data withoutconnectivity, eliminating network-related performance issues.
Transform performance liability into streamlined experience
